The analysis revealed that pre-service teachers demonstrated high levels of knowledge, skills, and positive
attitudes toward AI use. This indicates that they are not only aware of the importance of the technology but
also possess technical proficiency and a favorable outlook on integrating AI into T&L. The correlation values
further support these findings, with knowledge showing the highest correlation (r = .822), followed by skills (r
= .795), and attitudes (r = .792). All three correlations fall within the “very strong” category, confirming that
pre-service teachers’ readiness to use AI is significantly influenced by their mastery of these dimensions.
These results validate the study’s hypothesis that there is a significant relationship between pre-service
teachers’ readiness and their knowledge, skills, and attitudes toward AI. Strong knowledge enables teachers to
understand basic AI concepts, recognize its potential in the classroom, and plan its effective use. Skills refer to
the practical ability to operate AI-based software, applications, or platforms in delivering instruction.
Meanwhile, a positive attitude serves as a key driver for technology acceptance, including the willingness to
try new approaches and adapt to change. Together, these aspects are interdependent and essential for
empowering pre-service teachers to face future educational challenges.
The study also recommends that, despite the high levels of readiness observed, there is an urgent need for
teacher education institutions to provide more training, workshops, and hands-on exposure to AI. This includes
collaborative and experiential activities that help pre-service teachers apply AI in real classroom contexts.
Teacher training curricula should also be reviewed to ensure they comprehensively incorporate current
educational technologies. This is crucial to ensure that every pre-service teacher is not only digitally literate
but also capable of integrating technology critically and creatively into their teaching practices.
Overall, the findings of this study present an optimistic outlook on pre-service teachers’ readiness to adopt AI
in T&L. It emphasizes that knowledge, skills, and attitudes form a strong foundation for a teacher’s ability to
use technology effectively. This study contributes to the educational literature by offering empirical evidence
that AI integration in the education system can be more effectively realized if it begins at the teacher training
level. Therefore, it is essential for stakeholders such as the Ministry of Education, higher education
institutions, and teacher training agencies to play a proactive role in strengthening the digital readiness of
future educators.
