Assessment of lecturers’ readiness level on the use of artificial intelligence in colleges of education in Anambra state

This study assessed lecturer’s readiness level on the utilization of Artificial intelligence in colleges of education in Anambra state. A descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. Two research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. 95 lecturers drawn from the two colleges of education in Anambra state was used in the study. The instrument for data collection was a Lectures’ Readiness Level Questionnaire (LRLQ) developed by the researchers and validated by three experts. The reliability co-efficient was established using cronbach Alpha and a value of 0.87 was obtained. The research questions were answered using mean and standard deviation while the null hypotheses were tested using t-test statistics. It was revealed that the lecturers readiness level on the utilization of Artificial intelligence was low and lack of equipment, inability to adjust to new ways, poor power supply are some of the causes of low level of readiness. It was recommended among others that seminar/workshops be made available for the practicing lecturers, also there should be provision of constant power supply to enable effective use of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
