Abstract

This study explored the awareness and utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) tools among secondary school students in Enugu North Local Government Area, Enugu State, Nigeria, specifically for learning Biology. Guided by two null hypotheses and four research questions, the study employed a descriptive survey design. The population consisted of 1,780 Senior Secondary School Class II (SS 2) students from nine secondary schools, with a purposive sample of 300 students (180 females, 120 males) from three coeducational schools. Data was collected using the "Awareness and Utilization of Artificial Intelligence Tools for Learning of Biology (AUAITLB)" instrument, validated by three education specialists, and with a reliability coefficient of 0.78. Descriptive statistics and t-test analysis revealed no significant gender differences in AI awareness and utilization. However, the study found that students underutilize AI tools like educational apps, virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR). Recommendations include increased AI sensitization and greater use of AI tools by Biology teachers.
