Exploring Pre-service Mathematics Teachers' Perceptions of Generative AI in Mathematics Education: A Pilot Study

In contemporary education, the landscape is being reshaped by the rapid evolution of technology, with generative Artificial Intelligence (genAI) emerging as a promising tool to revolutionize teaching and learning experiences. Within this context, our study delves into the integration of genAI, specifically focusing on ChatGPT, within mathematics education. We aim to explore the perceptions of pre-service mathematics teachers regarding the relevance and challenges associated with incorporating generative AI into the design and implementation of teaching activities. The research question we attempt to answer in our study is: to what extent pre-service mathematics teachers perceive generative AI as relevant to design and implement teaching activities?
