THE IMPACT OF MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHERS' USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE APPLICATIONS IN INCREASING THEIR MOTIVATION TOWARDS DEVELOPMENT
Abstract
The current study aimed to investigate the effect of middle school teachers' use of artificial intelligence applications in increasing their motivation towards development in the Northern District, and to identify the differences in teachers' responses according to the variables (gender, specialization, region, experience and qualification). The researcher used the descriptive field approach, and the study sample consisted of (1379) male and female teachers in middle schools in the Northern District within the Green Line during the academic year 2023-2024. They were selected randomly, distributed over (45) schools. To achieve the objectives of the study, a questionnaire consisting of (19) paragraphs was developed. The results of the study showed that the effect of middle school teachers' use of artificial intelligence applications in increasing their motivation towards development in the Arab community in the northern region within the Green Line was moderate, and there were statistically significant differences at the significance level (α=0.05) in the study sample's estimates of the effect of middle school teachers' use of artificial intelligence applications in increasing their motivation towards development in the Northern District attributed to the effect of the gender variable in favor of females, and to the effect of the variable The academic qualification is in favor of the category "PhD", and the effect of the experience variable is in favor of the category "ten years or more", and there are no statistically significant differences attributed to the effect of the variables of specialization and region. The results also showed a positive and statistically significant correlation between the effect of the use of artificial intelligence applications by middle school teachers in increasing their motivation towards development in the Northern District. Based on the results of the study, it is recommended to prepare specialized training programs for middle school teachers in the Northern District to help them enhance artificial intelligence in teaching and learning, in addition to involving the local community in meetings aimed at informing them of the technological applications in artificial intelligence used in the school, as well as continuing to provide development programs for teachers related to artificial intelligence techniques and their use in teaching and learning.
