THE IMPACT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ON STUDENTS’ ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IN PUBLIC SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN ANAMBRA STATE, NIGERIA
type: item
description: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has increasingly permeated the educational landscape globally, offering new pathways to personalize learning, increase engagement, and optimize educational outcomes. This study explored the impact of AI-driven tools and systems on students’ academic performance in public secondary schools across Anambra State, Nigeria. As the world shifts towards a digital and knowledge-driven society, integrating AI into the educational process presents both transformative opportunities and challenges, particularly in developing contexts where infrastructure and digital literacy vary widely. The study adopted a qualitative research design to gain in-depth insights from key educational stakeholders, including school administrators, teachers, ICT coordinators, and students across urban and rural public secondary schools. Using a population of 146,635 students and a purposive sample of 820 participants, the study employed in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis to gather rich, context-specific data. The findings reveal that while AI applications such as intelligent tutoring systems, automated grading, adaptive learning platforms, and AI-assisted administrative tools are being piloted in some schools, the level of integration remains minimal and uneven due to issues such as inadequate funding, poor digital infrastructure, teacher resistance, and lack of training. Notably, where AI tools were in use, there was observable improvement in students’ comprehension, retention, and critical thinking abilities. Teachers reported that AI-enabled learning platforms helped personalize lessons and assessments, enabling them to identify learning gaps early and respond more effectively. Students also expressed increased motivation and engagement with interactive and gamified AI tools. However, disparities in access between urban and rural schools remain a significant barrier, with urban schools having more opportunities to benefit from such tec…

description: This paper investigated managing the digital learning environment for students with special needs in public schools in Rivers State, Nigeria. Students with special needs typically include individuals with physical disabilities such as mobility impairments or sensory impairments like blindness or deafness. Additionally, there are those with learning special needs, such as dyslexia or dyscalculia, which impact their ability to acquire, process, or express information effectively. School administrators must embrace a holistic approach to managing the digital learning environment for students with special needs by integrating these innovative strategies: universal design for learning (UDL), leveraging accessible technology and tools, individualised learning plans (ILPs), professional development of teachers, engaging parents and caregivers, and adopting culturally responsive practices. The researchers identified various policy frameworks for managing digital learning environments for students with special needs in secondary schools that will ensure that these environments are inclusive, accessible, and effective in meeting the diverse needs of all students. The study concluded that managing digital learning environments for students with special needs in Rivers State's public schools is both important and challenging. These digital tools can greatly help students with special needs by offering personalised and flexible learning options. However, there are many obstacles to overcome, such as a lack of proper equipment, limited internet access, and not enough trained teachers. The paper suggested, among others, that the government should ensure the availability of a range of assistive technologies and digital learning tools that cater to various disabilities.
