Subclaims¶

q2 i? In U.S. national instructor survey evidence, 72% experimented with GenAI as an instructional tool yet only 14% report confidence using it instructionally. → Sangwa 2025 q2 i? In a global faculty survey, 61% report having used AI in teaching, with non-users citing lack of time/resources (40%) and uncertainty about pedagogical use (38%). → Sangwa 2025 (2)

q2 · i? · review · r2

The synthesis reports, citing the Ithaka S+R national instructor survey analysis (2,654 U.S. instructors in the GenAI module), that "72% experimented with GenAI as an instructional tool, yet only 14% report confidence using it instructionally". Percentages are reproduced from the cited source; no effect size is printed.

"72% experimented with GenAI as an instructional tool, yet only 14% report confidence using it instructionally; 38% report little/no confidence"

q2 · i? · review · r2

The synthesis reports, citing the Digital Education Council Global AI Faculty Survey 2025 (1,681 faculty, 52 institutions, 28 countries), that "61% report having used AI in teaching" with barriers of time/resources and pedagogical uncertainty. Descriptive survey percentages only; no effect size printed.

"61% report having used AI in teaching; among non-users, top barriers include lack of time/resources (40%) and uncertainty about how to use AI in teaching (38%)"

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Institutions have expanded student access to generative AI tools faster than they have developed policies, guidance, and shared learning goals for their use — related
• Faculty concerns centered on academic integrity (80%) and student over-reliance on AI (70%), and their most requested development topic was AI ethics and academic integrity (70%) — related
• Institutional barriers to AI integration — ethics concerns, insufficient training, policy gaps, and infrastructure limits — are widespread and co-occurring — related
• Generative AI adoption among learners and workers is outpacing institutional policy readiness, creating a gap between behavior and policy — a broader claim this one bears on
• Academic integrity, professional development, and equity concerns about AI span all surveyed units, though interpreted differently — related
• Educator AI training and readiness remain limited, with only about half of teachers trained on AI and resistance increasing at higher grade levels — related
• Teachers' low digital competence and lack of AI training frameworks are key barriers to GAI integration in K-12 — related
• Teachers value pronunciation instruction highly but report seldom teaching it and low satisfaction with how they teach it — related
