ABSTRACT

The era of artificial intelligence has put forward new requirements for the necessary literacy of teachers, and teacher trainees are the backbone of future teaching positions, so strengthening the cultivation of their AI literacy is an intrinsic need to realize the development of high quality in education. This study mainly adopts the questionnaire survey method and interview method to investigate 430 teacher trainees from H Teachers College, to understand the current status of the development of teacher trainees' artificial intelligence literacy, to clarify the existing problems and to propose corresponding enhancement strategies. The results of the study show that the level of teacher students' artificial intelligence literacy needs to be improved, specifically, the teacher students' artificial intelligence knowledge reserve is insufficient, the artificial intelligence ability is weak, and there is room for strengthening the artificial intelligence awareness. Based on this, the article puts forward the enhancement strategy of teacher trainees' artificial intelligence literacy, aiming to provide a certain reference basis for strengthening the cultivation of teacher trainees' artificial intelligence literacy.
