Empowering students with AI literacy: a scoping review on promising pedagogical approaches in post-secondary education

Abstract

As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly integrated into society, AI literacy has emerged as a critical competency. Post-secondary students, in particular, need to be prepared to use, understand, and evaluate AI technologies through a critical lens as they navigate evolving AI-driven landscapes. However, research related to how AI literacy is developed at the post-secondary level is currently underexplored. This scoping review examines current teaching and learning strategies that support post-secondary students’ AI literacy development. The findings highlight promising instructional approaches that can be used to inform future AI literacy interventions and reveal gaps in the current literature that warrant further exploration.
