Teacher Training and Professional Development through AI-based Platforms

The rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into education has significantly transformed teacher training and professional development. While existing literature largely focuses on conceptual and policy perspectives, there is a growing need for empirical evidence examining teachers’ perceptions, competencies, and outcomes related to AI-based professional development. The present study investigates the role of AI-based platforms in enhancing teacher training, digital competence, pedagogical practices, and professional efficiency. Using a descriptive survey method, data were collected from 150 higher education and school teachers. Findings reveal that AI-based platforms significantly contribute to teachers’ professional development, instructional planning, assessment practices, and personalised learning strategies. The study underscores the importance of structured training, ethical awareness, and institutional support to maximise the benefits of AI in teacher professional development.
