Adopting artificial intelligence (AI) in education for various purposes has become prominent and raised many user concerns. The concerns, apprehension, or fear that comes with the use of AI are referred to as Artificial Intelligence Anxiety (AI anxiety). Undergraduates most frequent users higher education. This study assessed anxiety among pre-service teachers. A survey conducted online was used data collection. sample 1067 teachers mathematics, science, technology teacher programs were purposefully selected study. questionnaire collect regarding teachers' AI-Anxiety six dimensions: intimidation, societal impact, job displacement, technological dependence, dread, ethical instrument hosted through Google Forms, gathered analyzed descriptively (percentage, mean, standard deviation) inferentially (ANOVA regression analysis). reveals a moderate level Levels vary across dimensions, five found be high while only one at level. It also significant variations based on their area speciality. Also, identified no influences demographic characteristics teachers, emphasizing gender. Thus, educators institutions should urgently embark literacy improve technologies ameliorate anxiety.

Written assignments for large classes pose a far more significant challenge in the age of GenAI revolution. Suggestions such as oral exams and formative assessments are not always feasible with many students class. Therefore, we conducted study South Africa involved 280 Honors to explore usefulness Turnitin's AI detector conjunction student self-reflection. Using Mixed Methods Research (MMR) approach, analysed data generated from Turnitin reports, our grading rubrics, qualitative The findings show that incorporating self-reflection into supports ethical use improves transparency lecturers need decision-making. A declaration form allowed be upfront about using Generative Artificial Intelligence tools. We found who can reflect on their learning relied less content. However, high detected scores (> 20%) did adequately how tools supported could give credible explanations use. contribute body knowledge by providing academics examples responsibly handling AI-detected large-class settings. present guided an support help make decisions when grading. also decision tree graders evaluating assessments.

This study investigated the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools into secondary school chemistry education in Zimbabwe, assessing their impact on student engagement and academic performance. Grounded Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory Cognitive Load Theory, research employed a mixed-methods approach within pragmatic framework. Quantitative data were collected through pre-test post-test assessments structured surveys, comparing an experimental group using AI with control employing traditional methods. Qualitative from teacher interviews classroom observations analysed thematically. ANCOVA analysis revealed statistically significant difference scores between groups, F (1, 117) = 188.86, p < .005, η² 0.617, demonstrating large effect size Students exhibited mean improvement 20%, controlling for differences. Additionally, interaction effects use gender (F (1,115) 0.17, .684) as well prior knowledge 0.05, .829) not significant. Furthermore, 85% reported higher levels, confirming AI’s role fostering motivation conceptual understanding. facilitated personalized learning paths, interactive simulations, real-time feedback, optimizing cognitive efficiency deep learning. Despite these advantages, challenges emerged, including limited internet access, insufficient technological resources, lack training, curriculum difficulties. These barriers highlight need strategic investments digital infrastructure, professional development educators, revisions to fully integrate education. The findings underscore transformative potential STEM developing nations. Addressing infrastructural pedagogical is critical maximizing AI's impact, ensuring equitable long-term sustainability educational innovation.
