EFFECTS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) TO THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF GRADE 12 GENERAL ACADEMIC STRAND STUDENTS AT BESTLINK COLLEGE OF THE PHILIPPINES

Abstract

accessibilityArtificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly integrated into education, offering personalized learning experiences, automating administrative tasks, and creating new opportunities for students and educators. However, its adoption also presents challenges, including ethical considerations and potential impacts on critical thinking.​   In educational settings, AI automates routine tasks like attendance tracking and grading, freeing educators to focus more on interactive teaching and direct student engagement. AI tools also monitor student progress and predict academic challenges, enabling timely interventions for those at risk of falling behind. ​ To gather information from 60 General Academic Strand students regarding the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) at Bestlink College of the Philippines, a straightforward random sampling methodology is employed in conjunction with quantitative analysis as the research method. To gather the replies of the study participants, the researchers employed a questionnaire as a data collection technique. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly influencing educational landscapes, particularly among Grade 12 General Academic Strand students. Studies indicate that AI tools are perceived positively in terms of information accessibility, user-friendliness, and assisting in meeting deadlines. These tools also offer academic benefits related to time management, availability, and competency enhancement.​   AI-powered educational tools provide students with immediate access to a vast array of information, facilitating a more personalized and efficient learning experience. The user-friendly nature of these applications allows students to navigate complex subjects with greater ease, thereby enhancing their comprehension and retention of material. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly being integrated into educational settings, offering numerous advantages that can enhance the academic performance of students, including those in Grade 12 General Academic Strand programs at institutions like Bestlink College of the Philippines. Key benefits of AI in education include:​   AI enables personalized learning by analyzing individual student data to tailor educational content, allowing students to learn at their own pace and according to their unique needs. This adaptability enhances understanding and engagement.
