Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate gender differences in the adoption, use patterns and perceived effectiveness of AI writing tools by undergraduate students at the University for Development Studies (UDS). In light of the rapid adoption of AI tools into the landscape of higher education, it is important to examine male and female students as they relate to the usage and perceptions of AI in higher education. This study employs the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as a theoretical framework to explore how factors such as perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and attitudes toward technology influence AI adoption and usage patterns. A cross-sectional survey design was used for data collection using a structured questionnaire from 320 students across three departments. Statistical analyses (including t-tests and chi-square tests) were used to examine differences by gender. More than three-fourths (76.9%) of student respondents reported the use of AI tools, while 31.6% reported daily use. No significant differences were found between male and female students on perceived effectiveness, and both male and female students perceived AI tools as being effective. Results demonstrate the comorbid use of artificial intelligence in the academic writing context and imply that any gender differences in AI output are mitigated by the supportive capabilities of AI tools. The study's implications highlight the need for educators to provide equitable access and training in AI tools to support diverse student needs. Policymakers and developers should focus on designing inclusive AI writing tools that address potential barriers, ensuring all students benefit equally from technological advancements in education.

Abstract

This study evaluates the Teachers Mate 1 (TM1) laptop initiative for pre-tertiary school teachers in Tamale Metropolis, Ghana, using the Consumer-Oriented Evaluation Model. The initiative aimed to enhance teaching and learning through laptop distribution. Guided by Scriven’s model, the study assessed the laptops’ effectiveness from the users’ perspective. A cross-sectional survey design was employed, with data collected from 260 teachers across eight senior high schools using structured questionnaires. The sample was determined using the Yamane formula, with proportional random sampling ensuring representation. Data analysis, conducted using SPSS (version 26), revealed that 56.5% of respondents felt the laptops were not worth their cost, and 47.3% expressed dissatisfaction due to quality and performance issues. Gender disparities emerged, with male teachers more likely to own additional laptops. Despite these concerns, 63.5% of respondents rated the initiative positively, indicating mixed perceptions. The study underscores the need for rigorous pre-implementation evaluations, incorporating user feedback and quality assurance measures. It recommends a structured stakeholder engagement process, including teachers, policymakers, and technology experts, to ensure future educational technology initiatives align with user needs and expectations.
