In our study, set against the backdrop of rapidly advancing AI technology, we examine how ChatGPT, can support pre-service teachers (PSTs) in creating lesson plans and contribute to the improvement of university mathematics teacher education. We implement various prompting techniques that help PSTs cultivate digital professional competencies when interacting with ChatGPT in AI-assisted lesson planning. We evaluated the AI-generated lesson plans and the PSTs' modifications to these plans. Our initial results indicate that the quality of both the AI-generated lesson plans and the PSTs' modifications to them can vary and interact with each other. Overall, our findings suggest that effective prompting techniques can aid PSTs in enhancing their lesson planning competencies.
