AI Literacy from Educators’ Perspectives

After understanding AI literacy from the perspective of human-design factor, this chapter presents a conceptual framework introducing an expanded view of AI literacy from educators’ perspectives. It moves beyond technological competencies and tries to identify a more holistic and broader understanding about AI literacy education. When using these novel AI tools to teach, educators need to be equipped with adequate technological literacy skills and knowledge. In this way, they can teach AI literacy and promote other digital competencies such as collaboration and communication among their students in AI-driven environments. Since teachers may not have rich technical knowledge to apply AI educational applications to facilitate their teaching. As one of the most important twenty-first-century competencies, AI literacy can be conceptualized as the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to be competitive in the twenty-first-century workforce. Teacher education and professional development should be reworked to incorporate training in teaching key digital competencies.
