The Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) among Teachers in Implementing ICT-Based Education for the RBT Subject

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be defined as a system that demonstrates intelligence by analyzing its environment and independently taking actions to achieve specific objectives. This study aims to identify the level of skills, usage, and the impact of using Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology among teachers in implementing Information and Communication Technology (ICT)-based education for the RBT subject in primary schools within the Petaling Perdana District. It also examines the relationships between skill levels, usage, and the impact of AI utilization. This survey-based study involved 100 respondents and utilized a Likert-scale questionnaire consisting of four main sections: demographics, AI usage skills, level of AI usage, and the impact of AI usage. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics and Spearman’s Rank test. The findings indicate that teachers’ skill levels are high (mean=3.91), their level of AI usage is moderate (mean=3.55), and the impact of AI usage is high (mean=3.77). The Spearman’s Rank test found significant relationships between skill levels and the impact of AI usage, as well as between the level of usage and its impact on teachers' engagement with AI technology. These findings suggest several initiatives to ensure the full implementation of AI usage, including organizing incentive training programs, developing supportive technological infrastructure, and raising awareness of AI technology utilization. This study supports the view that AI integration has the potential to improve the quality of education through data analysis, automation, and enhanced learning effectiveness.
