INVESTIGATING THE EFFECT OF AI-POWERED LEARNING TOOLS ON ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT OF SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS IN MATHEMATICS

Abstract

The application of AI has been disrupting the way teaching is being done particularly in mathematics. AI-Powered tools can be used to enhance learning among students. The purpose of conducting this study was to determine how the use of AI teaching tool influences academic performance of high-school students in math. The aims of this research were, to determine the effect of AI powered tools on the academic performance of the student in mathematics, to compare the academic performance on basis of pre and post-tests of, i) both the experiment group and control group, ii) High achievements and low achievers of the experiment group, iii) High achievements and low achievers of the control group. On the basis of the above objectives, null hypothesis was tested. Students of The East School Jehangira District Nowshera 60 (30 as experimental and 30 as control group) of grade IX were selected to take up the study. There was the use of experimental research design to compare the performance of students taught using AI-based tools with traditional teaching. Pre- and post-tests had been used to collect data to determine whether there was an increase in student achievement. The data was calculated using analyzes such as descriptive data such as mean SD variance and inferential data such as t-test to test hypothesis. The research results show that AI has stronger effects on the academic performance of students compared to the traditional approach of the teaching process through the use of AI power tools (GeoGebra) have achieved significant favourable influence on the student performance in mathematics, Thereby the researchers suggested that teachers need to consider AI powered (tools/GeoGebra) as alternative teaching method of learning and visualizing geometrical concepts in the secondary level. The effect of it can also be examined in academic achievement of male community/ private students next.
