Development of Teachers’ Pedagogical Competence in the Context of Integrating Artificial Intelligence into the Educational Process

Abstract

This article explores the development of teachers’ pedagogical competence in the context of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into the educational process. It examines the transformative role of AI in education, the challenges and opportunities for teacher professional development, and the ethical considerations of AI integration. Drawing on a comprehensive literature review and empirical studies, the paper proposes a framework for enhancing teachers’ competencies through the lens of an AI-augmented Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (AI-TPACK) model. The findings highlight the need for targeted professional development programs that empower teachers to leverage AI effectively, ensuring alignment with pedagogical goals and ethical standards. Recommendations are provided for policymakers, educators, and institutions to foster sustainable AI integration in education.
