ASSESSMENT OF THE LEVEL OF ECONOMICS TEACHER’S AWARENESS OF THE APPLICATIONS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN TEACHING AND LEARNING ECONOMICS
Abstract
This study was conducted to assess teachers’ awareness of the applications of artificial
intelligence (AI) in teaching. The study adopted a descriptive design. The population
comprised 56 teachers in Owerri Education Zone2 of Imo State which were manageable
for the study. Thus, there was no sampling since the whole population of teachers in the
study area participated in the study. Teachers' Awareness of the application of AI
Questionnaire (TAAAITQ) was used as the instrument for data collection. The reliability of the
instrument was determined to be 0.89 using Cronbach alpha method. Mean and
standard deviation were used to answer research questions while independent samples
t-test and ANOVA were used to test hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The result
showed that teachers have a low level of awareness of applications of AI. Furthermore,
it was revealed that gender, experience and qualification do not significantly influence
teachers' level of awareness of the applications of AI. Based on findings, it was
recommended among others that, the government should organize workshops for the
training of teachers on the application of AI in teaching and learning.
