literacy and TE as well as the intersection of AI and teaching. Thirty-four papers were included in the analysis.
Pre-service teachers The Aristotelian concepts episteme (theoretical-scientific knowledge), techne (practical-productive knowledge),
and phronesis (professional judgement) were used as a lens to capture implicit and explicit dimensions of
teachers’ professional knowledge. Results indicate that AI literacy is a globally emerging research topic in ed­
ucation but almost absent in the context of TE. The literature covers many different topics and draws on different
methodological approaches. Computer science and exploratory teaching approaches influence the type of
epistemic, practical, and ethical knowledge. Currently, teachers’ professional knowledge is not broadly
addressed or captured in the research. Questions of ethics are predominantly addressed as a matter of under­
standing technical configurations of data-driven AI technologies. Teachers’ practical knowledge tends to trans­
late into the adoption of digital resources for teaching about AI or the integration of AI EdTech into teaching. By
identifying several research gaps, particularly concerning teachers’ practical and ethical knowledge, this paper
adds to a more comprehensive understanding of AI literacy in teaching and can contribute to a more well-
informed AI literacy education in TE as well as laying the ground for future research related to teachers’ pro­
fessional knowledge.
