Abstract

The present research examined influence of artificial intelligence regarding the independent homework learning among secondary school students in Aniocha North Local Government  Area of Delta State. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. The sample size of 189 students was drawn from the population of 4,720 public senior secondary school students in Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State. Four public secondary schools Ogboli Secondary School, Issele-Uku; Ebu Secondary School, Ebu; Obior Secondary School, Obior; and Idumuje-Unor Mixed Secondary School, Idumuje-Unor were sampled for this study. Using the simple random sampling technique, students were given equal opportunities to participate in the study, and respondents were selected proportionately from the selected schools to ensure fair representation. Thereafter, a total of 189 students were randomly chosen and administered copies of the questionnaire, which formed the sample for the study. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire titled “Artificial Intelligence and Independent Homework Learning Questionnaire (AIIHLQ).” The instrument reliability of .89 was established with Cronbach Alpha reliability method. Pearson Product Moment Correlation analysis (PPMCC) was employed in testing the hypotheses. All the hypotheses were texted at 0.05 significant level. The study’s results indicated that students’ awareness of artificial intelligence and frequency of artificial intelligence usage significantly influenced independent homework learning among secondary school students in Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State. Sequel to the result of the study, the researchers recommended among other that schools should create awareness on the proper educational use of artificial intelligence tools and guide students on responsible usage to enhance independent homework learning.
