Abstract

This study examines the TPACK model’s factor structure to assess pre-service teachers’ readiness in J City, China, for integrating AI into their teaching practices. A survey involving 322 participants was conducted to investigate the relationships between TPACK components and their impact on competencies related to AI-enhanced teaching. The PLS-SEM analysis indicates that TK, PK, and CK significantly influence AI teaching readiness through their interactions with PCK, TPK, and TCK. Notably, TK exerts the most substantial impact on TPCK, highlighting the critical role of technological proficiency in AI-based education. Furthermore, PCK and TCK act as mediators for the effects of CK, while TPK and TCK mediate the influence of TK. This underscores the importance of integrated pedagogical and technological training. The findings suggest a need for AI-powered adaptive learning systems and immersive professional learning communities, emphasizing AI-related pedagogical strategies to enhance pre-service teachers’ digital teaching capabilities. The study also explores implications for AI-oriented teacher training and curriculum development.
