The accelerated integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education poses new challenges for teacher training and assessment.
This study presents the design, validation, and psychometric analysis of the AI-ED-SAT questionnaire, a self-assessment tool designed for teachers to diagnose their level of preparedness in the pedagogical, ethical, and curricular use of AI.
The AI‑ED‑SAT questionnaire was validated within the Design‑Based Research approach. It comprises four dimensions aligned with UNESCO’s (2024a, 2024b) current AI competency frameworks: conceptual understanding of AI, pedagogical use of intelligent tools, ethical and critical reflection, and curricular integration.
Its construction was based on an exhaustive theoretical review and an iterative validation process using the Delphi method with 12 experts in educational technology, AI, and teacher training. Subsequently, in a pilot test involving a sample of 128 teachers from various educational levels, the reliability (Cronbach’s α = 0.93), content validity, and construct validity were analyzed.
The results of the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) confirmed the grouping of items into four theoretical factors, while the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) showed excellent fit indices (CFI = 0.96; RMSEA = 0.045). The AI‑ED‑SAT is a robust and up‑to‑date tool that is useful in both research and teacher training programs.
Its self-reflective approach helps strengthen teachers’ critical literacy and professional agency in the face of the challenges posed by AI in education.
