Owing to the dearth of teacher education programmes on AI, it is helpful to explore factors to be considered in designing an effective AI programme for future teachers. We posit that understanding how to encourage pre-service teachers to learn AI is thus critical for practitioners and policymakers while designing effective instructional AI teacher education programmes. This exploratory study examined the perceptions of pre-service teachers and their behavioral intention to learn AI, by identifying factors that might affect learning and promoting AI in teacher preparation programmes. This study proposed a research model supported by the theory of planned behavior and expanded with other constructs. The factors that were examined include basic knowledge of AI, subjective norm, AI for social good, perceived self-efficacy, self-transcendent goals, personal relevance, AI anxiety, behavioral intention to learn AI, and actual learning of AI. Using a duly validated questionnaire, we surveyed 796 pre-service teachers in Nigerian Universities. Through structural equation modeling approach analyses, our proposed model explains about 79% of the variance in pre-service teachers' intention to learn AI. Basic knowledge and subjective norm were found to be the most important determinant in pre-service teachers' intention to learn AI. All our hypotheses were supported except for self-efficacy and personal relevance, personal relevance and social good, and behavioral intention and actual learning behavior. The findings provide practitioners, researchers, and policymakers with valuable information to consider in designing effective AI teacher education programmes.

The study adopted a quasi-experimental design and was carried out at First Technical University, Ibadan. The study's population consisted of 276 students enrolled in GST 004, with a sample size of 90. GST 004 was taught using ISB, and a pre-test and post-test were performed. The mean, standard deviation, t-test, and p-value were used to record and interpret the results. A questionnaire was also distributed to assess pupils' motivation. The results showed improved achievement scores and increased levels of motivation by the students who were taught using ISB, compared with those students who use the traditional method only. Results obtained from a pre-test/post-test revealed that students in the experimental group (taught using ISB) had a higher mean achievement score (23.06) and a higher mean gain score (15.27) than the control group (taught using the traditional method; mean achievement score 9.92, mean gain score 7.34). Further results from a motivation questionnaire showed that the experimental group had significantly higher scores than the control group on all three subscales of the questionnaire (Procedural Skills Rating, Interest/Enjoyment, and Perceived Choice), with the highest difference being for the Procedural Skills Rating subscale. The overall motivation score for the experimental group was also much higher than that of the control group. These findings suggest that ISB technologies have the potential to transform educational practices in Nige ria as the country strives to provide students with a quality education that meets the best global standards while also recasting itself as an innovative, efficient, and adaptable economy capable of competing in our modern world.

It aimed at understanding the need for ICT and teacher education, understanding how ICT and teacher education enhance sustainability. The behemoth influence of ICTs can be felt in their dominance of all areas of human endeavours where they seem to define and refine interactions, social relations, work processes and standards. ICTs have recorded much success in many sectors and it is the contention in this paper that they can transmogrify the educational sector positively, particularly teacher education. However, ICTs have been identified as having the potential to change the complexion and content of teacher education if the tools are put to work. It is expected that government will provide the required political and economic wherewithal needed for the easy adoption of ICT tools in driving teacher education processes and objectives in Nigeria for a sustainable national development. This paper therefore, discusses the inclusion of ICT in Teacher Education as a veritable tool for sustainable national development in Nigeria. A conclusion is drawn and recommendations are made.
