ABSTRACT
The rising topic of artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly popular in secondary schools. Due to the recent integration of AI into various school curricula, the topic is gaining more and more importance in Computer Science (CS) Education Research as well. However, prospective CS secondary school teachers hold pre-existing beliefs on AI in school and its relevance. These beliefs thus affect students’ beliefs in the future. In this context, this upcoming research project aims to find an applicable and comprehensive design approach to identify the explicit (i.e. conscious) and implicit (i.e. unconscious) CS student teachers’ beliefs on AI in secondary schools. As a long-term study, the first steps of the process of determining beliefs on AI are described, and ideas for the research design are elaborated.
