The innovation of Technology is a product of the advancement of Artificial Intelligence, and it impacts contemporary educational practices, especially with personalized learning. Adaptive learning platforms, learning analytics, and intelligent tutoring systems are examples of AI educational tools that customize instruction based on learners’ personalized needs, learning pace, and capabilities. Nevertheless, the successful implementation of these technologies in the learning environments is contingent on the tech-savvy disposition, competencies, and attitudes of the teachers. This study focuses on Artificial Intelligence as a tool for personalized learning, and the primary study area is teacher preparation within the realm of the secondary and higher secondary levels. The study employed a mixed methods approach, and data collection was done for the quantitative strand with 200 teachers with the aid of a self-developed questionnaire, and for the qualitative strand in-depth interviews were conducted with 30 teachers. The findings showed that a majority of the teachers had a moderate level of preparedness for AI Supported personalized learning. It was found that there were significant relationships and positive correlations between the dependent and independent variables of teachers' AI-related competencies and attitudes, and formal training in relation to their willingness to implement personalized learning. Teaching experience was found to contribute to the variables i.e. there was no significant contribution of teaching experience to the preparedness of the teachers. It was found that the subject area specialization also contributed to the study variables, and there was significant contribution of the subject area specialization to the preparedness of the teachers. The qualitative findings showed that most of the teachers had a positive perception of AI as a supportive instructional tool, and there were also many challenges of limited training and infrastructure, as well as, the ethical concerns that impact the contribution of AI as a supportive instructional tool most of the teachers perceived. Systematic incorporation of AI literacy, adequate pedagogy, and ethical consideration within teacher education and ongoing training are vital for the successful implementation of AI-enhanced personalized learning.
