ABSTRACT
We describe the development and trial of a survey based on self-determination theory to investigate the motivations of K-12 teachers to learn ML and AI. Our participants (n=28) were most motivated by personal enjoyment (an intrinsic motivator) and student benefits rather than extrinsic factors, such as external pressure. We will further investigate teacher motivation, as we suggest that this is an important aspect of ML and AI education research.

Teachers' Motivation for Teaching AI in K-12 settings
HCAIep '23: Proceedings of the 2023 Conference on Human Centered Artificial Intelligence: Education and PracticeThere is a growing consensus that both teachers and students have to understand AI and be able to appraise the trustworthiness of AI technologies used in classrooms. This could be achieved, to some extent, through the promotion of AI literacy in K-12. ...
How Do People Participate in Social Network Sites After Crises? A Self-Determination Perspective
People increasingly rely on social network sites (SNSs) to find out timely information about crises. Thus, emergency managers are interested in how people participate and how to promote their participation in SNSs after crises. Based on self-...
Development and Validation of the Motivation to Teach Computer Science Scale
SIGCSE '21: Proceedings of the 52nd ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science EducationMotivation is a powerful driver of teachers' decisions to enter the teaching profession and why they stay in the field. As computer science education (CSEd) expands and the need for well-prepared computer science (CS) teachers grows, understanding what ...
