artificial intelligence, teaching, perceptions, challengesAbstract
The man-machine relationship has long been a controversial issue. Among supporters who see the machine as a way to lighten tasks, make life easier, boost production, and afford humans more leisure time. Pessimists see the machine as a competitor that keeps taking their places in the world of work. Indeed, since the invention of the computer, various sectors of activity have seen profound changes in the management of many tasks that have been automated, resulting in job losses in these sectors. In the education sector, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) has become increasingly important throughout the world. To this end, it is important to explore teachers' perceptions and perspectives regarding AI in teaching. The aim of this article is to provide a viewpoint on the teacher-AI relationship with the perspective of better meeting their training needs for a better exploitation of AI in teaching life and earth sciences.
