Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze faculty's perceptions of AI chatbots' educational use. For this purpose, an online survey was conducted targeting faculty at K University in Seoul, and a total of 126 responses were analyzed. We derived keywords through both thematic analyses and word cloud analyses and used MANOVA to validate distinctions in AI chatbots comprehension, usage intention, and training requirements. The research findings are as follows: Firstly, 85.7% of professors expressed their intention to use AI chatbots in their teaching. Secondly, faculty anticipated benefits, including gaining experience with new technologies, individualization, and diversification of classes in the educational use of AI chatbots. Thirdly, they had concerns about ethical issues and reduced creativity caused by the use of AI chatbots. Lastly, there were differences in AI chatbot comprehension and usage intention depending on the faculty's gender and major field, and in usage intention and training needs depending on faculty status, but there were no significant differences depending on age groups.
