The Frequency of AI Utilization and Academic Performance in Social Studies among Secondary Students

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education has transformed learning methodologies, particularly in enhancing student performance through personalized and interactive content delivery. This study investigates the correlation between the frequency of AI utilization and academic performance in Social Studies among junior high school students in a private school in Valencia City, Bukidnon. Utilizing a quantitative-correlational research design, the study surveyed 50 purposively selected Grade 10 students. A researcher-made questionnaire gauged AI usage frequency, while academic performance was measured using students’ quarterly grades. The findings revealed a high level of AI utilization (mean = 3.59) and a very satisfactory academic performance (mean = 89.38). Pearson correlation analysis indicated a significant moderate positive relationship between AI utilization and academic performance (r = 0.529, p < 0.01). These results suggest that increased frequency of AI engagement contributes positively to academic outcomes in Social Studies. The study highlights the importance of integrating AI tools into the educational process and recommends their strategic implementation to optimize learning outcomes.
