AHFE Open AccessExamining the Impact of AI on Schema and Scaffolding in Educator Preparation
Abstract
Artificial Intelligence is disrupting the educational landscape and is being touted as a catalyst for enhanced learning. This article examines the use of AI as a scaffolding tool to help preservice teachers build new knowledge and skills. It explores how this use of AI impacts their schemas, the mental structures that support learning. When used as a collaborator, AI might allow developing teachers to create more sophisticated and well-structured lesson plans earlier in their training, leading to a more robust and nuanced schema. However, over-reliance on AI could lead to a less developed, or "brittle," schema, preventing the preservice teacher from fully internalizing the underlying principles of instructional design.
