AISES-T Scale Measures Teacher AI Confidence

On October 23, 2026, the 'Frontiers in Education' published the AISES-T scale, consisting of 22 items divided into three factors: AI Use and Learning Self-Efficacy, Pedagogical AI Integration Self-Efficacy, and AI Awareness and Understanding Self-Efficacy. The study showed that AI self-efficacy explained 32% of the variance in AI-supported instructional design engagement.

Educational institutions can use the scale to more accurately identify differences in teachers' confidence in AI application The scale does not confirm a direct link between AI self-efficacy and teaching effectiveness, requiring cautious interpretation of results
