Research on the use of AI in teacher training presented at EDULEARN 2025

@Vocational Education with a Focus on Technology Didactics

At the international conference EDULEARN 2025 in Palma, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Matthias Haack (University of Kassel) and M.Sc. Alison Klein (Technische Universität Dresden) presented the results of their joint action research project entitled "Fostering AI Competence in Future Vocational School Teachers in the Fields of Mechanical, Electrical and Vehicle Engineering".

The study focused on the considered use of AI-supported tools in didactic courses. The starting point was the observation that prospective teachers either use artificial intelligence uncritically or view it with considerable skepticism. The aim of the project was to analyze how student teachers' beliefs about AI tools change when they are used specifically and didactically embedded in the seminar. The focus was particularly on the phenomena of "overtrust" (excessive trust) and aversion (aversion) to artificial intelligence. In the seminar, factual analyses with and without the use of AI tools were compared and automated feedback on learning and work tasks was critically reflected on by the students. The results provide valuable impulses for the sensible use of AI in the training of future vocational school teachers.
