Ltd.10.26689/jcer.v9i11.13026ArticleExploration and Research on the Application of Artificial Intelligence Technology in the “4 + 1” Teaching Practicum of Normal Studentshttps://artdesignp.com/journal/JCER/9/11/10.26689/jcer.v9i11.13026LiuFei,GuChunbao,ZhaoNa20259112025-12-12The General Secretary pointed out that “artificial intelligence is an important driving force for the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, and will have a profound impact on the global economic and social development and the progress of human civilization” [1]. With the in-depth advancement of China’s education reform, the training model for pre-service teachers has also ushered in changes. Based on the innovative “4 + 1” on-site (teaching) practicum for pre-service teachers at a university in Jiangsu Province, this study explores the application of artificial intelligence technology in the “4 + 1” on-site (teaching) practicum process for pre-service teachers. By using artificial intelligence technology to assist teaching design, conduct classroom behavior analysis, and generate teaching reflections, this study aims to enhance the personalization and effectiveness of pre-service teachers’ internships. This research is intended to provide certain references for empowering normal education practice with artificial intelligence technology, and has positive significance for promoting the digital transformation of teacher education.
