ABSTRACT

Nigerian secondary school students consistently do poorly in science classes. This is because they continue to use traditional teacher-centered teaching methods that don’t take into account the unique needs of each student. This research looked into what happens to students’ grades in Biology and Mathematics when they are taught using Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Ogbomosho North Local Government, Oyo State. The study used a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest approach with a control group that wasn’t the same. The group was made up of senior secondary school II science students, and whole classes from four secondary schools were chosen. The Biology and Mathematics Achievement Test (BMAT) was used to gather information. Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used to look at the data, and pretest results were used as covariates. The significance level was set at 0.05. There was a significant main effect of teaching style on students’ academic performance in both Biology and Mathematics, the results showed. It was found that students who were taught Biology using AI did much better than those who were taught normally (F(1,107) = 520.95, p <.05; Adjusted R² =.846). Additionally, in Math, using AI to teach students greatly improved their performance compared to the traditional way (F(1,159) = 92.01, p <.05; Adjusted R² =.515). The study came to the conclusion that teaching using artificial intelligence is a good way to help kids do better in science classes. As a result, it was suggested that science teachers use AI-based teaching tools in the classroom and that people involved in education make sure that secondary schools have the right technology and skills to make this work.
