Abstract

This study explores the perception of science teachers on the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Biology education through a literature review approach. It aims to identify the benefits, challenges and applications of AI tools as perceived by science teachers. The review analyzed studies sources via SciSpace, highlighting teacher attitudes, AI tool types and the barriers to implementation. The research found generally positive perceptions toward AI in Biology, especially regarding improved lesson planning, visualization and adaptive learning. However, challenges, such as, technical limitations, curriculum alignment and lack of professional development remain. The findings underscore the need for targeted teacher training and policy reform to support meaningful AI integration Biology instruction.
