Artificial Intelligence in Education: West Virginia Stakeholder Survey. Description of Findings
West Virginia Department of Education
The purpose of this Executive Summary and the full report is to summarize the results and technical analyses performed with the Spring 2024 "Artificial Intelligence in Education: West Virginia Stakeholder Survey", which was used to collect stakeholder feedback related to perceptions of using artificial intelligence (AI) in education. The results are being used to inform and enhance the support provided to schools and districts regarding appropriate uses of AI in education, as well as provide stakeholders with transparency about their collective perceptions. The survey included a total of 22 or 27 questions total, depending on the stakeholder group. Survey responses were received from a total of 1,025 stakeholders, representing school and district staff, as well as family and community members. Questions asked about various perceptions and concerns related to the use of AI in educational settings. Nearly 97% of respondents agree or strongly agree that essential learning skills (i.e., literacy, numeracy, research, critical thinking) need to remain a focus of public education, and that students should not become overly dependent upon AI. Similarly, almost all stakeholders want to see transparency surrounding AI usage. Numerous open-ended responses from educators and family members advocated for ensuring that WV students have opportunities to learn about AI so that they will be better prepared for the future which awaits them, and so they won't be left behind and at a competitive disadvantage as they prepare for post-secondary success.
