AI4T National Evaluation Report - France
Résumé
This report presents a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the impact of the AI4T – artificial intelligence for and by teachers – professional learning pathway in France.
The first sections introduce the AI4T professional learning pathway, and outline the project’s experimental design, i.e. participant selection and randomisation procedures, theoretical frameworks used for assessment, and evaluation instruments. This is followed by a description of the sample. Finally, issues pertaining to the experiment's internal and external validity are addressed.
Presentation of the findings is organised in three sections, (i) teachers, (ii) school leaders, and (iii) students. A greater focus is given to the teacher sample as teachers are considered the main target of the AI4T project. After detailing their reactions to the professional learning pathway, the report discusses the three main outcomes of the experiment, namely teachers’ knowledge of AI, their perceptions of AI, and their use of AI. Both the initial state and the impact of the intervention are presented for each outcome. In addition, we provide a discussion of the differential impact of the intervention across teachers. Indeed, differences were found to relate to teachers’ engagement with the MOOC, teachers’ self efficacy for integrating technology in the classroom, and teachers’ course subjects.
A final section highlights takeaways which are likely to inform future AI-based educational policies. The section focuses on the specific needs in terms of professional learning, tool development and ethical safeguards.
