This Teacher Choices project studied the impact that using ChatGPT (alongside a guide) for lesson and resource preparation in KS3 Science had on teacher time spent on this activity, compared to other approaches unassisted by Generative AI (GenAI) technology.
We are delighted to share that the evaluation report for the ChatGPT in lesson preparation trial has now been published on the EEF website. You can access the full report using the link provided.
Key Learning
Teachers using ChatGPT experienced significantly lower lesson and resource preparation time than a comparison group of teachers who were asked not to use GenAI tools to plan their lessons. The lesson and resource planning time for ChatGPT teachers was 56.2 minutes per week compared to 81.5 minutes in the comparison (non-GenAI) group, a saving on average of 25.3 minutes per week for participating ChatGPT teachers.
This result has a high security rating. Quality did not appear to be affected based on an expert panel reviewing the quality of lesson resources, without knowing which had been produced using ChatGPT.
