Artificial Intelligence and Teacher’ Job Performance in Public Post-Basic Education and Career Development (Pbecd) in Fct, Nigeria

Abstract

The study assessed the impact of artificial intelligence on teachers’ job performance in public in Post-Basic Education and Career Development (PBECD) in FCT, Nigeria. The research adopted a descriptive survey design for this study. The Sample for this study comprises three hundred and twenty (320) teachers who were randomly selected in six areas councils in FCT. The sampling techniques that were used for this study are simple random sampling techniques. A well-structured questionnaire was used to obtain information from the students. The questionnaire were structured on a four-point type likert modified scale: Strongly Agreed, Agreed, Disagreed, strongly Disagreed (SA, A, D, SD). The face validity of the questionnaire was examined through experts’ judgment while factor analysis was used to estimate its content and construct validity. The percentage analysis was used to indicate the percentage scores of all the respondents. Mean and standard deviation were used to analyse research questions while hypothesis was tested using Pearson r, t-test of correlational analysis and simple regression analysis. The study concluded that there is a very strong positive correlation between AI and teachers’ job performance in public in Post-Basic Education and Career Development (PBECD) in F.C.T, Nigeria. Implying that AI supported effective implementation of teaching and learning in schools. The study also disclosed that high cost of purchasing AI facilities, high cost of maintaining AI facilities, AI literate level of teachers, limited AI facilities, unstable electricity, inadequate AI infrastructure facilities and students AI literacy level are the challenges of deploying artificial intelligence for teaching and learning in Post-Basic Education and Career Development (PBECD) in FCT. Based on this the paper hereby recommends that government through FCT secondary school education board should provide adequate AI facilities to all the Post-Basic Education and Career Development (PBECD) in F.C.T. The governments and private institutions should support the Post-Basic Education and Career Development (PBECD) in F.C.T with AI facilities for both teachers and students and government should ensure supply of constant electricity and internet services.
