Implications are provided in the ensuing discussion.Qualitative FindingsFirst, we analyzed the 26 empirical studies to better understand PSTs’ perceptions of AIintegration into STEM education. This qualitative analysis focused on identifying PSTs’perceptions, experiences, and challenges in considering adopting and implementing AI withinSTEM lesson plans. The results revealed several unique themes that are summarized below.Opportunities and Concerns in AI-integrated STEM educationThe first theme that emerged was the collective agreement among PSTs for more proactive useof AI tools in teaching methodologies.

of complexity. Jonassen definedproblem solving as “a goal-directed sequence of cognitive operations” essential for everydaysituations [1-3]. In engineering courses, problem solving is a multi-step process in whichstudents need to understand the problem, determine which equations and principles are necessaryto solve the problem, devise a plan to solve the problem, execute the plan, and verify that thesolution is correct. Depending on the complexity of the problem, a problem can have one ormultiple solutions. Story problems, also known as word problems, are the most common form ofproblem solving in formal education [2, 3]. Story problems contain a quantitative problemembedded in a narrative or story.Metacognition refers to the processes used

its purpose and value is crucial. Thus, establishing how badges serve as a solution to an instructional or curricular problem must be communicated to faculty and students from the beginning of the implementation process. Additionally, the FSBPI suggests that demonstrating to faculty and students how badges can be shared externally may foster a broader understanding of their value. Finally, to guarantee the success, sustainability, and potential scalability of the badge architecture, the FSBPI recommends designing and incorporating a comprehensive evaluation and a revision plan. This plan must include instructors and teaching assistants (TA) continuous training to ensure grading consistency
