Abstract
In Japan, teachers from elementary to high school provide classes according to the Courses of Study, which is revised every 10 years by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). A teaching plan is a document that specifies the contents and learning activities of a class in concrete terms. Each teacher is expected to use a teaching plan that describes educational class design and its methods in everyday classes. However, due to the teachers’ overwhelming daily workload, teaching plans are used only for occasional demonstration classes or class research discussions. In short, they are rarely utilized for ordinary classes. In addition, there are two types of teaching plans: detailed plans and simple plans. Generally, a detailed plan is called a teaching plan, and a simple plan is a brief version of a detailed plan. The simple plan is easier in format than the detailed plan and focuses on the contents and methods of the class and the activities of the students. If teachers can create a simple plan for each class, it would improve the quality of their teaching activities and enable them to manage their classes on a continuous basis. This would function as a quite important educational database. However, in reality, it is difficult for teachers to make a simple plan for every class and utilize it under the current circumstances. If teachers in schools can create the simple plans for daily teaching and utilize them for innovative ideas and updating for class management, the quality of education can be improved even more than before, despite the demands of tough work as teachers. In this research, we particularly focused on leveraging a generative AI to create a simple teaching plan. We constructed a method that enables simple and convenient creation, which basically does not require human intervention, by utilizing a generative AI.
