The adoption of Artificial Intelligence tools, such as ChatGPT, is becoming a fast-growing trend in Nigerian schools, as many teachers are now utilising them to make teaching easier and more effective.
A new study by Oluwatobi Idowu, presented at a global event in the U.S., reveals that while some teachers are eager to explore AI, others remain apprehensive or uncertain about it. The study examined the factors that encourage or deter teachers from using AI. However, many remain concerned about privacy and do not fully trust the technology. Experts say the study is helpful because it gives fundamental ideas that can help the government, tech companies, and training centres support teachers better.
As schools around the world begin to use AI, the study suggests that Nigerian teachers also require support and training. Even with few resources, they can still play a significant role in modern education.
