Research on the Application of AI in A-Level Biology Teaching

With the rapid digitalization of education, artificial intelligence (AI) has gained significant attention for its potential to transform teaching and learning. In the context of A-Level Biology, AI presents both opportunities and challenges. However, research specifically focusing on AIs application in A-Level Biology teaching remains limited. This study, employing interviews as the primary method, aims to explore how AI can address specific challenges in A-Level Biology teaching. The main objectives are to understand how AI-assisted teaching differs from traditional teaching, its impact on teaching practices, and the potential benefits and drawbacks for teachers. The research used qualitative interviews with three A-Level Biology teachers from different teaching backgrounds to explore the influence in teaching when AI is used in A-Level Biology. The research finds that teachers acknowledged both the advantages, such as personalized resources and increased efficiency, and the challenges, such as potential loss of creativity and autonomy.
