The study results revealed that 1) a comparison of learning outcomes before and after the training using paired t-tests showed a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05), with post-training scores being higher than pre-training scores, 2) the development of learning achievement in AI technology skills, in terms of knowledge and skills, showed mean improvements of 2.30 and 2.45, respectively, categorized as very good quality, 3) the correlation between training and achievement was very high, with a coefficient (r) of 0.85, and 4) success factors included practical training and content quality, which were applied to improve teaching effectiveness and innovation at a higher level. The training significantly enhanced teaching efficiency and innovation. In conclusion, the research tools met all criteria, with their reliability ranging from high to very high.
