Towards professionalism: AI to benefit student-teachers’ lesson planning
A quasi-experimental study with 91 pre-service elementary educators found that chatbot-driven simulations improved overall lesson planning, pedagogical knowledge, and teaching self-efficacy compared to a no-treatment control group.
- 判断
- AI simulations provide a scalable method to bridge theory and practice in teacher education, potentially enhancing the quality of early childhood and elementary instruction through better prepared teachers.
- 实践
- Teacher education programs may consider integrating AI-driven simulations as a supplemental tool for lesson planning practice, while continuing to evaluate their effectiveness in real classroom settings.
