Abstract

Recent research underscores the vital role of English teachers in AI-assisted English teaching, yet elementary and secondary school English teachers' digital literacy using ChatGPT for instruction remains largely unexplored. This present research attempted to construct and validate a measurement to evaluate K-12 English teachers' ChatGPT-based digital literacy (ETCDL), addressing the lack of instruments that consider the unique features of English instruction at the primary and secondary schools and the characteristics of ChatGPT-assisted instruction. Drawing on the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge framework, the Theory of Planned Behaviour, as well as the Digital Literacy of Teachers framework, this research contained 288 Chinese prospective and in-service English instructors. Psychometric analysis, involving confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling, validated the reliable 19-item ETCDL scale with four dimensions. The ETCDL scale provides researchers and educators with an effective tool to assess K-12 English teachers' digital literacy in ChatGPT-enhanced contexts, with domain- and context-specific items.

基于chatgpt的K-12英语教师数字素养：规模开发与验证

最近的研究强调了英语教师在人工智能辅助英语教学中的重要作用，但中小学英语教师使用ChatGPT进行教学的数字素养在很大程度上仍未得到探索。本研究试图构建并验证一种评估K-12英语教师基于chatgpt的数字素养（ETCDL）的测量方法，以解决缺乏考虑中小学英语教学独特性和chatgpt辅助教学特征的工具的问题。利用技术教学内容知识框架、计划行为理论和教师数字素养框架，本研究包含288名中国未来和在职英语教师。心理测量分析包括验证性因子分析和结构方程模型，验证了具有四个维度的19项ETCDL量表的可靠性。ETCDL量表为研究人员和教育工作者提供了一个有效的工具来评估K-12英语教师在chatgpt增强的背景下的数字素养，包括特定领域和特定背景的项目。
