TPACK-AI Framework: Guidelines for Developing Thai Teacher Skills in the Artificial Intelligence Era
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
The arrival of artificial intelligence significantly influences the education system, especially the role of teachers who must adapt to work effectively with technology. Teacher skill development, therefore, is not just about learning how to use tools but involves a comprehensive growth covering knowledge, pedagogy, and technology. This article aims to
1) analyze the roles and limitations of artificial intelligence in teaching and learning within the Thai context; 2) identify essential skills for Thai teachers in the age of artificial intelligence; and 3) introduce the TPACK-AI framework and guidelines for systematically developing Thai teacher skills. The findings show that AI serves three primary roles: as a teacher assistant, a learning enhancement tool, and a knowledge source. However, there are limitations related to data accuracy, ethics, and disparities within the Thai context. Teachers need to develop skills in five areas: Technology, Pedagogy, Content, Ethics, and Socio-emotional skills. The article introduces the TPACK-AI framework, which expands the original TPACK into seven dimensions. It offers guidelines for teacher skill development at four levels: individual, school, policy, and teacher education institutions. This aims to help Thai teachers effectively and sustainably integrate artificial intelligence into instruction.
