Introduction:
The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into education requires teachers to develop new competencies and manage their own learning. While research has examined teachers' AI attitudes, acceptance, and literacy, less is known about how they regulate their learning in AI contexts. This study examined teachers' self-regulated learning (SRL) profiles and their associations with demographic characteristics and AI-related experience.
Methods:
In a descriptive survey, 213 in-service teachers completed the Artificial Intelligence Self-Regulated Learning Scale for Teachers (AI-SRLS). Two-Step Cluster Analysis was conducted using five dimensions: task planning, self-monitoring, help seeking, institutional support, and self-evaluation.
Results:
Two profiles emerged: High Strategic Learners, who scored consistently higher across all five dimensions, and Limited Strategy Users, who reported comparatively lower strategy use. Profile membership was significantly associated with prior AI experience and AI-related training. Gender, age, and professional experience did not significantly differentiate the profiles.
Discussion:
Teachers' AI-related SRL strategies co-occur in distinct profiles, supporting a differentiated approach to professional development. Teachers with limited strategy use may benefit from structured guidance, scaffolded AI learning opportunities, and stronger institutional support, while highly strategic learners may benefit from more autonomous and advanced learning opportunities.
