Quantifying teachers' readiness for artificial intelligence adoption in education: a mathematical modeling perspective.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
We developed a mathematical model based on the classical SEIR (Susceptible-Exposed-Infective-Recovered) framework to predict teachers' readiness to adopt Artificial Intelligence (AI) in educational settings, with a specific focus on Nigeria. In this context, we reinterpret the compartments as follows: Unaware population (S) represents teachers who are not yet aware of AI's potential in education; Aware (E) includes teachers who are informed but undecided about AI adoption; Adopters (I) are those who have begun integrating AI into their teaching practices; and Discontinued Users (R) are teachers who previously used AI but have ceased due to resource constraints or lack of institutional support. We meticulously analyzed the model's properties, including positivity, boundedness, and stability, to ensure the accuracy and applicability of the results. Additionally, a comprehensive sensitivity analysis was performed to identify key parameters influencing the dynamics of AI adoption. Numerical simulations were utilized to demonstrate the effects of these parameters on the teacher population over time. Our results reveal that a higher teacher attrition rate decreases the unaware population initially but leads to a resurgence after a critical threshold is crossed. Furthermore, the rapid transition from awareness to adoption was instrumental in accelerating AI integration, whereas sustained resource availability emerged as a crucial determinant for maintaining long-term adoption. This study provides valuable insights into the nuanced dynamics of AI adoption among educators, highlighting the necessity for targeted interventions and effective resource allocation to facilitate successful AI integration in teaching. The findings have significant implications for policymakers and educational institutions aiming to promote the adoption of AI-enhanced pedagogical practices, underscoring the importance of strategic planning and support mechanisms to foster a conducive environment for technology-driven educational advancements.
