Impact Of Ai Training On The Level Of Ai Knowledge Among Prospective Teachers

Abstract

In this 21st century, education has seen tremendous change and transformation. From classrooms to boardrooms, the shift from paper and pencil to touchscreens is here to stay, and it is never going to go back. Teachers, being the cornerstone of this development, need to stay ahead of the students. According to the Global Student AI Survey 2024 released by the Digital Education Council, around 86% already use AI in their studies, and 54% of them use it on a daily or weekly basis (Rong & Chun, 2024). Therefore, this shows the urgency for teachers to integrate AI into teaching and learning. This experimental study aims to investigate the effects of training prospective teachers with AI on their knowledge level and literacy. Specifically, it aims to showcase the importance of training prospective teachers with AI tools. This study follows a quasi-experimental design with a two-group pretest and posttest design. The findings highlight the differences in the AI knowledge levels of the prospective teachers before and after the training.
