Exploring the Role of AI-Driven Tools in Evaluating Pedagogical Competencies

Abstract

This chapter aims to evaluate the pre-service teacher education curriculum at the secondary level with the integration of technology. The study uses a mixed-methods approach, including surveys, interviews, and document analysis, to gather data from pre-service teachers, teacher educators, and educational experts. The study evaluates the effectiveness of the current curriculum in preparing pre-service teachers for the demands of teaching in a digital age, and explores the potential benefits and challenges of integrating technology in teacher education. The study also assesses the attitudes, beliefs, and perceptions of pre-service teachers towards technology and their level of technology integration in their teaching practice. The findings of the study provide insights into the strengths and weaknesses of the current pre-service teacher education curriculum at the secondary level and the potential benefits and challenges of integrating technology in teacher education.
