| Abstract |
|
The current study aimed to investigate the perceptions of pre-service teachers regarding the integration of advanced technologies into future education and to examine whether these perceptions differ significantly based on the pre-service teachers' academic majors. The participants consisted of 110 pre-service teachers majoring in Ethics education and English education at a university in Korea's Gyeongsang Province. A questionnaire comprising 59 items was administered, addressing aspects such as interest in the utilization of advanced technologies, resistance to their use, concerns about their application, and expectations for the future of education over the next decade. Statistical analyses, including a paired t-test, an independent t-test, frequency analysis, and analysis of variance, were employed to examine differences based on variables of gender and major.
The study revealed statistically significant disparities in the perceptions of pre-service teachers from distinct majors, particularly between English education majors and ethics education majors, concerning the incorporation of advanced technologies in education. English education majors demonstrated notably high awareness, particularly in the domain of neural machine translation. Conversely, ethics education majors demonstrated a lower inclination to embrace the use of advanced technologies in their instructional practices. Additionally, ethics education majors expressed the belief that the role of teachers would become more pivotal in classes integrating these technologies. Considering these research outcomes, it becomes evident that future education for pre-service teachers should underscore comprehensive training in both digital technology education and the development of competencies in areas where artificial intelligence cannot replace the role of educators. |
