Summary:

The significant transformations in modern education not only provide opportunities to enhance teaching quality but also pose numerous challenges, requiring teachers to continuously improve their knowledge and technological skills. Using a synthesis and analysis of existing literature, this paper examines the development of artificial intelligence (AI) in education and assesses its impact on teacher training and competency development. By consolidating various AI training models and application skills implemented globally, the paper proposes an AI competency framework for teachers, emphasizing adherence to professional ethical standards, including data security, student privacy, fairness in assessment, and transparency in the use of learning data. Additionally, the paper offers an in-depth analysis of the challenges and successes in integrating AI into education, providing recommendations to enhance the effectiveness, sustainability, and humanity of AI applications in teacher training. Through these insights, this study aims to contribute to the development of a digitalized educational environment that is both modern and rooted in core ethical values.
