Voices from the Global South : Myanmar educators' ethical considerations in using generative AI in teaching, learning and assessment

This study aims to explore the current application of AI in education in Myanmar and investigates the conflicts between global AI ethical principles and local cultural values. Design/methodology/approach Employing a mixed-methods research design, the study utilizes quantitative survey analysis alongside qualitative participatory workshops to provide both breadth and depth to the understanding of educators' perspectives.

Findings The quantitative findings indicate that while most ethical considerations and practical AI implementation patterns remain consistent across different groups, educators' concern for maintaining human autonomy in AI-assisted education grows significantly with their level of professional experience. Furthermore, the qualitative insights highlight a clear gap between internationally developed (often Global North-centered) AI ethics frameworks and the realities of Myanmar's education context.
