Abstract


This study adopted a descriptive survey research design to investigate the awareness, perceptions, and challenges of AI integration for learning among postgraduate students in the Faculty of Education, Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, Port Harcourt, Rivers State. The population of the study consists of 52 postgraduate students in the department of Curriculum Studies and Educational Technology. The entire population was used as the sample size. Researchers’ self-structured questionnaire titled Artificial Intelligence Awareness Perception and Challenges Questionnaire (AIAPCAQ) was used for the study. It was adequately validated and a reliability coefficient of 0.67 was obtained. Mean and Z-tests were used in the analysis of the collected data. The study revealed that students who are interested in technology often participate in extracurricular activities such as coding clubs, robotics competitions, or STEM programmes, and these activities provided hands-on experience with AI-related tools and concepts, fostering a deeper understanding of technology utilization. Based on the findings, it was recommended that postgraduate students be encouraged to explore various AI tools, participate and engage in other activities such as coding, robotics, and STEM programmes to enhance and optimize their research endeavours. Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Technology Integration, Post graduate Awareness, Perception , Challenges and Learning.
