The Mediating Role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Usage on the Relationship between Attitudes towards AI in Education and Students’ Learning Outcomes

Abstract

This study focused on the mediating role of artificial intelligence (AI) usage in the relationship between students’ attitudes toward AI in education and their learning outcomes. The main purpose of the study was to determine the level of students’ attitudes toward AI, Artificial Intelligence (AI) usage, and learning outcomes among senior high school students. It also aimed to find out whether Artificial Intelligence (AI) usage plays an important role in the relationship between students’ attitudes toward AI and their learning outcomes. This study used a quantitative and correlational research design. The respondents were 271 senior high school students from Lorenzo S. Sarmiento Sr. National High School. The data were analyzed using weighted mean, Pearson’s r, Spearman's rho, and multiple regression analysis. The results showed that students had a high level of positive attitudes toward AI, a high level of Artificial Intelligence (AI) usage, and good learning outcomes. The findings also revealed a significant relationship between attitudes toward AI in education and learning outcomes, as well as between attitudes toward AI and Artificial Intelligence (AI) usage and attitudes towards AI in education and Artificial Intelligence (AI) usage. Moreover, Artificial Intelligence (AI) usage was found to significantly mediate the relationship between students’ attitudes toward AI and their learning outcomes. This means that when students have positive attitudes toward AI, they are more likely to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, which helps improve their learning outcomes. The findings of this study may help teachers and future researchers understand the importance of using AI in education to support students’ learning.
