Teacher training in Physics often faces challenges related to engaging students and conveying abstract concepts effectively. Generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT, present transformative opportunities for designing innovative and tailored educational activities. This study investigates the impact of ChatGPT on pre-service Physics teacher training, focusing on its usability, effectiveness, and influence on participant satisfaction. Utilizing a quantitative research approach, two Likert-scale surveys were administered to 24 prospective Physics teachers in Ecuador, both before and after an intervention workshop. The workshop introduced participants to ChatGPT’s features and its applications in designing playful, Physics-focused learning activities. Results indicated a significant increase in familiarity with AI tools, enhanced activity design quality, and high satisfaction rates. Notably, 79% of participants highlighted ChatGPT’s utility in adapting activities to diverse learning levels, and 83% acknowledged its efficiency in reducing preparation time. These findings underscore ChatGPT’s potential to revolutionize Physics education by facilitating the creation of personalized and engaging learning resources. Future research should explore larger sample sizes and longitudinal impacts to fully realize the implications of AI-driven tools in educational contexts
