Distance Learners' and Teachers' Attitude Towards the Use of Artificial Intelligence
Abstract
Advances in Artificial Intelligence have extended a wealth of opportunities for distance learners and teachers. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the distance learners’ attitude towards current trends and practices of AI. The survey approach was considered appropriate for this study, and a sample of 100 students (of M.Phil and PhD) and their 50 teachers (100+50=150) was taken randomly. For the collection of data, a questionnaire on 5point Likert scale was developed and administered on the respective sample. Reliability of this research tool was 0.83 (Alpha Coefficient). Collected data were analyzed through SPSS XXII by running percentages, mean scores, and t-test formulas. Main findings of the study revealed that both students and teachers have positive attitudes towards AI. However, teachers were more fluent and frequent than students in using AI as an instructional technology. Both students and teachers affirmed that artificial intelligence promotes personalized learning and enriches the teaching-learning process. Efficiency and enhancement in learning productivity were witnessed by both teachers and students. AI ensured real-time assistance, meaningful feedback, and query resolution. Artificial intelligence supports students in their academic tasks, making the learning process interesting and motivating.
