Abstract
This paper examines the education implications of the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications in Science classes in Marcelo A. Anonuevo National High School. Although they were a generation of technology users, most Grade 10 students stated that they were not exposed to AI tools in their science-related assignments. The study surveyed 40 Grade 10 students and used a quantitative descriptive-comparative research design to address their views of the role of AI in promoting knowledge of scientific concepts, engagement, and grades. The findings indicated that AI has a positive influence on learning by enhancing the level of conceptual understanding, engagement levels, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills, and several obstacles like device availability, insufficient teacher education, and high-price paid applications were detected. The application of AI in personalised learning, interactive simulation, and self-paced learning was also very welcome. Nonetheless, students raised the issues of excessive reliance on AI tools, possible distractions, and the lack of live assistance. The article has provided the importance of a systematic integration of AI applications, as well as the focus on teacher training, digital literacy initiatives, and technological barriers. The study can be used to learn the role of AI in the successful application of the system in the teaching of science at the secondary school level and especially in resource limited areas such as those in the Philippines.
