Background of the Study

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education is becoming more common, especially

in high schools. This study looks at the opportunities and challenges that Grade 11 students at

Alicia National High School face when using AI in their learning. As technology changes, it is

important to understand how it affects students and their education, shaping not only their

academic performance but also their social development.

One major benefit of AI is that it can help create personalized learning experiences. Rizvi

(2023) explains that AI can adjust lessons to fit each student’s needs, allowing them to learn at

their own speed. This customization helps students stay engaged and understand the material

better. With AI, students can receive instant feedback and resources that cater specifically to their

learning styles. This tailored support can lead to improved academic outcomes and greater

confidence in their abilities.

AI can also help teachers by taking care of routine tasks. Lampou (2023) notes that this

allows teachers to spend more time preparing lessons and connecting with students. By

automating grading and administrative work, teachers can focus on creating engaging lessons

and providing individualized support. This shift can lead to a more effective learning

environment where teachers and students build stronger relationships, enhancing the overall

quality of education.

However, using AI in schools has some challenges. One significant concern is the ethical

issues related to its use. Rizvi (2023) points out the need to think about problems like data

privacy and fairness in AI. Students’ personal information could be at risk if not handled
properly. If these issues are not addressed, the risks of using AI might outweigh its benefits.

Basha (2024) highlights that students might become too dependent on AI tools, which could

weaken their critical thinking and problem-solving skills over time. It’s essential for students to

learn how to think independently rather than relying solely on technology.

Another challenge is that relying too much on AI could reduce face-to-face interactions in

classrooms. Saputra et al. (2023) indicate that this could affect students’ social skills and their

ability to communicate well with others. Building friendships and engaging in group work are

vital parts of the high school experience. Suharyat and Lusiana (2023) emphasize the importance

of maintaining social connections to support students’ overall development. It is crucial to find a

balance between using technology and having personal interactions to ensure a complete

educational experience that fosters both academic and social growth.

In summary, while AI offers exciting opportunities for Grade 11 students at Alicia

National High School, it also presents important challenges that must be addressed.

Understanding these issues is essential to make the most of AI while avoiding its drawbacks. By

focusing on student-centered learning, promoting ethical practices, and encouraging human

interaction, schools can create an environment where AI not only enhances learning but also

supports personal development. Finding ways to manage these challenges will be key to making

the best use of AI in education, helping students thrive in a technology-driven world.

Scope and Delimitation

This study focuses on the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the education of

Grade 11 students at Alicia National High School. Its main objective is to understand how AI

impacts students’ learning experiences, highlighting both opportunities and challenges.

Participants will include Grade 11 students at Alicia National High School, and the research will

gather their perspectives on personalized learning and feedback mechanisms. The study will not

include insights from teachers or administrators, focusing solely on student experiences. The

research will be conducted during the 2024-2025 academic year at Alicia National High School,

located in Alicia, Isabela. A descriptive survey approach will be used, with questionnaires and

interviews as the main data collection tools.

Significance of the Study

affects students learning at Alicia National High School. This study may benefit the following

groups:

Schools. The research will examine the implementation of AI technologies in educational

settings, including changes in teaching methods, student performance, and school policies.

Teachers. The study will assist teachers in understanding the various reasons why most learners

use artificial intelligence in their education, and it may also provide insights on how to integrate

artificial intelligence into education, given its significant contribution to learning.

Students. The study will examine how Grade 11 learners utilize artificial intelligence (AI) in

their education and how it contributes to their academic performance.

Researchers. The study will contribute to existing research on the integration of Artificial

Intelligence in student learning and the challenges and opportunities that learners encounter in

using AI.

Future Researchers. This study will serve as a foundation for future research on artificial

intelligence in education.
