Research / Other Relevance: 7/10 3 cited 2025 paper

This paper presents CulturAIEd, an LLM-powered tool designed to help K-12 teachers adapt AI literacy curricula to students' cultural contexts using Culturally Relevant Pedagogy (CRP) principles. Through a pilot study with four teachers, the research evaluates how the tool influences teachers' confidence and ability to design culturally responsive AI literacy activities.

Culturally Relevant Pedagogy (CRP) is vital in K-12 education, yet teachers struggle to implement CRP into practice due to time, training, and resource gaps. This study explores how Large Language Models (LLMs) can address these barriers by introducing CulturAIEd, an LLM tool that assists teachers in adapting AI literacy curricula to students' cultural contexts. Through an exploratory pilot with four K-12 teachers, we examined CulturAIEd's impact on CRP integration. Results showed CulturAIEd enh
