Key Points

This research explores how teachers perceive and prefer to integrate artificial intelligence into their teaching practices.
322 primary and secondary school teachers from Croatia completed an online questionnaire.
The survey assessed professional awareness, conceptual beliefs, and preferred AI pedagogical approaches.
Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple regression were employed for data analysis.
Teachers showed a clear preference for an integrative approach, with AI supporting teaching while retaining teacher control.
The traditional approach was less favored, and the technological approach was rarely accepted.
Higher acceptance of AI as a useful teaching tool positively influenced preference for the integrative approach, while critical beliefs negatively impacted preferences.
