Description
Interdisciplinary STEM instruction holds value as a pedagogical approach but presents several challenges leading to reduced confidence and I-STEM teacher self-efficacy. While GenAI is a source of issues regarding academic integrity and learning assessment, it could also be the technology necessary to help educators increase their I-STEM teacher self-efficacy and confidence to developing complex I-STEM lessons. This presentation will discuss a research plan to study the effects of GenAI on I-STEM teacher self-efficacy among preservice and in-service educators after using GenAI as a collaborator in developing I-STEM lessons.
