Abstract
The adoption of innovative technologies is critical for improving teaching practices and student learning outcomes. Among these, artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as a transformative tool capable of reshaping traditional educational paradigms. ChatGPT, a sophisticated language model developed by OpenAI, offers numerous opportunities for educators to enhance pedagogical effectiveness and streamline lesson preparation processes. This study explores the efficacy of ChatGPT in lesson preparation by surveying and interviewing teachers at Dr. Josefa Jara Martinez High School in the Philippines. It aims to understand their attitudes towards and experiences with integrating ChatGPT into their teaching practices. Despite the promising potential of AI in education, the adoption of such technologies in the Philippines faces significant barriers, including limited awareness, access issues, and concerns about technology integration. The findings reveal that while teachers recognize the benefits of using ChatGPT, such as improved efficiency and personalized instruction, challenges like lack of training and ethical concerns remain prevalent. The study underscores the need for comprehensive professional development programs and robust ethical guidelines to support the effective and responsible use of AI tools in education. The results show that teachers have a wide range of opinions, but many of them agree that ChatGPT has the potential to make lesson planning easier, offer individualized learning resources, and keep students interested in class. On the other hand, issues with consistency with curriculum requirements, dependability, and general efficacy were also apparent. The study sheds light on the challenges associated with integrating AI into education and makes recommendations for professional development, focused assistance, and ethical considerations to help high schools adopt AI technologies responsibly. Teachers can optimize learning experiences, improve teaching effectiveness, and give students the tools they need to succeed in the digital age by tackling these issues and utilizing AI's transformative potential.
