Artificial Intelligence: Its Influence on Academic Performance of Grade 11 Senior High School Students

Asmalia Dida-agun | Carlito Abarquez

Discipline: Artificial Intelligence

 

Abstract:

This study examined the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the academic performance of students enrolled in selected External Units of Mindanao State University (MSU) during the first semester of the 2024–2025 academic year. Employing a quantitative, descriptive-correlational research design, data were gathered through a structured survey questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze demographic variables such as age, sex, academic strand, and general average grades. Pearson's r-correlation coefficient assessed the relationship between AI use and academic performance, while linear regression analysis was conducted to identify potential predictors of academic success. Findings revealed that students actively engaged with various AI tools to support their educational endeavors and reported perceived enhancements in their learning behaviors and motivational levels. Despite these positive perceptions, statistical analysis indicated no significant correlation between AI influence and students' academic performance. Furthermore, variables such as age, sex, academic strand, and the use of AI applications did not significantly predict academic outcomes. The results suggested that while AI technologies contributed to shaping learning behaviors and motivational strategies, their direct effect on measurable academic success remains inconclusive.
