This study was conducted in view of the current state of utilization of Generative Artificial Intelligence by teachers and students alike. Specifically, it sought to investigate the extent to which Mathematics teachers in private schools in Manila use Generative AI as a tool to help them in the preparation, instruction and evaluation dimensions of teaching. Analyses of significant differences in extent of generative AI utilization when the 83 teacher participants were grouped according to sex, age generation (X, Y and Z), educational attainment, and amount of AI training received were conducted. Using a non-experimental, cross-sectional, quantitative descriptive - comparative research design, findings included that there is a relatively balanced use of Generative AI as a tool for the pedagogic dimensions of preparation, instruction and evaluation. When results were analyzed for correlation between extent of utilization and group characteristics, it showed that there is no significant difference in the use of generative AI between male and female, between age generation and educational attainment. The only significant finding is on the amount of Generative AI training received especially between those that reported having received only “basic” training and those that received “extensive training where the p-value is <0.001 These results highlighted the need to provide teachers with a research-based structured Generative AI training for using it as a tool for teaching Mathematics in the three specified pedagogic domains. The researcher proposed, based on the findings, a three-tiered “dose-response” training program where training load (dose) will align with the expected performance change (response). The action plan aims at providing Mathematics teachers the opportunity to universally receive basic training on the use of generative AI while at the same time providing a pathway that will enable them to become experts, and then later, mentors or coaches on the utilization of generative AI as aid for teaching.
