Abstract

Today, the problem of using artificial intelligence (AI) in education is essential. Recent studies have detected several challenges in using AI for correct assessment, academic integrity, etc. So, the problem of finding positive practices for using AI in education needs to be studied more closely. We perceive ChatGPT as a digital tool for teacher training, which makes it possible to simulate students' problem-solving process and analyze it critically. It is shown that ChatGPT makes mistakes in solutions, so the generated false answers become an essential training tool in teacher training. It became the base for experimental teaching. The research aims to substantiate the effectiveness of using ChatGPT as a simulation environment to develop pre-service teachers' critical thinking. The statistical analysis of the experiment results proved that ChatGPT is an effective digital tool for developing mathematics and computer science teachers' critical thinking.
