Abstract

This study examined Role of Artificial Intelligence in Teaching and Learning Biology for Sustainable Development in Public Senior Secondary Schools in Port Harcourt Metropolis. To achieve the purpose of the study, the researcher formulated 2 objectives of the study, 2 research questions and 2 hypotheses that guided the study. Descriptive survey design was used for the study. The population for this study comprised all biology teachers in Port Harcourt Metropolis with a population size of 103 biology teachers. Census sampling method was used, where the entire population size of 103 biology teachers was used. The instrument used for data collection was self-structured questionnaire. The data gathered were analyzed using mean and standard deviation for the research questions while the hypotheses were tested using z-test statistical tool at 0.05 level of significance. Based on the analysis, the findings of the study revealed that driving innovation in biotechnology and fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills enhance teaching and learning for sustainable development in Public Senior Secondary Schools in Port Harcourt Metropolis. Based on the findings of the study, the study recommends that: government should implement Artificial Intelligence systems that can identify individual students' learning needs and Artificial Intelligence should be used by teachers to boost students' motivation towards their studies.
