This study aimed (1) to develop an enhancement program to promote AI-TPACK competency among computer science student teachers and (2) to examine the effectiveness of the program through an action research approach. The study adopted a mixed-methods action research design conducted over three iterative cycles. The participants were 35 second-year computer science student teachers enrolled at Guangxi College for Preschool Education during the 2025 academic year. Research instruments included an AI-TPACK enhancement program, a rubric-based AI-TPACK competency assessment, and structured classroom observation forms. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative data were analyzed through thematic analysis. The results revealed a progressive improvement in students’AI-TPACK competency across the three cycles, with overall performance increasing from a needs-improvement level in the first cycle to a good level in the final cycle. Notable gains were observed in both foundational and integrative AI-TPACK components, as well as in educational readiness for AI. The findings demonstrate that a structured, practice-oriented enhancement program implemented through action research can effectively develop AI-TPACK competency among preservice computer science teachers. This study contributes practical evidence for integrating AI-TPACK development into teacher education through iterative, reflective instructional design.  \nKeywords: AI, TPACK, teacher education, computer science teachers  \n1. Introduction  \nRapid advances in digital technology and artificial intelligence (AI) have fundamentally transformed educational contexts, particularly in computer science education (Gleisner Villasmil, 2024; Sanusi et al., 2024; Wang et al., 2024) . Computer science teachers are no longer expected merely to possess technical knowledge of programming or hardware systems; rather, they are required to integrate technological tools meaningfully into pedagogy and curriculum to support effective learning outcomes (Kalniņa et al., 2024; Slimi, 2023) . In this context, the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework has emerged as a critical model for understanding the complex knowledge base required of contemporary teachers.  \nTPACK emphasizes the dynamic interaction among content knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, and technological knowledge, highlighting that effective teaching occurs when these domains are coherently integrated rather than treated as isolated competencies (Chai et al., 2013; M. J. Koehler et al., 2014; M. Koehler & Mishra, 2009) . For computer science teachers, this integration is especially vital. Unlike many subject areas, computer science evolves rapidly, with frequent changes in software, programming environments, digital platforms, and emerging technologies such as AI, data analytics, and automation (Doukakis & Papalaskari, 2019) . Consequently, computer science teachers must continuously adapt instructional strategies and technological tools to ensure that learning remains relevant, authentic, and aligned with real-world practices.  \nIn the current era, the role of computer science teachers ha","cbCaic4ow95C41XG","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaic4ow95C41XG","pdf",161817,"English","# Introduction\n## TPACK as an Educational Framework\n## Role Expansion of Computer Science Teachers\n## Importance of AI-TPACK in Teacher Education","[{\"question\":\"What was the main goal of the enhancement program in the study?\",\"answer\":\"To develop an enhancement program that promotes AI-TPACK competency among computer science student teachers.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the program evaluated?\",\"answer\":\"Through mixed-methods action research conducted over three iterative cycles using rubric-based competency assessment and structured classroom observations.\"},{\"question\":\"What were the key outcomes of the program?\",\"answer\":\"Students’ AI-TPACK competency improved progressively across the three cycles, with overall performance increasing from a needs-improvement level to a good level, including gains in foundational and integrative components.\"}]","Development of an Enhancement Program to Promote AI-TPACK Competency for Computer Science Student Teachers | PDF",1792043015,23]
