Teachers' utilization of AI, pedagogical practices and students' collaborative learning

Abstract

Teachers are increasingly utilizing AI in various ways, such as conducting research, generating lesson plans, summarizing information, and creating classroom materials. This adoption of AI by teachers is seen as having a positive impact on the future of education, though some challenges remain. Teachers' utilization of AI in education is growing, with many using the technology for tasks such as research, generating lesson plans, summarizing information, and creating classroom materials.Additionally, AI is changing how students learn, with AI-integrated tools becoming a bigger part of the school experience. This study determines teachers’ utilization of artificial intelligence (AI), pedagogical practices, and students’ collaborative learning in three private higher education institutions (HEIs) in the City of Dasmarinas, Cavite, Philippines.The researchersused correlation study to know the relation among the teachers’ utilization of AI and their pedagogical practices and how it facilitates collaborative learning among students.The findings of the study revealed that teacher-respondents highly utilized and perceived AI as highly beneficial and effective in their roles as educators.Theystrongly agree that AI technologies have the potential to improve educational outcomes and support educators in various ways.Moreover, theybelieve in the positive impact and importance of collaborative learning for students.On the other hand, the level of utilization of AI increases when they tend to adapt it on their pedagogical practices. Moreover, the integration of AI technologies in education impacts on how teachers approach teaching and learning processes.More so, there is no strong association between the use of AI technologies by teachers and the collaborative learning outcomes of students. This is because other factors or variables may be influencing the level of collaborative learning among students, independent of the utilization of AI by teachers.
