Through a quantitative cross-sectional study involving 452 professors from six public and private universities in northern Peru, the research tested six hypotheses regarding the relationships between attitudes toward AI, constructivist pedagogical beliefs, facilitating conditions, and teaching modality. Data were collected via validated instruments and analyzed via structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results revealed that attitudes toward AI (<i>β</i> = 0.529, <i>p</i> < 0.001) and constructivist pedagogical beliefs (<i>β</i> = 0.253, <i>p</i> < 0.01) significantly influence AI adoption, whereas facilitating conditions have no significant effect. The study also revealed that AI use strongly impacts teacher leadership (<i>β</i> = 0.711, <i>p</i> < 0.001) and teacher concerns (<i>β</i> = 0.597, <i>p</i> < 0.001). However, teaching modality did not significantly moderate the relationship between attitudes and AI use. The model showed robust explanatory power, with AI use explaining 50.5% of the variance in teacher leadership and 35.6% in teacher concerns.

We conducted a survey-based study (<i>N</i> = 604) to examine how OMW and (in contrast) openness to metaverse entertainment (OME) relate to differences in gender, videoconferencing fatigue, and metaverse information seeking. We found that OMW was positively related to OME. However, OMW ratings were lower than OME, and gender differences in OMW and OME were mediated by videoconferencing fatigue and metaverse information seeking.

Responding to the growing trend of integrating GenAI tools into EFL instruction, this study explored Iranian teachers’ behavioral intentions to use GenAI applications, such as ChatGPT, for English teaching in higher education. Anchored in the “UTAUT” framework, the study examined external factors influencing adoption intentions, while the TPACK model assessed internal factors tied to instructors’ AI usage. A structural model featuring 20 hypotheses based on the “UTAUT” and “AI-TPACK” was proposed. Data were gathered from 444 Iranian EFL teachers via an online survey and analyzed using “partial least squares structural equation modeling and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA).” The results highlighted the critical roles of performance expectancy and social influence in shaping adoption intentions. Interestingly, a negative relationship between AI-TPACK and behavioral intentions revealed a paradox: Deeper technological knowledge may hinder, rather than facilitate, AI adoption in teaching. Key drivers of adoption included teachers’ perceptions of GenAI’s potential to enhance instructional performance and support from social networks. Effort expectancy, however, was less significant in this context. The study also identified sociocultural and institutional challenges as crucial barriers, underscoring the need to address these for sustained AI integration.
