Exploring the use of artificial intelligence applications by students of the practical education course at Al al-Bayt University to enhance their teaching practices

As AI increasingly impacts diverse sectors of society, its integration into educational settings, particularly in preschool classrooms, raises important questions about its impact on teaching and learning processes. This research focused on how a practicum course at Al al-Bayt University prepared pre-service teachers to use AI applications in their future classrooms. The population of the study included 2072 female students and the sample of this study was the whole population (2072 female students). Throughout the practicum course, students engaged with a variety of AI tools relevant to teaching practices. The study assessed the impact of the practicum course on pre-service teachers’ views of AI’s ability to improve teaching methodologies. By evaluating students’ projects, presentations, and feedback on the practicum course, the research sought to determine the effectiveness of the practicum course in preparing future teachers to seamlessly integrate AI into their teaching strategies. The findings may inform the design of practicum programs that aim to equip future teachers with the essential skills and knowledge to adapt to the changing educational landscape shaped by AI.
