q2 · i? · causal · r1

Thematic analysis of semi-structured teacher interviews on challenges of AI-assisted planning. Teachers noted ChatGPT "frequently produces overly idealized and polished lesson plans" impractical for daily teaching, included unsafe tools despite age constraints, and generated repetitive content requiring filtering.

"In practice, ChatGPT frequently produces overly idealized and polished lesson plans that may be suitable for competitions or open classes but prove impractical in daily teaching."
