Pillar 5: Teaching and Learning Integration Maturity Assessment

This maturity assessment tool is designed to help educational institutions evaluate their current state of AI governance in terms of integrating AI into teaching and learning practices. The assessment covers the key components of Pillar 5 of the SAGE-AI Framework.

Who Should Participate?

This assessment should be completed by a cross-functional team including:

  • Senior academic leadership (e.g., Provost, Deans)
  • Teaching and Learning Center directors
  • Instructional designers
  • Faculty representatives from various disciplines
  • Educational technology specialists
  • AI/IT leadership
  • Student affairs representatives
  • Assessment and institutional research personnel

How to Use This Assessment

Read each question carefully and select the answer that best describes your institution's current state. Be honest in your responses to get an accurate picture of your institution's maturity level. After completing the assessment, use the scoring guide to calculate your overall maturity level for Pillar 5. If you are completing multiple pillar assessments, transfer your score into the master score sheet.

Assessment Questions

  1. Do you have an AI in Education Policy Committee to oversee AI integration in teaching and learning? (No, Partially Implemented, Fully Implemented)
  2. Have you developed an AI-Enhanced Curriculum Approval Process? (No, Partially Implemented, Fully Implemented)
  3. Is there an AI Tool Evaluation and Selection Framework for educational use? (No, Partially Implemented, Fully Implemented)
  4. Have you implemented an AI-Aware Assignment Design Framework? (No, Partially Implemented, Fully Implemented)
  5. Are there AI in Assessment Guidelines in place? (No, Partially Implemented, Fully Implemented)
  6. Have you established AI Literacy Standards for students and educators? (No, Partially Implemented, Fully Implemented)
  7. Is there an Ethical AI Use in Education Policy? (No, Partially Implemented, Fully Implemented)
  8. Have you developed AI Integration Monitoring and Reporting Methods? (No, Partially Implemented, Fully Implemented)

Scoring

For each question:

  • No = 0 points
  • Partially Implemented = 1 point
  • Fully Implemented = 2 points

Interpretation of Results

Based on your total score, your institution's maturity level can be categorized as follows:

  • Nascent Stage (0-4 points): Your institution is in the very early stages of integrating AI into teaching and learning practices. There may be some isolated instances of AI use in education, but a comprehensive approach to AI integration is largely absent. Focus on establishing an AI in Education Policy Committee and developing basic guidelines for AI use in educational contexts.
  • Emerging Stage (5-9 points): Your institution has begun to integrate AI into teaching and learning practices, but the approach is still developing. Some key components like AI tool evaluation or AI literacy standards may be in place but not fully developed or consistently applied across the institution. Work on formalizing processes, expanding AI integration efforts, and developing more comprehensive policies for AI use in education.
  • Established Stage (10-13 points): Your institution has a clear and consistent approach to integrating AI into teaching and learning practices. Most key components are in place and functioning effectively. Focus on refining these processes, ensuring they're fully integrated across all academic programs, and adapting them to address emerging challenges and opportunities in AI-enhanced education.
  • Transformative Stage (14-16 points): Your institution is at the forefront of AI integration in teaching and learning practices. AI considerations are fully embedded in curriculum development, assessment strategies, and pedagogical approaches, driving innovative educational experiences. Continue to refine and evolve your approach, potentially serving as a model for other institutions. Focus on pushing the boundaries of AI-enhanced education and contributing to the broader discourse on AI in teaching and learning.

Next Steps

Based on your assessment results:

  • Identify the areas where your institution scored lowest and prioritize these for improvement.
  • Develop action plans to address gaps in your AI integration in teaching and learning practices.
  • Set goals to progress to the next maturity stage, focusing on the key components that will help you advance.
  • Regularly reassess your maturity level to track progress and identify new areas for improvement.
  • Share best practices and lessons learned within your institution to foster a culture of innovative AI-enhanced teaching and learning.
  • Consider assessing other pillars of the SAGE-AI Framework to get a comprehensive view of your institution's AI governance maturity.
  • For institutions at the Transformative stage, explore opportunities to contribute to the broader education community's understanding of effective AI integration in teaching and learning.
