CHATGPT DEVELOPS PHYSICS EXPERIMENT WORKSHEETS FOR PRIMARY EDUCATION TEACHERS

Konstantinos T. Kotsis

Abstract


This research examines how ChatGPT is a valuable tool for primary school teachers in creating essential worksheets for conducting physics experiments in the classroom. Teachers may use ChatGPT's features to develop stimulating and interactive exercises that improve students' comprehension of physics ideas. Studies on the efficacy of technology in education support this study. Studies have shown that hands-on experiments enhance students' comprehension and memory of scientific topics. Incorporating ChatGPT into designing worksheets for physics experiments has the potential to transform how teachers teach science in primary schools.
