The Department of Eduction has together with Linköping University received funding to study Artificial Intelligence (AI) literacy in the context of Swedish teacher education with a focus on teacher educators’ professional development.
This research proposal focuses on how Teacher Education can provide teacher students with the professional competency needed for their future working lives, where Artificial Intelligent (AI) systems using machine learning are expected to play a more central role in everyday school practice.
This entails establishing evidence and good practice in Teacher Education concerning the design and evaluation of content, pedagogy, technology, and ethics for teaching sustainable AI literacy.
This aim is addressed by two research questions:
Answering these questions will provide the scientific foundation necessary both to understand what AI literacy in Teacher Education is and how to design and evaluate methods for teaching AI literacy in Swedish Teacher Education. This is essential for  educating teachers on scientific grounds, a profession that already includes cooperation with AI systems.
