Abstract
This panel delves into vital conversation about Generative AI's impact on teaching and teacher education. We invite the audience to actively participate in a debate on how, when and why Generative AI should or could be used in teaching - both in schools and in teacher education. The Panelists will lead thoughtful and provocative points and counterpoints to the central tenet of whether AI is enhancing or eroding the creative function of teaching and teacher education — e.g., is AI a catalyst for enhancing creativity in teaching, or does it pose a threat to innovation? Creativity is central to effective teaching, and it involves developing solutions that are not only novel and effective but also holistic and contextually relevant (Henriksen, Mishra & Mehta, 2015). However, the advent of Generative AI introduces new dimensions to this creative landscape. Generative AI is already being used to support the development of materials, activities, assessments and even teacher judgments. Our panelists will explore diverse perspectives on how Generative AI may influence the creative autonomy of educators, authenticity of content, and personalization of learning experiences. We will examine the ethical implications of AI-generated content, the potential biases inherent in AI, and the balance between technological efficiency and human-centric teaching approaches. The panel and audience will ultimately decide if this may lead to a utopian or dystopian educational future.
