THE USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AS A TOOL TO SUPPORT TEACHER PLANNING

Abstract

Artificial intelligence is increasingly present in educational practices, bringing new possibilities to teachers' work. Among these possibilities is support for lesson planning, activities, and teaching materials. This article aims to analyze the contributions of artificial intelligence to lesson planning, considering its possibilities, limitations, and implications for pedagogical practice. A qualitative and descriptive bibliographic research was conducted, using studies published between 2020 and 2026. The analyzed works indicate that artificial intelligence can assist in organizing content, developing activities, adapting materials, and creating different teaching strategies. However, problems related to information reliability, privacy, authorship, and the need for teacher training were also identified. The results show that technology can be used as a complementary resource, but should not replace the teacher's knowledge and professional decision-making. It is concluded that the use of artificial intelligence in planning requires pedagogical intentionality, critical analysis, and responsibility.
