GENERATIVE INTELLIGENCE: A POSSIBLE REDEFINITION OF TEACHING AND FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT. A SURVEY AMONG TEACHER TRAINEES

Maria Vittoria Isidori, Henry Muccini, Clara Evangelista

Abstract


 

AI is transforming education, but adoption remains uneven. Among teachers (INDIRE, 2025), 52.4% use AI for language simulations and automated tests, while 14% reject it. A study of 293 teachers in Abruzzo reveals a preference for active methods, with limited advanced AI use. Strong correlations exist between role-playing/automated assessment (Rho=0.718) and problem-solving/adaptivequizzes (Rho=0.635). Learning outcomes depend on this integration, but training gaps and lack of guidelines persist.
