Conference «How much science does teacher professional development need?» 

Professionalization in the digital and AI-shaped world

The ongoing digitization and the increasing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) open up a wide range of opportunities for professional development and for redesigning teaching methods and didactics. AI is present in many areas of our lives — from personalized advertising and individual recommendations to the everyday use of digital technologies.

At the same time, these developments raise significant questions: 

  • How can teachers be specifically supported through digital training and development programs?
  • What constitutes good teaching in the context of digitization and AI?
  • What skills do educators need to prepare students equitably for a world increasingly shaped by AI and digitalization?
  • Where are the opportunities, but also the limits, of digitization and AI in schools and professional development? 

The conference provides space for exchange and collective reflection on both the opportunities and challenges. It aims to connect participants from research, professional development, teacher training, politics, and school practice to discuss solutions and perspectives.  

We look forward to welcoming you! 

The conference will take place on 27 and 28 November 2025 at the University of Teacher Education St.Gallen.
