From AI-Generated Lesson Plans to the Real-Life Classes: Explored by Pre-Service Teachers

Abstract

[EN] ChatGPT is a powerful Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology that has the potential to revolutionize the way we study in education. It can be used in a variety of ways and we, on the other hand, focused on senior pre-service teachers’ designing a mathematics lesson plan to implement in primary schools. Four voluntary participants attended, as half of which designed a mathematical task by asking AI while the rest used traditional methods in planning the task. In the next breath, participants implemented their lesson plans in a public school and collected the data relating to tasks they used. At the end, we compare the outcomes concerning the lesson plan and implementation in schools, and determine the strengths and weaknesses of each approach. This research offers valuable insights into using ChatGPT in teacher education to be used in practice and considering the teachers’ task designing role in classrooms with and without ChatGPT.
