Scandinavian teachers’ attitudes toward generative artificial intelligence: Exploration of associations

Scandinavian countries combine strong digital infrastructure with growing concern toward educational technology, making them a useful context for examining teachers’ attitudes toward generative artificial intelligence (GenAI). Using data from the Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) 2024, this study seeks to better understand Scandinavian teachers’ attitudes toward GenAI. Teachers reported substantial uncertainty about both benefits and concerns. Teachers who had used GenAI and those who had received GenAI-related PD reported less uncertainty and greater agreement with potential benefits. There is suggestive evidence that using GenAI leads teachers to develop some concerns about it. We discuss several factors associated with teacher GenAI use and the implications of findings for teachers’ attitudes toward GenAI, highlighting the need for longitudinal work that explores how attitudes shift and develop.
