GenAI-Natives - Educating (the next generation of) teachers on usage of generative artificial intelligence
Project Description
Objectives: What do you want to achieve by implementing the project?
The project aims to enhance the understanding and effective integration of generative AI primarily in secondary education
by evaluating real-world AI usage. It seeks to provide best practices to use and self-implement AI tools that empower
teachers to leverage AI ethically and effectively, fostering digital literacy, AI competency, and innovative teaching methods.
It aims to be accessible for a wide audience by providing online material and hybrid events.
Implementation: What activities are you going to implement?
Our data and results are going to be based on a large-scale pilot study with 100+ teachers using ChatGPT-based tools. Our
mixed methods study design covers interviews, surveys, and computational analyses. We will develop and deliver teacher
training workshops, create teaching materials, and design customizable AI tools for lecturers, as well as guidelines how to
do so.
Results: What project results and other outcomes do you expect your project to have?
The project will produce evidence-based insights into AI's role in education, best practices for its use, unveil limitations,
provide teacher training materials, and AI tools for lecturers. As we integrate our findings into teaching teachers, the benefits
will be long-term and communicated through the next generation (as well as existing) teachers to children. These outcomes
will support ongoing digital literacy and AI integration, benefiting teachers, students, and educational institutions.
