Abstract

Lo studio esamina l'impatto dello sviluppo professionale mirato sulle conoscenze e la fiducia degli insegnanti nell'intelligenza artificiale (IA). 60 insegnanti della scuola secondaria hanno partecipato a una formazione sui principi, le applicazioni e l'integrazione in classe di IA. Utilizzando questionari pre-post, la ricerca ha misurato i cambiamenti nella conoscenza dei concetti di IA e le risposte affettive agli strumenti IA. I risultati mostrano miglioramenti nel gruppo di intervento su più dimensioni: conoscenza generale dell'IA, familiarità con le tecnologie, capacità di distinguere gli strumenti di IA da quelli non di IA e facilità d'uso percepita. Gli insegnanti hanno segnalato un maggiore coinvolgimento e una minore ansia riguardo all'integrazione dell'IA. I risultati dimostrano che uno sviluppo professionale strutturato che combina la comprensione concettuale con l'applicazione pratica costruisce efficacemente una competenza di base nell'IA. I risultati sottolineano la necessità di uno sviluppo professionale continuo per affrontare la rapida evoluzione delle tecnologie di IA.
