Abstract
This study explores the attitudes of Irish secondary school science teachers towards adopting and applying ChatGPT in education. Adopting a quantitative research approach
with randomised sampling, questionnaires were administered to post-primary school teachers. The findings reveal positive perceptions towards the use of ChatGPT but highlight
concerns about cheating and dependency on artificial intelligence. Additionally, this study addresses the need for comprehensive teacher training on such tools and the establishment
of ethical practices. Recommendations include policy development and regulation, extensive teacher training surrounding ChatGPT, and future research on the long-term
impact of ChatGPT on teaching and learning practices.
