Professional knowledge complements general technology acceptance in mathematics teachers' critical behavioral intention toward AI.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2026. 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
Introduction: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming education globally. In mathematics education, AI is being rapidly integrated, making teachers' critical behavioral intention (CBI) toward AI increasingly essential. Mathematics teachers' CBI refers to their ability to evaluate AI-generated outputs for mathematical accuracy and pedagogical appropriateness aligned with students' Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD). Current technology acceptance models rarely incorporate subject-specific factors. This study extends the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model by adding two core dimensions of Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching (MKT), specifically Specialized Content Knowledge (SCK) and Knowledge of Content and Students (KCS), with perceived trust (PT) as a mediator. Methods: A survey was administered to 169 mathematics teachers and PLS-SEM was employed to test models. Results: In the baseline UTAUT model, both performance expectancy (PE) and effort expectancy (EE) significantly predicted CBI. In the full model (integrating SCK, KCS and PT), only PE remained a significant direct effect. KCS significantly influenced PT, which in turn predicted CBI; SCK showed no such effect. The full model explained 56.3% of the variance in CBI. Discussion: To better harness AI in mathematics teaching, teacher professional development should ensure solid SCK while placing greater emphasis on KCS, and AI system design should strengthen PT rather than merely prioritize usability and operational efficiency.
