Frontline Education Releases Research Brief Exploring K-12 Educators’ Perspectives on AI Adoption and Pathways Forward
June 25 2024 - 8:18AM
Frontline Education, a leading provider of administration software
purpose-built for educators in K-12, today announced the release of
its latest research brief Insights into K-12 AI Adoption: Educator
Perspectives and Pathways Forward. Developed by the Frontline
Research & Learning Institute (Institute), this comprehensive
study explores educators’ perspectives on the current state of
adoption and future potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in
K-12 schools.
The report highlights the current state of AI integration in
schools, focusing on insights from Frontline's K12 Lens annual
survey. It delves into factors influencing AI adoption and
emphasizes understanding educators' perspectives. Data from a
recent Rand report reveals that 18% of teachers used AI during the
2023-24 academic year. While low adoption rates are often
attributed to factors like training and external obstacles,
Frontline’s report underscores the significance of educators'
viewpoints in shaping AI integration in K-12 education.
"At Frontline, we are dedicated to equipping school leaders with
data and insights for informed decision-making," said Mark
Friedman, Chief Marketing Officer of Frontline Education. "Our
latest research brief examines the attitudes of district leaders
and K-12 educators toward GenAI integration in schools. We are
committed to helping K-12 leaders understand the strategic
opportunities AI brings in this new era of education."
The Institute’s research brief showcases the following key
findings:
- 41% of administrators and 21% of teachers support AI in
K-12 settings
- 38% of administrators and about 50% of teachers are neutral
to AI in K-12 settings
- 21% of administrators and 34% of teachers oppose AI in
K-12 settings
- 9 unique administrator stances toward K-12 AI adoption
indicate that “support,” “oppose” and “neutral” encompass varying
nuances
Educational leaders and administrators are encouraged to explore
this valuable resource, which provides a clearer picture of
educators' attitudes toward AI. Frontline is committed to further
educating the K-12 market on AI and will be launching a summer blog
series focused on AI scenarios tailored to specific roles within
the K-12 ecosystem, aimed at improving operations and reducing
administrative burdens. This ongoing effort will equip district
leaders with unique insights and resources to better understand and
leverage AI for enhancing teaching, learning and driving positive
outcomes.
