q2 · i? · qualitative · r2

Negative-perceptions sub-theme from thematic analysis of interviews with 10 trained teachers. Codes included infrastructure and accessibility issues, accuracy–reliability concerns, age appropriateness, and insufficient teacher competencies.

"Concerns were raised about the accuracy and reliability of AI applications, with calls for caution when tools have not been rigorously validated (P2, P9)."
