This study examined the experiences and perceptions of 25 pre-service teachers who participated in the design of an LLM-based English item generator for the Elementary Teacher Certification Examination. During the one-hour practicum, all participants successfully created a functioning generator. Most participants (88%) rated the development difficulty as “moderate” or “(very) easy,” indicating that most users could develop the tool, provided that appropriate training support is offered. Participants largely reported positive perceptions of item quality. Of these, 86% said the items were “usable with minor edits” or “good,” and negative views were rare. Open-ended responses were used to identify the various applications. The reported limitations included ambiguous answer options, incomplete concept specifications, simplified item patterns, occasional system instability, and inaccuracies in fine-grained distinctions. Participants viewed the tool as being best suited for short-answer and cloze formats. Overall, this LLM-based practicum is an efficient supplemental resource for preparing for the Elementary Teacher Certification Examination. This provides a practical means of developing prompt literacy and fostering broader digital and AI literacy in pre-service and in-service teacher education programs.
