In the AI era: what happens to Elementary school teachers (excluding special education)
AI對小學教師的核心教學與關懷職責替代有限，但大量行政、文檔生成與作業批改任務將被自動化，入門級崗位因AI工具普及而縮減，職業整體面臨中等壓縮風險。

AI工具能自動生成教案、出題、批改標準化作業、管理學生數據，並輔助互動課件製作，使得初級教師或助教的重複性工作被大幅替代，學校更偏向僱傭少量高技能教師搭配AI工具，入門崗位減少。
小學教師應主動掌握教育AI工具，從知識傳授者轉型為學習設計師與成長導師。可深耕特殊教育、課程研發或教育科技協調等方向，同時強化情感溝通、創意活動設計等人類優勢，利用AI騰出的時間專注學生個性化關懷，提升不可替代性。
