Description
Emmanuel Nana Kwesi Ofori Darko, Zhanyong Qi and Zhiyuan Wang study generative AI use and teacher confidence in Ghana, in a 2026 mixed-methods study of K-12 educators. A survey reached 512 teachers across varied districts, followed by interviews with 20 teachers chosen for depth.
More frequent generative AI use correlated with higher teacher self-efficacy and instructional confidence in the survey results. Using the tools for lesson planning and for making differentiated materials predicted efficacy most strongly in layered models. Support from the institution and professional development shaped how far those gains went, and interviews added context on daily classroom use. The authors frame AI adoption as a belief-shaping change, not only a technical one.
