Description

The rapid rise of generative AI offers new possibilities for teaching and learning in STEM education. Based on the DigCompEdu framework, our course integrates AI as a key module, providing pre-service STEM teachers with both practical skills and a conceptual understanding of AI models. Students engage with advanced prompting techniques and use AI to enhance their work as future teachers, e.g., to design innovative lessons. Through a three-year longitudinal study, we observed a significant improvement in lessons’ quality. At the conference, we will present our study materials, student outputs, and findings on students’ evolving perceptions of AI in education.
