| dc.description.abstract | In this study, the impact of AI-assisted applications on teachers' teaching practices, namely the usage of certain AI applications, challenges in using them, and the required professional development needs were investigated. Qualitative content analysis of 30 peer-reviewed scientific papers was complemented by semi-structured interviews of 15 chemistry teachers, thus making it possible to verify theoretical insights in practice. It turned out that using AI technology can significantly help in saving teachers' time while grading, planning lessons, and explaining complex chemistry notions through visualizations. Nevertheless, the significant discrepancy occurred in terms of the tools that teachers utilized. Namely, most of the interviewed teachers used only those technologies that generate text based on the input, such as ChatGPT, neglecting the technologies more relevant for chemistry learning. The reasons behind this include low reliability of AI-based solutions, digital divide, and a lack of specialized professional development programs. Therefore, the results showed that AI is very promising for chemistry teaching. However, its implementation requires three main factors - accessibility, trustworthiness, and integration assistance. | |
