A synthesis of AI literacy competencies aimed at education: An umbrella review and research world café approach.

Abstract

:

Artificial intelligence (AI) will play a significant role in the future of education, which will require users to be AI literate. At present, there are a variety of AI literacy frameworks available to educators and students, but no clear consensus on the competencies needed to be considered AI literate. This study aimed to identify AI literacy competencies by synthesising findings from international literature and insights from Dutch stakeholders. An umbrella review was conducted to extract AI literacy competencies deemed important for educators and students by extracting information from 15 articles. Findings were complimented with practitioner and student insights collected during world research cafés conducted at a Dutch university. The study identified knowledge (e.g., limitations of AI), attitude (e.g., confidence), skill (e.g., system thinking), and ethics (e.g., bias) as core competencies which are supported by a subset that can be added to customise and adjust the learning to the context or learning environment. The findings contribute to the development of more comprehensive and context-driven AI literacy frameworks for education.
