Abstract

This study explores the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in enhancing Information and Communication Technology (ICT) competence among future preschool teachers. As modern education is undergoing rapid transformations due to evolving standards and technological progress, the importance of equipping preschool teachers with ICT and AI skills is increasingly vital. The study examines the pedagogical conditions required to foster ICT competence, particularly in preschool education, and explores how AI tools can be used to improve both the professional development and teaching methods of preschool teachers. A two-group experimental design was employed, involving 102 future preschool teachers of Abai Kazakh National Pedagogical University. The experimental group incorporated AI tools into their teacher training, while the control group followed traditional methods. Pre- and post-assessments were conducted to assess the participants' digital literacy, pedagogical use of technology, and overall ICT competence. This study highlights the critical role of AI in modernizing teacher education and offers practical recommendations for integrating AI and ICT into curriculum design and teacher training programs to better prepare future preschool teachers for the challenges of modern preschool education.
