Poster Presentation What’s on in the Realm of AI Literacy and AI Pedagogy? A Systematic Review of Literature more

The emergence and rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) have led to significant changes in how humans live and learn (Isharyanti et al., 2025). In the field of education, it has created a need to teach people how to use it skilfully, ethically, and responsibly (European Commission & OECD, 2025; Walter, 2024). Concurrently, its use is prevalent and inevitable in today's teaching and learning processes, as more applications of AI are explored and practiced in education. Teachers in this AI era thus need to add a new set of competencies to their professional identities to address this necessity and incorporate AI into their teaching practices. However, considering the novelty of AI, many topics pertinent to teachers' competences remain unexplored. The poster aims to present the outcomes of a systematic literature review on EFL teachers' AI literacy and AI pedagogy, among other findings, a general positive attitude toward AI for pedagogical purposes. However, teachers face challenges in ensuring criticality toward AI-generated content and ethical use of AI, and in closing the AI divides in technical, financial, and infrastructure capabilities. The poster offers audiences potential topics and research gaps in the field, as well as an opportunity to discuss and collaborate with the presenter.

Presentation Exploration of Indonesian EFL Teachers AI Competency to Design a Research-Based Professional Development Program more

UNESCO’s AI competency framework for teachers (Cukurova & Miao, 2024) describes the teacher’s AI competency in five aspects: human-centred mindset, ethics of AI, AI foundations and applications, AI pedagogy, and AI for professional development. At the heart of teacher professionalism, AI pedagogy is arguably the most important aspect, as it equips teachers to integrate AI purposefully and effectively into their teaching. Several studies on the implementation of AI in teaching and learning have called for teacher training to ensure successful AI pedagogy. However, to develop competent AI pedagogical capacity, teachers need to first acquire the other four aspects outlined in the framework. A preliminary study of other aspects is necessary to develop AI pedagogy training that aligns with their current level of AI literacy. The study aimed to discover the state of Indonesian EFL teachers' AI literacy and their most pressing training needs. Through a wide-scale online survey of 578 English teachers in Indonesia, the study gained insights into the current level of teachers’ AI literacy and analysed their teacher professional development needs, which contributed to the development of research-based AI pedagogy training aligned with the field's realities.
