A Secure Technology Environment and AI's Effect on Science Teaching: Prospective Science Teachers

Abstract

As AI technology continues to advance, it has led to the development of various systems that help with student learning. This study sought to investigate the use of AI applications in science teaching, particularly in terms of student engagement, challenges encountered, and effectiveness. The study utilized a quantitative approach, with 120 prospective science teachers completing a self-report questionnaire. Results showed that students were highly engaged with the AI tools used in the science classroom. However, some challenges were faced by teachers, such as a lack of access to appropriate resources and the complexities of AI use. Despite this, the use of AI technology has been proven effective in science teaching. Based on the findings, the researcher suggested some recommendations.
