Abstract
This guide helps Primary Education student teachers use AI responsibly for university work, teaching placements, portfolios, and job seeking. It debunks myths about cheating and laziness, offering practical prompts for summarising texts, lesson planning, reflective diaries, and interview preparation. Key rules include never copying without understanding, citing AI, and keeping your own voice. A case study shows how a student teacher like Laura can apply AI to save time, plan better, and reflect meaningfully. The focus is on using AI to become a more organised, reflective, and professional teacher—not replacing your own thinking or experience.
Description
What is this guide and who is it for?
This guide explains how you, as a student teacher on the Primary Education degree, can use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve your university work, your teaching placement, and your professional development. AI will not do the work for you. But it can help you research faster, plan better, reflect deeper, and present yourself more professionally.
This guide is intended for:
• First and second year students who want to use AI responsibly for assignments and exams.
• Third and fourth year students preparing for teaching placement and their final portfolio.
• Recent graduates looking for their first teaching job or preparing for public examinations (oposiciones).
• Teacher trainers who need structured materials for workshops on AI and initial teacher education.
