Abstract

This study examines how primary school teachers in different socioeconomic school contexts perceive and implement AI technology. Semi-structured interviews with ten teachers from low, medium and high SES schools were used to examine perceptions, pedagogical beliefs and institutional conditions. The findings show that the use of AI is strongly shaped by individual teaching approaches, digital infrastructure and leadership. The study highlights the risk that AI will reinforce existing inequalities unless targeted investments are made in policy and professional preconditions.
