Requirements for employing Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Educational Decision-Making in some Educational Institutions in Morocco from the perspectives of Teaching and Administrative Staff

Abstract

The study aimed to explore the requirements for employing artificial intelligence applications in educational decision-making in some educational institutions in Morocco, from the teaching and administrative staff perspective. The study relied on a descriptive analytical approach. The study sample consisted of 225 individuals, including institutional directors, administrators, and professors. The tool included four principal axes: human requirements, material requirements, challenges, and proposed solutions. The results showed high agreement on the importance of developing human competencies (such as specialized training), with an average of 3.43, and on enhancing technological infrastructure (such as modern devices), with an average of 3.58. The most prominent challenges, however, were weak digital infrastructure and slow internet connections. Participants also proposed practical solutions, such as strengthening partnerships with technical entities and adopting policies that support digital transformation. Statistical analyses revealed significant differences in assessing material requirements in favor of women and those with doctoral degrees. The study recommends adopting strategic plans to integrate artificial intelligence into the educational system, focusing on training human resources and ensuring data security.
