Abstract

The e-learning is the primary method of learning for most learners after the regular academics studies. The knowledge delivery through e-learning technologies increased exponentially over the years because of the advancement in internet and e-learning technologies. Knowledge delivery to some people would never have been possible without the e-learning technologies. Most of the working professional do focused studies for carrier advancement, promotion or to improve the domain knowledge. These learner can find many free e-learning web sites from the internet easily in the domain of interest. However it is quite difficult to find the best e-learning content suitable for their learning based on their domain knowledge level. User spent most of the time figuring out the right content from a plethora of available content and end up learning nothing. An intelligent framework using machine learning algorithms with Random Forest Classifier is proposed to address this issue, which classifies the e-learning content based on its difficulty levels and provide the learner the best content suitable based on the knowledge level .The frame work is trained with the data set collected from multiple popular e-learning web sites. The model is tested with real time e-learning web sites links and found that the e-contents in the web sites are recommended to the user based on its difficulty levels as beginner level, intermediate level and advanced level.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has advanced in the post-pandemic era and is unavoidable in teaching and learning. Teachers’ perceptions, as the primary gatekeepers, are essential for ensuring quality education and inclusive classrooms, with AI as a collaborator. While some teachers resist these technological shifts, others are actively adapting an AI-assisted teaching approach. We conducted this study to understand the reasons for teachers’ resistance (challenges and difficulties) and how they perceive the use of AI in the teaching, learning, and assessment process, because the first step in effective incorporation is having a favorable attitude towards it. Hence, this study explored the perceptions of 15 secondary private school teachers, selected through purposive sampling, regarding the incorporation of AI into teaching, learning, and assessment processes, as well as the challenges they faced. The researchers developed an in-depth interview schedule and conducted interviews to understand participants’ perceptions and challenges. The data is analyzed following the thematic analysis steps by Braun and Clarke. Thematic analysis revealed that teachers demonstrated a positive understanding towards the pedagogical relevance of AI, rather than merely having a favorable perception. Furthermore, teachers predominantly viewed AI as an additional tool to enhance the effectiveness of knowledge transactions and instructional design. The challenges include infrastructure accessibility and professional training; time management for preparation, skill updating, and fulfilling varied teaching and other responsibilities; the inability to verify the accuracy of information; and parental mindset. This study offers insights for developing AI-aided teacher training and relevant curricula for schools.
