Open Educational Resources (OERs) are key to promoting access and inclusion. Despite the EU recognizing their importance for educational innovation, OER adoption remains limited. This study explores ENCORE, a tool for undergraduate and prospective teachers to foster open education by enhancing pedagogical knowledge and values. Combining AI-driven tools to retrieve relevant OERs, ENCORE supports course design addressing challenges like digitalization, climate change, and postCOVID economic recovery. Two project-based workshops on ENCORE (N=64) showed significant prepost gains in OER knowledge and practices (p<.001). Moreover, the UTAUT scale findings highlight performance expectation and behavioral intention as key factors, confirming ENCORE’s validity for teacher training to embrace an open educational perspective.

Abstract
Open Educational Resources (OERs) are key to promoting access and inclusion. Despite the EU recognizing their importance for educational innovation, OER adoption remains limited. This study explores ENCORE, a tool for undergraduate and prospective teachers to foster open education by enhancing pedagogical knowledge and values. Combining AI-driven tools to retrieve relevant OERs, ENCORE supports course design addressing challenges like digitalization, climate change, and postCOVID economic recovery. Two project-based workshops on ENCORE (N=64) showed significant prepost gains in OER knowledge and practices (p<.001). Moreover, the UTAUT scale findings highlight performance expectation and behavioral intention as key factors, confirming ENCORE’s validity for teacher training to embrace an open educational perspective.Pubblicazioni consigliate
