Supporting Teachers’ Artificial Intelligence (AI) Readiness for Professional Development and Activities

In this project, an attempt is being made to explore Teachers’ Artificial Intelligence Readiness (TAIR) for professional development (lifelong learning and capacity development) and professional activities (teaching and learning-related activities). It aims to assess what teacher AI readiness framework exists from 2020 to 2025 and how these frameworks have supported teachers in defining their’ personal indicators of TAIR. Data will be gathered from Estonia and Ghana to inform TAIR. Furthermore, the project seeks to explore relevant AI tools and resources related to TAIR through which customised training to enhance AI competence among teachers could be developed to bridge the gap between technology advancements and teaching and teacher needs. The project is targeting the following key deliverables: i) developing a framework (customised TAIR) and application that will help in measuring AI readiness, ii) exploring or creating a repository of AI tools and resources for easy access, and iii) creating a training module to support teacher professional capacity development around AI competence and application in teaching and learning scenarios.
