The Education Endowment Foundation will trial whether ChatGPT can help teachers cut workload in one of the first such research projects.
Secondary schools are wanted to take part in the trial, which will investigate whether ‘Teaching with ChatGPT’, an online toolkit that explains how to use the technology, can reduce staff working hours.
Fifty-eight schools will be randomly assigned to either a ChatGPT group or a control group. Those in the former will use ChatGPT in their key stage 3 science lesson and resource preparation, aided by the toolkit.
Produced by the social impact arm of global consultancy Bain & Company alongside The Hg Foundation, the tool supports teachers generate activity ideas, tailor lesson plans and create assessment material.
