Focus on AI and Teacher Education in Macao: Issues, Challenges and Innovations in Higher Education

Like in many other parts of the world, the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has profoundly impacted all aspects of higher education in Macao, including university-level teacher education for both pre-service and in-service teachers. In this webinar, the speaker intends to examine and discuss the issues and opportunities that AI—especially generative AI—brings to teaching and learning for teachers at the classroom and school levels, as well as the challenges it poses for university-level teacher education, with a focus on Macao’s educational context. The speaker will also share his experiences and reflections on how university education can address the challenges through innovative, multi-facet measures, which include, among others, offering faculty professional development programmes at the university level, integrating AI into existing university courses to transform teaching and learning practices, and providing a systematic and diverse range of new pre-service and in-service training programmes for school teachers and practitioners.

This webinar is part of a series under the theme AI and Higher Education: Reflections and Experiences in the Greater China Region.
