Finding the Answer in ChatGPT

This book provides an answer to this very feeling of helplessness.
We've fleshed out the concept-based curriculum philosophy into a "step-by-step manual immediately applicable to the classroom," and we propose ChatGPT, a generative AI, as a reliable companion for unit design and lesson preparation.

Concept-based education is characterized by designing the entire 'unit' rather than individual lessons as the basic unit.
Moving beyond the mere transmission of fragmented facts or information, we aim to cultivate the ability for students to understand concepts on their own and apply them to real-world situations through a process of inquiry in which they voluntarily participate.
In this way, you will delve deeply into core concepts within the flow of the entire unit, and this book provides helpful guidance on how to design such units.

The unit design process involves challenging tasks such as 'identifying key concepts,' 'creating inquiry questions that expand student thinking,' and 'creating lesson materials.'
However, by applying the 11-step unit design method and prompt utilization method, these difficulties can be solved step by step.
Above all, utilizing generative AI significantly expands teachers' lesson planning capabilities, freeing them from repetitive and time-consuming tasks and allowing them to focus more on creative and essential teaching and learning.

In the AI ​​era, teachers' expertise shines even brighter.

AI won't solve everything.
The results provided by ChatGPT only gain meaning when reinterpreted and supplemented based on the teacher's critical perspective and expertise. While AI is a "capable assistant" that expands teachers' thinking and reduces repetitive tasks, the teacher is always the main character and final decision-maker of the class.
This book presents concrete ways to further enhance teachers' expertise through collaboration with AI.
It also honestly points out the limitations and cautions of using AI.

Field-focused, step-by-step practical guide

The most significant feature of this book is that it suggests practical methods to bridge the gap between theory and practice.
Beyond a simple introduction to theory, we provide a practical manual that can be immediately applied in the classroom, including ChatGPT prompts aligned with the "11 Steps of Concept-Based Unit Design," real-world application examples, assessment rubrics, and activity examples.
Additionally, we've systematically structured everything from curriculum interpretation to unit design, inquiry question development, and assessment item and rubric creation, so you can implement it step by step with the help of ChatGPT.

Guide and companion in practice

At the beginning of each chapter, we included a virtual conversation about the concerns of teachers in the field, aiming to help readers understand the field and build empathy with them.
We've also prepared an audio guide summarizing the key content, and provide it as a QR code so you can listen to it anytime, anywhere.
The audio guide was created using Google Notebook LM's 'AI Audio Overview' feature, allowing busy teachers to quickly and easily review key content.

We hope this book will serve as a guide and a reliable companion on the journey of new classroom innovations created by teachers and AI together.
I sincerely hope that this small book will become a starting point for courage and practical action that will lead to the realization that "I can do it too."
