ABSTRACT

This study examined the efficacy of artificial intelligence in school environment emphasizing on research and development. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force in education, revolutionizing how students learn, teachers instruct, and institutions manage academic activities. In the context to carry out this study, the following subheads among many others were explored: concept of artificial intelligence, concept of school environment and concept of research and development. The study mentioned artificial intelligence impact on school research and development to include: efficient data analysis, automated research assistance and personalized learning insights. Furthermore, the study mentioned the types of school research aided by artificial intelligence to include: educational assessment/evaluation and personalized learning/adaptive instruction among others. Plagiarism/academic integrity, bias/misinformation in artificial intelligence-generated research and lack of critical thinking development among others were mentioned as the challenges of artificial intelligence in school research. Furthermore, the study stated ensuring data privacy and security, addressing bias in artificial intelligence algorithms and promoting artificial intelligence literacy among students and educators among others as the mitigating challenges of artificial intelligence in school research. The study concluded that artificial intelligence holds great promise in transforming research and development within schools by enhancing learning, simplifying data analysis, and supporting innovative academic practices. One of the recommendations made was that schools should implement AI literacy programs for both educators and students to maximize AI’s potential in research and development.
