Abstract
Chat GPT was released in 2022; since then, generative artificial intelligence (AI) has gained attention for its potential applications in various fields, including education. This paper explored how preservice physics teachers can use Chat GPT in lesson preparation and execution. Chat GPT was introduced to 22 preservice physics teachers, and they were encouraged to use it in their education planning and implementation. The included preservice teachers primarily used Chat GPT in lesson preparation, including plan creation, structuring and study of contents, and the investigation of misconceptions. They also explored real-life physics applications using Chat GPT. According to the preservice teachers, Chat GPT provides rich contents from diverse perspectives and real-time responses as well as predicts student questions and reactions. However, concerns were raised regarding the reliability of information and the potential of students to accept the knowledge provided by Chat GPT uncritically. Moreover, in this study, we discussed the use of generative AI in physics education.
