Abstract
How schoolteachers integrate generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) into their teaching remains underexplored. This case study of 22 teachers from Guangdong delineates four GenAI user types, i.e., cautious adapters, efficiency enhancers, technology enthusiasts, and pedagogical innovators; groups teachers’ GenAI integration into five levels, from low to high; and examines how transformation of GenAI integration is influenced by individual, technological, and environmental factors. These findings extend the Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition (SAMR) model into PSAMR – the “P” stands for “Prohibition” – emphasizing GenAI’s dynamic, controversial nature. They also indicate that, during integration, educators should focus more on human factors than on tools’ functionalities.
期刊介绍:
Teaching and Teacher Education is an international journal concerned primarily with teachers, teaching, and/or teacher education situated in an international perspective and context. The journal focuses on early childhood through high school (secondary education), teacher preparation, along with higher education concerning teacher professional development and/or teacher education. Teaching and Teacher Education is a multidisciplinary journal committed to no single approach, discipline, methodology, or paradigm. The journal welcomes varied approaches (qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods) to empirical research; also publishing high quality systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Manuscripts should enhance, build upon, and/or extend the boundaries of theory, research, and/or practice in teaching and teacher education.
