Systematic Literature Review Protocol - Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence in Secondary Science Education and Teacher Training

This document presents the protocol for a mixed methods systematic literature review that investigates the use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in Science Education and Teacher Training. The sistematic literature review aims to study existing empirical literature (journal articles and book chapters) to understand the theoretical foundations and practices related to GenAI integration in education across years 7 to 12, emphasising science education and teacher training. The focus is on whether and how educational stakeholders (students, teachers, future teachers and teacher educators) are using GenAI for learning and teaching science. This review includes quantitative, qualitative, and mixed method studies, grounded in the epistemological premise that integrating diverse methods enhances the depth and contextual relevance of findings.
