In the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI), it is important to discuss how a teacher support system based on AI affects the teachers. Intelligent edutab is one of the teacher support systems based on AI to support teachers by monitoring the ever-changing learning status of learners. In this study, we interviewed one teacher who practiced using intelligent edutab. Moreover, a questionnaire was administered to the graduate students who visited the class. The results suggest that the output of AI in intelligent edutab could support teachers’ discernment. On the other hand, the importance of teachers’ ability to discern the learner and the learning situation without relying on AI was also suggested. Moreover, there is a possibility that the use of learner support systems based on AI can serve as an on-the-job training for teachers to support reflection in their daily classroom practice, and enhance their professionalism.
