Abstract

This study aims to examine elementary school teachers’ intention to use AI digital textbooks and the factors influencing those intentions, based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). To this end, a survey was conducted with teachers at public elementary schools in Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Incheon. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, reliability and validity testing, and regression, while responses to open-ended questions were qualitatively analyzed using NVivo. Through these analyses, the study identified teachers’ perceptions, expected benefits, challenges experienced during use, and attitudes, and verified the effects of performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions on their intention to use AI digital textbooks. The results indicated that all four factors had positive effects on behavioral intention, with performance expectancy emerging as the most influential predictor. In addition, teachers’ perceptions and behavioral intentions varied according to grade level and years of teaching experience. The findings offer meaningful implications for the effective implementation of AI digital textbooks, the development of teacher training programs, and future educational policy planning.
