Abstract

Generative models are artificial intelligence systems that can create humanlike text, pictures, and videos by learning from complex datasets. They use deep learning techniques to understand and replicate the patterns, contents, and structure of language. The research aims to investigate the attitudes, beliefs, and perceptions of science educators in Lagos State regarding the use of Generative AI (GAI) in the teaching of Chemistry. The study adopted a well-structured electronic questionnaire for data collection. Then it was subjected to descriptive and inferential statistics using one-way Analysis of variance (ANOVA). The study revealed no significant difference in Chemistry educators' perception of GAI between educators' gender and teaching experience. This implies that the gender and experiences of the Science educators do not determine the possession of GAI knowledge or enthusiasm to teach it in teaching and learning. In conclusion, 21^st-century science educators are more conversant with GAI and are ready to explore its use. Furthermore, administrators with 10 years and above experience are very enthusiastic about the technology due to the ease of delivering their duties. One hundred (100) educators are chosen from the district (V) out of 140 teachers registered with the state public school in Lagos state using simple random techniques.
