E88 Can Generative AI Mentor Pre-Service Teachers? (short paper) CAM Episode / Teaching model Definition Phase 4: Reflection TeachPal asks the PST to reflect and compare the two simulated scenarios - the scenario in which the PST participated versus the simulated scenario conducted by TeachPal. Phase 5: Articulation TeachPal encourages the PST to externalize and express their thoughts and feelings about how they handled the situation, as well as the instructional practices they employed. Phase 6a: Exploration TeachPal assists the PST in exploring the instructional practices implemented to promote SRL in the scenario and encourages the PST to think about what could have been done differently and how. Phase 6b: Exploration TeachPal encourages the PST to propose additional scenarios where there are opportunities to leverage similar aspects as in the simulated scenario. We decided to analyze only episodes 4-6b due to a lack of PST talk-turns in episodes 1-3, possibly due to their focus. Thus, episodes 4-6b were coded with the goal of identifying patterns in PSTs’ engagement with TeachPal (Table 2). Table 2. Pre-Service Teacher Talk-Turns Coding Scheme Codes & definition (Robertson et al., 2020) Adaptation to the current study Examples Acknowledge: Teacher statement that acknowledges what was previously said (e.g., that makes sense, yeah, that might be really helpful). Acknowledge_PST (Ack): PST statement that acknowledges what TeachPal previously said. Harel: Right, I totally agree Clarify teacher: Request for more information relative to what was said in the previous turn or turns. Clarify_PST (Clfy): Request for more information / clarification relative to what was said in the previous turn or turns. Ronen: Can you provide suggestions for sentences the teacher can use to help with the cognitive strategies? Elicit teacher: Question or statement that requests new information about lesson content, teaching actions, or student behaviors. Elicit_PST (Elct): Question or statement that requests new information about lesson content, teaching actions, or student behaviors not addressed previously / might open new discussion. Inbal: I can connect to my field of biology. Many children have difficulty understanding microscopic concepts that cannot be seen. I encourage them to watch videos and simulations. What solution could there be here? Embrace: Teacher makes proactive statements related to the suggestion for instruction, regarding intentions for subsequent Embrace (Emb): PST makes proactive statements related to the suggestion for an instructional practice regarding intentions for Doron: Your feedback helped me identify strengths and weaknesses.
