The Role of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Technologies in Developing Infographic Competence of Future Teachers: Theoretical Foundations and Integration Methodology
Abstract
This article examines the problem of developing infographic competence in future primary school teachers within the framework of modern digital pedagogy. Infographic competence is defined as a four-component cyclic structure: cognitive-epistemological, practical-technological, methodological-pedagogical, and creative-reflective. The specific pedagogical role of artificial intelligence tools (Canva Magic Design, Piktochart AI, Gamma.app, ChatGPT) is identified for each component. The theoretical foundation of the study consists of the DigCompEdu framework, the TPACK model, and R. Mayer’s multimedia learning theory. The article proposes a three-stage competence development pathway and provides practical recommendations for integration into higher education curricula. The research directly aligns with the “Digital Uzbekistan – 2030” strategy and state decisions on reforming pedagogical education in the Republic of Uzbekistan.
