It is inevitable in the education aspect that teachers were informed and aware on how AI works. Teachers nowadays must be adaptive, flexible, and relevant in this tech driven world. AI in the education sector provides personalization, automation, accessibility, and data-driven insights. These features contribute to improved learning outcomes, increased teacher efficiency, and a more responsive and effective education system, ultimately benefiting students and educators alike. To address the research gaps, this study explores the status, challenges and future directions of AI in teaching practice. Since the field of AI-based instruction is still developing, this study can contribute to the development of comprehensive AI-based instruction that allow teachers to participate in the working process.
