Abstract :ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence-based text generation tool. It is used in education to improve teachers\\\' text writing, content planning and language skills. This study aims to qualitatively evaluate teachers\\\' perceptions and experiences regarding the application of ChatGPT in education. In the research, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 21 teachers. The data was analyzed using the content analysis method. Findings showed that ChatGPT creates a personalized, collaborative and content-rich learning environment by providing 24/7 feedback to students and teachers. Additionally, it has been determined that ChatGPT contributes to the development of text writing and language skills. However, it has also been revealed that ChatGPT has some negative aspects in terms of ethical, commercial, contextual and psychological aspects. These negative aspects include ethical issues such as privacy, security, plagiarism, cyber addiction, discrimination and prejudice. This study is one of the first to investigate the potential and challenges of ChatGPT in education from the perspective of teachers, highlighting the need for further research in this area.
