Abstract

This study investigated Chemistry students’ awareness,
accessibility and utilization of artificial intelligence (AI)
in Colleges of Education in South-West Nigeria. The study
was guided by three research questions and three
hypotheses. This study adopted descriptive survey
research design. The population consisted of 834Chemistry
students from five Federal College of Education, with a
purposive sample of 340 students (94 males,
246females) from three Colleges of Education. Students’
awareness, accessibility and utilization of artificial
intelligence for learning Chemistry (SAAUAILC)
adapted from Enebechi et al. (2024) and Zudonu et al.
(2024) was the instrument used for data collection. The
instrument was validated by three experts in relevant
areas. The internal consistency reliability index of
SAAUAILC was established as 0.80 using Cronbach
Alpha. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer
research questions while t-test was used to test the
hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. Findings of
the study revealed that there are low level of awareness,
accessibility and utilization of AI resources amongst
Chemistry students. Gender had no significant influence on Chemistry Students' awareness, accessibility and
utilization of artificial intelligence. Based on the
findings of the study, it was recommended amongst
others that government should organize workshops,
conferences and seminars in Colleges of Education
for increased students’ sensitization and integration of AI
in learning Chemistry.
