ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AS A TOOL FOR INCLUSIVE AND EQUAL LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming education by improving teaching–learning processes and supporting inclusive education. The present study examined Artificial Intelligence as a tool for promoting Inclusive and Equal Learning Opportunities among Higher Secondary School students. A normative survey method was used, and 100 students were selected through random sampling. Data were analyzed using percentage analysis, mean, standard deviation, and t-test. The results showed that most students have a moderate level of Artificial Intelligence awareness, while Inclusive and Equal Learning Opportunities are mostly at a low level. Significant differences were found based on gender, medium of instruction, and locality, whereas family type showed no significant difference. The study emphasizes the need to integrate AI tools in education to improve accessibility, equality, and inclusive learning opportunities.
