Subclaims¶

q2 i? Across the 17 included studies, ethical concerns such as bias, transparency, privacy, authorship, and accountability surfaced consistently and were treated as cross-cutting features of GenAI-specific TPK rather than isolated topics. → Ó Ceallaigh 2026

q2 · i? · review · r2

Thematic cross-case synthesis of 17 peer-reviewed studies (2022–2025) on teacher educators' engagement with GenAI, conducted per PRISMA with a two-phase coding model. The authors report that ethical concerns "emerged consistently across studies" and were coded as cross-cutting analytical features.

"Ethical concerns, such as bias, transparency, privacy, authorship, and accountability, emerged consistently across studies and were therefore coded as cross-cutting analytical features rather than isolated topical issues."
