Introduction:
Artificial intelligence (AI) presents unique opportunities to enhance student learning and assessment, faculty teaching, and faculty support. Midwifery education is based on competency-based learning and AI has potential to either enhance or detract from achieving this outcome.
Methods:
We conducted a rapid scoping review guided by 3 questions aimed to explore the use of AI to facilitate competency-based education (CBE) relevant to midwifery faculty and students. A systematic database search was conducted in MEDLINE and Web of Science in December 2024. Thirty-nine articles were included in this review and published between 2021 and 2024. Data was extracted through the review software tool Covidence. The extracted data was synthesized to identify themes and subthemes.
Results:
Themes and subthemes that emerged from the literature synthesis include (1) competencies for AI use: (1a) justification for competency development, (1b) awareness of major concerns, and (1c) competencies integral for teaching and learning; (2) implications for academic investment in AI: (2a) development and research and (2b) costs; and (3) competency-based instructional design: (3a) optimization of student learning, (3b) pedagogy, and (3c) applications in teaching-learning.
Discussion:
There are compelling reasons to support faculty development of AI competencies pertaining to ethical use and understanding about the integration of AI into learning that requires modified pedagogies. AI has potential to improve student learning and competency development, but an awareness of challenges with AI is important for judicious use. Institutional support is critical for faculty development and policies that provide ethical guardrails and protection of student privacy. Midwives need to create opportunities to input discipline specific precepts into the machine learning and lead research evaluating the use and effectiveness of AI for CBE in midwifery.

E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...
