GRAITE - the Graduate School for AI and Teacher Education
GRAITE, the Graduate School for AI and Teacher Education, is a national research school led by Mittuniversitetet. It brings together nine Swedish universities in an interdisciplinary collaboration focused on how artificial intelligence is shaping the content, practices, and values of teacher education.
As generative and adaptive AI technologies increasingly influence education, there is a growing need for research that explores how these tools affect the competencies of student teachers, the work of teacher educators, and the democratic mission of schools. The research school draws on frameworks such as TPACK, emphasizing the interplay between technology, pedagogy, and subject content in AI-influenced educational contexts. Key areas of inquiry include how AI is integrated into subject didactics, how ethical and policy-related challenges are addressed, and how digital autonomy and critical awareness can be supported. Building on the legacy of previous research schools, GRAITE aims to strengthen both research and teacher education in a time of rapid technological change.
