Abstract
The development of Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) has transformed how teachers access information and make professional decisions. However, overreliance on AI-generated outputs without critical evaluation may reduce cognitive effort and increase the risk of using inaccurate information. This study aimed to (1) examine the components of teacher’ critical intelligence skills in using Gen AI and (2) develop and validate a scale to assess these skills. This study employed a developmental research design using both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The sample consisted of 538 teachers from private schools in Thailand with at least one year of teaching experience, selected through multistage sampling. The research instrument was the self-report Likert-scale questionnaire, namely the Critical Intelligence Inventory for Teachers in the Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (CI-GAI), developed from the synthesis of the concepts of critical thinking, intelligence, and critical intelligence. Content validity was verified by five experts, and the instrument was pilot-tested before the main data collection. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with LISREL. The results indicated that the construct comprises six components with 41 indicators: Analytical reasoning, Metacognition, Cognitive adaptability, Ethical decision-making, Epistemic awareness, and Cultural intelligence. The scale demonstrated acceptable psychometric properties, and the second-order CFA showed a good model fit with the empirical data, confirming the validity of the developed scale.
