AI Literacy in Teacher Education in the Czech Republic

Original language description

The development of artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming education systems worldwide, including those in the Czech Republic. This paper assesses the level of AI literacy among teachers and its integration into the Czech education system. The aim is to determine how well teachers are equipped with knowledge, skills, and understanding of AI, and how effectively they can integrate AI and AI awareness into their teaching. The methodology entails gathering data via a questionnaire survey distributed to teachers across various educational levels. The survey comprises questions that concentrate on AI literacy aspects, such as basic AI principles, the capacity to apply AI to teaching, discussing ethical issues related to AI use in the school environment, and critical thinking abilities. The questionnaire analyses the current state and challenges teachers face when integrating AI into teaching and learning practices. The results will be evaluated to identify areas where teachers' AI literacy needs strengthening and to propose strategies and recommendations for improving teacher training programmes and support. These strategies comprise teacher training, the provision of resources and support for integrating AI into the classroom, and reflection on the ethical and societal aspects of AI. It is equally important to invest in the long-term development of AI literacy among teachers as a fundamental step towards effectively harnessing the potential of AI in education and preparing students for the digital future. This article presents strategies and recommendations for the further development of AI literacy among teachers in the Czech Republic. The objective is to enhance their capacity and facilitate the more effective utilisation of AI in education.
