Abstract

This study aimed to explore the moderating effect of AI learning behaviour on AI awareness and AI anxiety of teacher candidates in open distance learning environment. Correlation cross-sectional descriptive design was employed in this paper to investigate the status of AI-learning behaviour in moderating AI awareness and AI anxiety. Students enrolled in the faculty of education were considered as the population for the study. AI Anxiety scale (AIA), AI awareness scale (AIA), and AI Learning Behaviour questionnaire were used to collect the data from the teacher candidates. The result indicated that AI learning behaviour is found to be moderating the relationship between AI Anxiety and AI Awareness in the Pakistani context. The study recommends that the sooner education institutions shift towards artificial intelligence the sooner it will help them improve the learning outcomes of their students.
