the quickest. It has long been the subject of discussion and intrigue, but only recently has
it started to enter the mainstream. Artificial intelligence is the theory and development of
computers that mimic human intelligence and senses, including voice recognition,
decision-making, and language translation (Joiner, 2018). Technology has been through

help students achieve their academic goals by automating tasks such as writing and
media related projects that are quickly and efficiently done. Tools like spelling and
programs used by students. UNESCO, or The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and
Cultural Organization (2022), states that the connection between AI and education
involves three areas: learning with AI (e.g. the use of AI-powered tools in classrooms),
learning about AI (its technologies and techniques), and preparing for AI (e.g. enabling all
advancements for artificial intelligence in the Philippines for it to be applied in the industry
to make it able to sustain and improve itself. The Department of Trade and Industries’ AI
roadmap seeks to provide direction on the use of AI to sustain local industries’ regional
and worldwide competitiveness, as well as identify priority areas for government, industry,
and broader society to invest time and resources in both research and development and
technology application (Hani, 2021). The Department of Trade and Industries may have
already invested a lot into the tech field, but the implementation of artificial intelligence in
the country’s education has been incompetent and inefficient. In particular, the high cost

The use of AI in education is not only widely recognized in the Philippines but also
around the world. For example, the use of AI in education in China focuses on an
machine cooperation, and joint growth of the future has led to the setting of this
educational objective (Yang, 2019). This leads to the conclusion that the education in
China ensures the well-rounded development of students in China by the equal weighting
of improving pupils' skills and thinking quality. On the other hand, unique approaches to
education can be seen in Bangladesh because of its use of an education system that
incorporates augmented reality and virtual reality. According to Khan et al. (2021), the use

Chapter 2
People now live in a very different world thanks to technology. It has altered and
reshaped many aspects of living. In the emergence of technology in the world, technology
has affected and continues to affect the field of education. As known by many, technology
plays a big role in the development and simplification of daily activities in people’s lives.
Since computers have been used in schools, it has been simpler for teachers to convey
knowledge and for pupils to learn it. According to a study conducted by Raja and
Nagasubramani (2018), the use of technology has made teaching and learning more
enjoyable.
teaching and learning. The interest and moral of students and teachers in the integration
of AI in learning is related to how effective the integration will be. Innovative ways are
being used and continually introduced for easier and more effective lectures in the
classroom and even in online learning programs. Similarly, with the use of modern
equipment technology and tools, the learning and interactivity of students increases (Raja
& Nagasubramani, 2018). Other than that, AI can continually enhance and maximize
learning, create an atmosphere that encourages kids' passion, initiative, and creativity
(Colchester et al., 2017; Yang & Bai, 2020). Several people have used AI in the sphere of
education and it has demonstrated significant application benefits, which has a significant

Innovation in technology is a key supplier of sustainable development in the
education sector. In institutions for education, technical advancement and integration are
important resources for a sustainable future and educational initiative. In order to advance
the learning strategy of higher education, changes have to be made and accepted.
Popenici and Kerr (2017) stated that artificial intelligence is currently progressing at an
accelerated pace, and this already impacts on the profound nature of services within
in providing a promising future to education. With the acceptance and help of teachers,
Artificial intelligence evolved throughout the years from its emergence, and with its
evolution came the introduction of new AI systems such as DALL·E 2 and GPT-3. DALL·E
2 is a new AI system developed by OpenAI in 2021, that can create original, realistic
images and art from a text description. It is an AI system that is especially useful for
students to be inspired by the artwork and incorporate this into their own work. Another AI
program developed by OpenAI is GPT-3, a neural network machine learning model that
can produce any kind of text after being trained using internet data. This program only
needs a tiny quantity of text as an input to produce huge amounts of accurate and complex
machine-generated text. Through GPT-3, students and teachers can easily expand their

achieve its maximum potential in terms of its contribution to education. UNESCO (2021)
stated that the possibilities that the AI has a potential to achieve is limited by ethics, such

specifically. According to Fahimirad and Kotamjani (2018), artificial intelligence can: (1)
automate grading in educational context, (2) give students and lecturers constructive
automated grading in educational context could save the lecturer’s time and this time
could be used for more professional work such as interactions with the learners. The
constructive feedback given by AI could help the lecturers since AI has the potential to
determine if a course is successful. AI could track and monitor students’ activities without
the help of the lecturers themselves and will be able to use that data to create proper
feedback. Lastly, the altering of teachers by AI could help the lecturers focus more on
more professional tasks. Improving AI may also let it fill in more professional tasks and be
a substitute in teaching.
Artificial intelligence also has a variety of consequences, not just benefits. A study

Development Program to Improve It” by Cukurova et al. (2022) has proved that numerous
instructors have negative perceptions related to AI which increases the suspicion and

stated that education technology assists students who frequently feel excluded from the
computers and the internet. This will generally be understood as we live in a “technological
society” whereas technological devices are a necessity for living in this day and era. AI
systems have been created to aid students in the learning process; in this setting, kids
find the trial-and-error process to be considerably less scary. Since AI systems give
students a learning environment that is largely free from criticism, AI tutors can also make

the users is collected. Other more contemporary systems receive data from sources other
than keyboard, mouse, and screen inputs, such as cameras, microphones, and wearable
devices. This could be gathered via the interaction with the teaching interface as part of
learning exercises.
Artificial intelligence solutions relate to tasks that can be automated, but cannot be

factors like a recurrent use of punctuation marks, usage of capital letters, or important
phrases highlight how difficult it is for supercomputers to recognize irony, sarcasm, and
humor. With this knowledge, we may conclude that artificial intelligence in education is
not entirely reliable and that it may have an impact on students' learning.
One of the biggest ethical issues surrounding the use of AI in K-12 education
relates to the privacy concerns of students and teachers (Regan & Jesse, 2018). Privacy

on online platforms. Although existing legislation and standards exist to protect sensitive
personal data, AI-based tech companies’ violations with respect to data access and
security increase people’s privacy concerns (Murphy et al., 2019). AI systems request
users' permission before accessing their personal data to alleviate these worries. Many
people give their consent without understanding or taking into account the extent of the
information that they are sharing, such as the language spoken, racial identity,
biographical information, and location, despite the fact that consent requests are intended

Additionally, if teachers have no way of discerning AI-written text from actual text
written by students, current grading systems will lose their rationale and legitimacy.
Teachers are also given more work when identifying content that was created by a
machine because these tools can defeat plagiarism detection software and require more
thorough examination.
Synthesis
In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has begun to have a significant impact in
many different areas, including education. AI is providing new opportunities for enhancing
automating grading and providing feedback. The use of artificial intelligence in education
is nothing new. In fact, AI has been used in educational applications for many years now.
However, its use has been limited to certain tasks such as grading and providing feedback
to students. But with the advances in AI technology, we are now seeing AI being used for
There is no doubt that AI can bring about many benefits for the education sector.
For instance, AI-based technologies can be used to personalize learning for each
15
individual student, to develop more effective and efficient teaching methods, and to help
reduce the burden on teachers. However, there are also some potential risks associated
with the use of AI in education. These risks include the negative perceptions and distrust
of teachers in AI, the potential for data privacy breaches, and inaccurate teaching
performance of AI. Overall, there are both positive and negative effects of AI in education.
However, the positive effects appear to outweigh the negative effects. As AI continues to
With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI), ethical concerns have
arisen regarding its use in education. Ethics are an important consideration in the use of
AI in education. The potential benefits of AI need to be balanced against the potential risks
in order to ensure that AI is used in a way that is beneficial to all students. It is important
to consider the ethical concerns that arise when using AI in education; however, these
concerns should not be used to justify a complete ban on AI in education. Instead, ethical
guidelines for the use of AI in education should be implemented. These guidelines should
focus on ensuring fairness, privacy, and data security for all students.

METHODOLOGY
Research Design
The research design to be utilized in this study is the basic interpretative research

then identify themselves and explain how the interview will be conducted to the senior
high school participants before gathering data by recording the interview's voice.
18
Data Analysis
The researchers will use thematic analysis as a method for studying qualitative
data that comprises examining a data set for repeating patterns, understanding them, and
reporting them (Braun and Clarke, 2006). It is a way of describing data, but it also includes
interpretation in the selection of codes and the creation of themes. The first step is
familiarizing the data, in which researchers will read and reread the transcripts. The
second step is generating the initial codes. The researchers will begin to organize the
data in a meaningful and methodical manner at this phase. The researchers will code
each segment of data that is relevant to or captured something interesting about the
research questions. The third is searching for themes. In this step, the researchers will
examine the codes to see if it is clearly fitted together into a theme. The data will be
collated into an initial theme called the purpose of feedback. Fourth, reviewing themes.
During this phase, the researchers will review, modify and develop the preliminary themes
that they identified in the third step. At this point, it is useful to gather all the data that is
relevant to each theme. Fifth, defining themes. In this step, the researchers will identify
the essence of what each theme is about (Braun & Clarke, 2006, p.92). Finally, the last
step is a write-up in which the researchers will write a summary of the data collected.
Trustworthiness
The degree of confidence in data, interpretation, and methods used to assure the
quality of a study is referred to as trustworthiness (Connelly et al., 2016). It has four key
19
Credibility
Credibility is the level of trust that is placed in the accuracy of the study results.
The study results' credibility is determined by whether the researchers reflect believable
information derived from the participants' original data and if they are a correct
interpretation of the participants' original opinions (Korstjens & Moser, 2017). Thus in this
study, the researchers will establish credibility by ensuring that the findings are plausible

describe the research setting and the important assumptions that led to the study.
Dependability
The degree to which research procedures are recorded, allowing someone outside
the study to observe, audit, and evaluate the research process, is called dependability
(Polit et al., 2006; Streubert 2007). Dependability will be established in this study by

Ethical Considerations
Researchers must ensure that the participants are safe from harm and any
unnecessary stress during the study. Therefore, ethical considerations must be adhered
to at all times. This will help to avoid unwanted research dilemmas such as compromising
the validity and trustworthiness of the data that is collected (Bouma et al., 2004).

Method of Data Analysis
Following the collection and gathering of data and answers from the participants, the
researchers came forth with the interpretation of experiences of the students that uses
the participants. The researchers classified which of the responses given by the
participants were in meaning or detailed. The researchers studied and scrutinized the
information first before determining their integral coding. After the analysis investigated,
evaluated, and arranged the conclusions, they classified the integrated coding as specific
coding with the application of Microsoft Word. The researchers utilized thematic analysis
in deciding the code from the data. Formulated upon the data and the transcript, the
researchers came up with 5 core categories which are the Positive Experiences in using
and Learnings and Insights based on Experiences in using AI Programs. The findings that
the researchers came up with were constructed on the comprehended and interpreted
experiences of senior high school students in terms of the impact of using AI programs in
academics.

Therefore, students who use AI for academic purposes are impacted by assistance
on tasks like spelling and grammar editing, media editing, plagiarism checking,

study revealed that AI also helps students with time management, by automating repetitive
and time-consuming tasks, allowing students to focus on more important and complex
tasks. This finding confirms the study conducted by Fast and Horvitz (2016) that identified
success indicators for how AI influences society such as: improving student learning and
making human labor simpler or freeing humans from the need to work at all.

that AI can have on students' efficiency, which is further supported by the research
conducted by Chen et al. (2020) that found that AI has a wide range of benefits in
administration. Together, these findings demonstrate the significant impact that AI can
have on the education system and the benefits it can bring to students' academic
performance and efficiency. Thus, both findings point to the positive effects of AI on
experiences of senior high school students in terms of the impact of using AI programs in
academics.

A male student said,
Therefore, overreliance, confusion, and frustration are attitudes that students may
gain from using AI programs in academic purposes. The research finding by Kim & Lee
(2020) that "artificial intelligence education experience negatively influenced the students’
attitudes toward artificial intelligence" supports and confirms this finding that "overreliance,
confusion, and frustration are attitudes that students may gain from using AI programs in
academic purposes." This is because both findings point to the potential negative effects
of AI on students' attitudes and experiences in the classroom, with the study by Kim & Lee

Sijing & Lan (2018) highlights the lack of ability for AI to judge information leads to
the possibility of it sending wrong information or improper values to students, which can
have negative effects on their education. This aligns with our finding that AI programs may
produce unexpected results, which in turn can affect the overall effectiveness and
critical topics, where the dissemination of incorrect information can have serious

Therefore, recommendations from other individuals, including friends, can serve as
experiences, activities, and conversations, which can provide opportunities for individuals
to learn from each other and share knowledge about a variety of topics, including AI.
This study confirms that friends can have a significant impact on our attitude and
opinions. Rashotte (2007) found that social influence, which refers to the influence that
others have on our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, is a strong force. When it comes to
recommendations from friends, we are often more inclined to trust and follow their advice

A male student said,
“... the school simply doesn’t make use of AI in improving the quality
of our education… the school mostly sticks to a more traditional way
of teaching students through books and face to face classes” – P1
Therefore, the school has not included the use of AI in its curriculum, leading to a
lack of exposure to current technological advancements for students within the school
environment.
This finding highlights the need for the education system to better prepare students
for a future that will be heavily impacted by artificial intelligence. According to the Oxford
Insight (2020), it is essential that we educate children about AI and help them understand
how it works in order to inspire a new generation of AI researchers and software engineers.
Additionally, it is important that we teach future professionals how to develop safe and
ethical AI systems in various fields, such as medicine, automotive, and finance. Overall,

that AI can enhance learning, being open to integrating AI tools into teaching practices,
“… our teachers tell us about the sites that could help us that
would minimize the effort needed for making the tasks.” – P5
Therefore, this study found that some teachers have a supportive attitude towards
the use of artificial intelligence in education, and encourage students to utilize it for
academic purposes.
This finding aligns with the research by Kuleto et al. (2022) stating that it is
important for students to be familiar with AI-based teaching tools as a transversal skill.
This suggests that these teachers recognize the value of exposing students to AI
programs as a way to develop their skills in this area. This recognition of the value of AI
programs in education is likely based on the potential benefits that these tools can offer to

A male student said,
“AI is still in its infancy and has a lot of potential in advancing technology and society as
a whole. Through the development in AI that would further improve our daily lives and
give us countless benefits in the future. Although AI as of now is very faulty, by giving it
more time to develop I believe it will yield to a new era where everyone would be using
AI to assist them in their lives. The future is bright for AI technology and I hope it

“For me, if the researchers focus more on AI, there will be a higher chance in
improving it and it’ll even be able to help more people like, its utility will be
expanded and will not only be exclusively useful in education.” – P4
Therefore, the student views AI as a technology with the potential to greatly benefit
society and daily life, and has a hopeful outlook on its future ability to improve technology
and society.
In line with the findings of Demir and Güraksın (2021), the participants in this study
had a favorable view of AI and believed it had the potential to enhance society and
technology. This positivity towards AI may encourage students to embrace its use in their

1. What are your POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE experiences in using AI in education in terms
of the following:
1.3: Preparing for AI? (How school prepares students on modern AI technologies)
2. If you experience difficulties in applying AI in education, how did you handle this kind of
situation?

Artificial Intelligence (AI). It is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially
computer systems (Burns, n.d).
PARTICIPANT #1
useful for finding out if the written study I’m currently viewing is
in my studies.
Participant #1: My first encounters with AI were through movies and documentaries

Participant #1: I’m saddened to say that the school simply doesn’t make use of AI in
improving the quality of our education. Since the school mostly sticks

that would further improve our daily lives and give us countless

about AI?
is also *uh*, this also shows relying on the AI program than working
on my skills.
Interviewer: For question 1.3, what are your positive and negative experiences in
Participant #2: *Uhm* From the school, it does not recommend using AI programs
because it will make the students rely on the AI programs than work
Interviewer: So, kung wala kang na experience na difficulty, wala kadin na learn

(Sure.)
much on AI programs.)
Interviewer: Okay, okay, yun lang naman yung sa ano namin, sa interview lang
(Okay, that’s it for our interview. Thank you for lending us your
time.)
PARTICIPANT #3
Interviewer: Let’s start with question one, one point one, what are your positive
Participant #3: Okay so, learning with AI for me is using AI programs such as spelling
other websites, but I’m not really familiar with it. So, in Grammarly,
subjects and probably with formal events too. Then the negative is
it’s your first time using it and you are not really tech-savvy. What’ll
happen is you’ll likely be confused, you don’t know what’s the first
step, and sometimes, when you no longer know what to do, you’ll end
Interviewer: Yes, learning about AI, source of knowledge about AI, where, who or
Participant #3: So, to be honest, I heard about it in social media, there was a time
and then one time I was scrolling through social media, I saw a
netizen, is that what they’re called? *laughs* Okay so, that person
also posted about other websites, but I deeply chose Grammarly. So,
you’ll immediately see the correct grammar, spelling and the words
that can be used for a better sentence. There are times that you’ll
remember and learn about the corrections and ways that Grammarly
Interviewer: So, you’ve already mentioned your positive experiences, how about
Participant #3: So far, in learning about it, not much really since I’ve really just
have any negative experiences there, just like what I’ve mentioned,
Interviewer: Okay, thank you. So, moving on in one point three, what about in
school?
Participant #3: So *uhm* we had a teacher who we called Ma’am Yayong. Our
Grammarly, not only Grammarly, but also other AI software that are
research, but also in other subjects so, there it is, the positive thing
about it is she’s encouraging me, not only me, but also my classmates
experienced?
Participant #3: So, first off in difficulties in applying AI in education is the state of
being too dependent in using it. This was the first difficult I
encountered after using it. There was a time when I felt a really good
feeling because I was like “there are programs like this? Programs
that can help you construct better sentences? It can also improve my
what if you weren’t allowed to use it? So, you’ll keep seeking for its
using it when I am struggling, I’ll use it even if I don’t need to, Then,
how did I handle this kind of situation, I forced myself to not use it, I
also apply the things I’ve learned from it to my works. Not only
sentences?
Interviewer: Okay so, what did you learn from those experiences?
Participant #3: So, I’ve already mentioned what I’ve learned, limit the use of these
programs because once you start to use it every so often, you’ll, just
like me, struggle without it. I’ve already experienced that since one
time, I was so desperate which is how I found out about it. I’ve always
used it, but once I was the one that was actually going to write it, I

experiences.

Participant #4: Using AI for academic purposes has been a big help to support my
Participant #4: I have known all the AIs I know now through my friends during the
pandemic. We would have a discord group call while doing our own
schoolwork. I would ask for help for hard questions and they would
them.
Participant #4: If I experience difficulties in using AI, I try to discover other ways to
PARTICIPANT #5
Interviewer: What are your positive and negative experiences in using AI in
using ai?
Participant #5: The reason why I knew about AI is because I’ve always seen ads
Participant #5: My positive experience is probably our needs, as students, are now
more accessible and sometimes, our teachers tell us about the sites
that could help us that would minimize the effort needed for making
the tasks. I observed that when instructors rely too much on AI, they
accurate result, they still use the output from AI, making it difficult to

chance in improving it and it’ll even be able to help more people like,
its utility will be expanded and will not only be exclusively useful in
education.

yung may idea tayo at gusto natin makita, pero we just can’t form the
words into sentences and sometimes we want to say that with the AI,

yung mga ads, tapos yung mga clips sa Tiktok, tapos yung mga
