Synthesis: Le, Huynh, Dang, Pham, Nguyen, and Nguyen (2026) develop and evaluate a design-based research (DBR) intervention providing GenAI literacy training for teacher education students. Arguing that existing AI literacy programs overemphasize technical knowledge and pre-GenAI tools, the study integrates contemporary AI competency frameworks into a workshop prototype. The workshop was piloted with 14 master's students and evaluated with 29 teacher education students. Findings indicate the intervention effectively enhanced overall AI competency self-efficacy, with positive emotional responses from 87.1% of participants and shifts toward critical exploration of GenAI tools for teaching.

Key Findings

  • Design-based research produced design principles for GenAI literacy training in teacher education, addressing the gap between technical AI knowledge and pedagogical application
  • Pilot with 14 master's students followed by evaluation with 29 teacher education students showed enhanced overall AI competency self-efficacy
  • 87.1% of pilot participants expressed positive emotional responses (curiosity, inspiration, excitement); 12.9% expressed concerns about AI's societal impact
  • Half (51.1%) reported shifting perspectives about learner and teacher roles; 40% expressed intentions to critically integrate GenAI into future teaching
  • AI ethics gains shifted from significant to marginally significant, suggesting pedagogical and assessment competencies may require longer-term development
