"I, for One, Welcome Our New Computer Overlords": Using Artificial Intelligence as a Lesson Planning Resource for Social Studies
Christopher H. Clark; Cathryn van Kessel
Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education (CITE Journal), v24 n2 2024
Due to the introduction and rapid ubiquity of artificial intelligence (AI) and AI-integrated programs that can be used by students and teachers, educational scholarship evaluating the capabilities of AI is needed. This study evaluates the abilities of three prominent AI programs--ChatGPT, Microsoft's Bing, and Google's Bard--to create high school lesson plans on the subjects of Martin Luther King, Jr., the Indian Removal Act, and climate change. The authors judge the quality of the lessons' content based on scholarship in the education field and document the process of prompting the AI to produce lessons more in line with these criteria.
