q1 · i? · qualitative · r1

Qualitative questionnaire study (RQ2): two lesson designers compared three-segment LLM-generated lessons with their manually crafted lessons via structured written questionnaires. Designer 1 noted "The AI can quickly generate variations of scenarios, allowing educators to focus more on fine-tuning and less on repetitive drafting."

"One of the most significant advantages of LLM-facilitated lesson generation, as highlighted by both lesson designers, is the substantial time savings in drafting scenario sections."
