TL;DR

This Working Group will first identify a concise set of GenAI literacy learning objectives informed by instructor experience, research literature, and community input, and subsequently design pedagogical resources aligned with these objectives.

Abstract

The widespread adoption of Generative AI (GenAI) tools by students across different educational levels highlights the need for them to develop robust GenAI literacy, including a working understanding of these systems' fundamental concepts, their limitations, and implications for responsible use. However, misconceptions about GenAI, such as perceiving these systems as mere search engines or database lookup systems, are commonly observed among students, while the availability of teaching resources remains fragmented, and learning objectives lack alignment. This Working Group aims to design pedagogical resources for computing science instructors, enabling them to develop students' GenAI literacy. To achieve this, the Working Group will first identify a concise set of GenAI literacy learning objectives informed by instructor experience, research literature, and community input, and subsequently design pedagogical resources aligned with these objectives.

Pedagogical prompting rather than technical mastery: Generative AI use by English and English-medium instruction teachers

The Pedagogical Prompting Feedback Cycle is offered as a teacher-oriented way of translating existing instructional expertise into AI-supported practice and presented as a tentative conceptual model rather than a validated framework: it is meant to provoke inquiry and design, and it requires empirical validation across...

Anchored in the Learner: A Critical Review of AI Discourse in Design Education

It is argued that students' needs matter on their own, the field should start from what students need when deciding how to use AI in design education, and good educational frameworks should be anchored in the learner, not driven by technology.
