GPT-based models have enabled the creation of natural language chatbots that support both Inquiry-Based and Structured Learning approaches. This study offers a direct comparison of these two paradigms within a UNIX Shell scripting course by means of two chatbots: a Lesson Plan-Driven chatbot that ensures all students cover the same topics…

Effective phonemic awareness instruction is essential for early literacy development, yet teachers often seek additional support in designing structured, engaging, and standards-aligned lesson plans. Generative AI (GenAI), such as ChatGPT Plus, is a promising tool for assisting educators with lesson creation. This study explores the effectiveness…

Generative artificial intelligence (AI)-powered conversation agents such as ChatGPT are increasingly being used in teacher education. Although ChatGPT can provide ample resources for lesson planning, little attention has been paid to how teacher candidates construct prompts and evaluate AI-generated outputs in real time to develop lesson plans.…

The purpose of this mixed-methods study was to investigate how generative AI tools, particularly ChatGPT, impact preservice teachers' lesson plans and attitudes toward mathematics. Fifty-five undergraduate students who were enrolled in their first semester of a teacher education program participated in the study. Each student created two lesson…
