This qualitative study addresses GenAI integration challenges for Caribbean Science educators.It investigates teacher pedagogical preparedness and training access, highlighting a significant gap in resource constraint environments. Employing an inductive thematic approach, data from peer reviewed and grey Caribbean literature provided culturally authentic insights. Four themes emerged from the analysis: 1) Efficacious Teachers Embody AI Literacy and Competency Skills 2) Shaping Teacher Disposition and Competency: The Influence of Educational Policy; 3)Adapting Professional Development Models for GenAI Integration for STEM Teachers in Resource Constrained Environment is Elusive and 4) Using Mixed Method Research for GenAI Professional Development Intervention Assessment.
