The project aims to enhance the understanding and effective integration of generative AI primarily in secondary education by evaluating real-world AI usage. It seeks to provide best practices to use and self-implement AI tools that empower teachers to leverage AI ethically and effectively, fostering digital literacy, AI competency, and innovative teaching methods. It aims to be accessible for a wide audience by providing online material and hybrid events.

Our data and results are going to be based on a large-scale pilot study with 100+ teachers using ChatGPT-based tools. Our mixed methods study design covers interviews, surveys, and computational analyses. We will develop and deliver teacher training workshops, create teaching materials, and design customizable AI tools for lecturers, as well as guidelines how to do so.

The project will produce evidence-based insights into AI's role in education, best practices for its use, unveil limitations, provide teacher training materials, and AI tools for lecturers. As we integrate our findings into teaching teachers, the benefits will be long-term and communicated through the next generation (as well as existing) teachers to children. These outcomes will support ongoing digital literacy and AI integration, benefiting teachers, students, and educational institutions.
