Abstract

This study aims to investigate the potential effects of using ChatGPT in teaching natural sciences to future educators. Through an experimental design, teaching without artificial intelligence will be compared to teaching that integrates ChatGPT to understand electricity. The research will examine the initial and final attitudes of future educators toward the use of this generative artificial intelligence application, as well as its impact on their understanding of concepts in the field of natural sciences. The expected outcomes will determine the future educators’ performance in understanding concepts of electricity and potentially foster a positive attitude and an increased interest in natural sciences in general through the utilization of generative artificial intelligence.
