Odunayo, Yewande Adeyosola
Abstract
With the intervention of Artificial Intelligence in the educational clime, the
sector has witnessed changes in the mode of instruction by teachers, quality of
assignments carried out by students, quality of paper writing and presentation,
improved research outcome among others. In other to expand on its positives,
two research hypotheses were formulated to direct the focus of this work.
Quasi experimental research design was used for this work as participants
cannot be manipulated. With population of undergraduates in Lagos State
Tertiary institutions, the target population was year three students in LASUED,
Epe campus and LASU, Ojo, Lagos. Through purposive and simple random
sampling techniques, a sample of 60 undergraduates from Educational
Management department was selected for this work. A self-structured
instrument titled, “Utilisation of Artificial Intelligence Intervention on
Academic performance of Undergraduates in Tertiary Institution
(UAIIAPUTIQ), Achievement Test on Educational Management and a
treatment package was used to generate data. This Questionnaire contained 20
items as respondent were conditioned to the use of 4-likert form of strongly
agree (SA), agree (A), disagree (D) and strongly disagree (SD). Content
validity was ensured by three experts in Educational Planners from
Department of Educational Management, University of Lagos, Akoka. Test
retest form of reliability was carried out on 30 students not captured for this
study and co-efficient value of 0.781 was obtained showing that the items in
the instrument are suitable for the study. Data was analysed through ANCOVA
and tested at 0.05 significant level. The study revealed that the intervention of
Artificial Intelligence has brought relieve for students in many ways through
its aid in task simplification, ensure in-depth understanding through sourcing
of academic contents online. The study concluded that the intervention of
artificial intelligence has further promoted indiscipline and high level of
unseriousness among many undergraduates.
