IntelligentTPACK in Practice: Design and Evidence from a ThreeWeek Teacher Preparation Module

# abstract
Rapid advances in generative AI sharpen the need for teachers to develop pedagogical and ethical capacities for AIintegrated instruction. While Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) provides a valuable framework for technology integration, it does not fully capture AIs unique complexities. This study presents an integrated iTPACK approach that extends IntelligentTPACK by adding AIascontent (iCK) and AIforprofessional development (iPD) and by threading a fivestage AIliteracy progression (Know Use Evaluate Ethics Create) within each domain, treating ethics as distributed and iterative. We designed and examined a three-week professional development module for preservice teachers using a convergent mixed-methods design. Prepost surveys (n=25 matched pairs) with a sixsubscale Integrated iTPACK instrument showed statistically significant gains across all domains (Wilcoxon, Holmadjusted; mediumtolarge effects). Qualitative analyses of lesson artifacts, decision logs, reflections, and micro-teaching documented instances of layered ethical decision-making (privacy/data governance, bias/fairness, transparency/provenance/accountability), progression along the AI literacy stages, and discipline-aligned pedagogical designs. Embedding an ethical decisionmaking checkpoint across performancebased activities made ethics visible in teacher work and coincided with more explicit safeguards and verification steps in lesson artifacts and microteaching within the module. By detailing this empirically grounded model, our study offers theoretical and practical insights for teacher educators seeking to cultivate principled GenAI-supported instruction.
