Impact Of Artficial Intelligence (AI) In Teaching And Learning Of Physics Education In Secondary Schools In Otuocha Education Zone

Abstract

This study investigated the impact of artificial intelligence in teaching and learning of physics education in secondary schools in Otuocha education zone. Three research questions were formulated to guide the study. Descriptive survey design was used for this study. The sample of the study comprises of 20 secondary school physics teachers which was selected using total population sampling technique and 150 secondary school physics inclined students who were randomly selected using simple random sampling technique. The instrument used for data collection was a 15 items structured questionnaire with four degree of responses of strongly agreed (SA=4), agreed (A=3), disagree (D=2) and strongly disagree (SD=1). The instrument was face and content validated by experts in the field of measurement and evaluation as well as experts in physics. A trial test was administered and reliability index of 0.86 was obtained using Cronbach Alpha. The data collected were analyzed using mean and standard deviation. The findings revealed that AI systems can analyze data and understand individual student learning patterns by adjusting the material's content, teaching methods, and difficulty level to meet each student's needs and understanding. The study concluded that Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize physics education in Nigeria, paving way for sustainable futures. It is recommended that AI should be integrated into teaching and learning of physics from secondary schools in order to prepare students into tertiary institution.
