Being a Teacher in the Era of Artificial Intelligence—Challenges and Opportunities

Dear Colleagues,

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform education, reshape teaching practices, and redefine the role of educators. This Special Issue invites contributions that explore the multifaceted impact of AI on teaching, learning, and professional development. It seeks to foster critical dialogue on how teachers can navigate the opportunities and challenges of AI, ensuring that technology enhances education while preserving the centrality of human judgment and interaction. We encourage submissions from researchers and practitioners and interdisciplinary perspectives that advance the understanding of teaching in the era of AI. Specifically, we welcome research, conceptual analyses, and case studies addressing topics such as

• The integration of AI tools in classrooms and online learning environments;
• Opportunities for personalized learning and innovative pedagogies;
• Challenges related to teacher roles, ethics, data privacy, and digital equity;
• Professional development and teacher education in AI-augmented contexts;
• Implications of AI for assessment, student engagement, and curriculum and instructional design.
