The level of technological acceptance of artificial intelligence applications in teacher preparation programs at university education in Ma'an Governorate

The study aimed to investigate the impact of using artificial intelligence applications on improving the educational process, and the extent to which teachers in university teacher preparation programs at the College of Science accept these applications based on variables such as gender, academic year, and training courses. The study adopted a descriptive analytical approach and used a questionnaire consisting of multiple dimensions: expected ease of use and behavioral intentions. The sample included a number of students from the College of Science enrolled in teacher preparation programs in Ma'an Governorate, who were randomly selected. The results showed a neutral trend toward accepting artificial intelligence applications, with no statistically significant differences between the responses of teacher educators attributed to academic year, gender, or the number of training courses. The study recommended strengthening vocational training programs related to artificial intelligence technology, providing a supportive infrastructure, and integrating these technologies into curricula to improve the quality of education. It also encouraged innovation and conducted further future studies.
