Abstract:In the context of rapid digital transformation, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a key technology with profound impacts on the educational ecosystem. In technical education, it is imperative that faculty members not only utilize AI but also master and co-create with it to enhance teaching quality and foster innovation capacity.

This paper presents an experimental training model aimed at empowering technical faculty with AI competencies, implemented at the Faculty of Fundamental Technical, AD-AF Academy of Vietnam. Unlike conventional, technically heavy training programs, this model is designed as a personalized journey, positioning AI as a "thinking partner" rather than a mere tool. Faculty participants were trained to use platforms such as ChatGPT, Midjourney, Claude AI, HeyGen, and Canva AI in practical scenarios including instructional design, lesson planning, and pedagogical decision-making support.

The model is grounded in three core principles: learning for immediate application, learning through authentic interaction, and learning to integrate cognition with AI tools seamlessly. Based on a pre- and post-training survey of 25 faculty members, results indicated significant improvements in technological proficiency, self-directed learning, critical thinking, and readiness to integrate AI into teaching practices.

These findings underscore the pivotal role of faculty development in advancing a modern digital education ecosystem.
