STAGES OF TRAINING FUTURE TEACHERS IN THE ERA OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Artificial intelligence (AI) is designed to create intelligent systems capable of performing tasks that are traditionally dependent on human intelligence. Its integration into the field of education is rapidly expanding, while creating both opportunities and challenges. Preparing teachers for this rapidly evolving technological change is critical to success, as education itself is not static. This position paper uses a methodology to synthesize the existing literature on innovative strategies for integrating AI into the training of Future Teachers. This paper presents the concept of Future Teachers, which addresses the challenges associated with the potential of AI to replace teachers. This article recognizes the role of teachers in providing emotional and moral support to students, as well as in developing critical thinking. It explores in detail the importance of AI for the effective use of AI in teaching and learning processes. Based on a literature review, strategies for training future teachers in the era of artificial intelligence can be implemented by adopting approaches such as developing artificial intelligence literacy, integrating artificial intelligence into teacher training courses, encouraging collaborative learning among teachers, offering lifelong learning opportunities, and fostering a positive attitude towards the use of artificial intelligence. The article proposes, among others, that future teachers should receive basic training on the use of artificial intelligence in teaching and learning processes within the framework of teacher training programs offered by teacher training institutions.
