Values in Tension: Mathematics Teacher Educator’s Decisions on Generative AI
Page: 1159
This analytic autoethnography preliminary report examines how early-career mathematics teacher educators (MTEs) make decisions about if and how to use generative AI (GenAI) in alignment with their values. Using reflective journals and group discussions, with Value-Sensitive Design, our analysis highlights three themes in GenAI use: preserving autonomy and creativity, protecting human elements of our job while viewing GenAI as a supplemental tool, and managing institutional pressures. This work highlights values-based perspectives informing the broader understanding of MTE GenAI decision making.
