Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming education by enhancing teaching, learning, and administrative processes. As teachers increasingly participate in AI-based teaching training, understanding its impact on their mental health has become essential. This study examines the influence of AI-based teaching training on the mental health of teachers using a descriptive survey method. Data were collected from 100 teachers through a self-developed AI Awareness Questionnaire and a standardized Mental Health Scale. The data were analyzed using percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test, and Pearson's correlation coefficient. The findings revealed that most teachers possessed moderate to high AI awareness and satisfactory mental health. A positive correlation (r = 0.68) was observed between AI competency and mental health, indicating that greater AI competency is associated with improved confidence and psychological well-being. No significant gender difference was found in mental health outcomes. The study concludes that AI-based teaching training positively contributes to teachers' professional confidence, adaptability, and overall mental well-being, highlighting the need for continuous AI training and institutional support.
