Abstract:
This research explores the utilization of AI chatbots in science education at Don Ruben E. Ecleo Sr. Memorial National High School, focusing on the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of 106 senior high school students. The majority were females (65.09%), aged 15-17 years (84.91%), and Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) students (29.24%), Science Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) students (70.75%). ChatGPT emerged as the most preferred AI chatbot, favored by 83.96% of respondents. The findings revealed that students have a moderate to high understanding of AI chatbots, with generally positive attitudes towards their integration into education. While engagement levels varied, highlighting the need for targeted interventions, students appreciated the personalized learning experiences and immediate feedback provided by AI chatbots. Recommendations include increasing awareness and training on AI chatbot use, ensuring equitable technology access, addressing academic integrity through strict guidelines, and promoting the complementary role of AI and human educators. This study aims to inform policy-making and strategic planning to enhance the effective use of AI chatbots in education, fostering an inclusive and dynamic learning environment.
