Impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) On Secondary Education
Faiza Zafar
Abstract:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing education. AI helps teachers create learning paths that fit individual student needs and also automates administrative tasks. It provides data that support teaching and assessment. This study explored how AI influences schools, teaching practices, assessment processes, student engagement, and existing challenges. A descriptive survey design was used, involving 122 respondents: 30 teachers, 80 students, and 12 administrators from secondary schools in Gujranwala. Data were collected using a 20-item Likert-scale questionnaire and analysed through descriptive statistics in SPSS.The findings showed that AI supports learning, enhances student engagement, reduces teacher workload, and increases access to learning materials. Students also reported improved motivation. However, challenges were identified, including insufficient teacher training, high costs of AI tools, and limited internet access. The study indicates that AI has strong potential for improving education, but effective use requires investment in digital tools, teacher professional development, and clear ethical guidelines to ensure fairness and sustainability. It further suggests integrating AI-related teaching methods into teacher education programs and increasing institutional and governmental support for implementation.
