Key Findings
Quasi-experimental study with 95 preservice teachers over 10 weeks. QUEST+AI model (Question, Understand, Engage, Solve, Teach) integrated with coached GenAI use. Experimental group showed higher overall AI literacy (largest gains in AI application, problem-solving, and emotion regulation). Also earned higher research proposal scores (partial ฮทยฒ=.137). Structured AI coaching can build AI literacy while improving discipline-relevant performance.
