Abstract
This study aims to examine high school teachers' perceptions of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and how these perceptions differ based on various demographic and professional variables. The research, conducted using a quantitative research methodology, employed the "Artificial Intelligence Perception Scale" as a data collection tool. A total of 355 teachers with diverse professional experiences and demographic characteristics participated in the study.The findings indicate that high school teachers generally have a positive perception of AI technologies. While no significant difference was found in AI perceptions based on gender, variables such as school type and prior technological training were observed to influence perceptions. Teachers working in private schools demonstrated higher perceptions of AI compared to those in public schools. Moreover, teachers who had received training on AI exhibited more positive attitudes toward these technologies. The results emphasize the need for increasing training programs and improving infrastructure to enhance teachers' perceptions of AI technologies. Recommendations include strengthening technological integration, raising awareness of AI, and enhancing teachers' digital skills.
