Rethinking Generative AI Literacy: An Integrative, Developmental, and Dialectical Framework for K-12 Teacher Education

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has entered classrooms faster than teachers have been prepared to use it well, producing a GenAI literacy lag in which technological diffusion outpaces educators' conceptual, pedagogical, and ethical readiness. Established AI literacy frameworks predate the widespread adoption of large language models and, while acknowledging ethics, position it as a discrete competency rather than a constitutive commitment, with equity and agency as supplementary design principles.

Adapting for AI: How elementary teachers adjust their practices for an AI-integrated curriculum

The article examines how three elementary teachers implemented a conversational AI‑based curriculum using the ToyTalk platform during a three‑week summer camp. Over 13 instructional days, teachers employed adaptive practices—repair, differentiation, translation, and balancing—to navigate tensions among technology, learners, and instruction. Their understanding of AI and instructional roles evolved throughout the camp, leading to design implications for deploying conversational AI in elementary classrooms.

The Uneven Impact of Generative AI on Student Learning: Examining the Roles of Reliance, Evaluation Literacy, and Course Policy in AI-related Courses

The study investigates how generative AI (GenAI) affects student learning in AI-related courses, using survey data from 118 students across 12 courses. Four distinct user clusters were identified—high-use, light-use, and two moderate-use groups—each showing varying benefits and reliance patterns. The research highlights that early reliance, evaluation literacy, and instructor policies significantly influence perceived academic benefits and negative impacts, underscoring the need for institutional policies to address inequities in AI use.
