Integrating Generative Language Models in Lesson Planning: A Case Study

Abstract

The study explores artificial intelligence (AI) as a supportive technology in the lesson planning process of teachers, focusing on generative language models like ChatGPT. It evaluates the impact of AI on teaching strategies by comparing control and experimental groups of pre-service teachers interacting with the ChatGPT model. The aim was to create a lesson in metaphorical creativity and to understand the adaptability and effectiveness in lesson creation. Findings reveal no significant differences in pedagogical outcomes between groups, indicating that while AI offers innovative approaches, it doesn’t fundamentally alter teaching effectiveness. The study It points out the potential and challenges of AI in education, advocating for further exploration to maximize its benefits and address ethical implications. This study contributes to the ongoing discourse on leveraging AI to enrich educational practices and emphasizes the critical role of educators in adapting AI tools for teaching.
