EVALUATING THE INTEGRATION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE INTO BUSINESS EDUCATION CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

This study examines the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Business Education curriculum development in Nigeria. As AI continues to transform education, this research explores its implication on student learning outcomes, educators’ perceptions of its effectiveness, and its role in fostering inclusivity. A mixed-method research design was employed, involving 215 stakeholders selected through systematic random sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using mean and standard deviation. The study's reliability analysis yielded a Cronbach's Alpha of 0.917, indicating high internal consistency. Findings revealed that AI positively influences student learning outcomes (Grand Mean = 3.40, SD = 0.63), enhances curriculum development (Grand Mean = 3.46, SD = 0.65), and contributes to inclusivity (Grand Mean = 3.41, SD = 0.62). Specifically, AI tools improve student engagement, problem-solving skills, and personalized learning experiences. Educators recognized AI’s potential in streamlining curriculum design, reducing workload, and enhancing instructional materials. Additionally, AI fosters inclusivity by improving accessibility for students with disabilities, personalizing learning to accommodate diverse needs, and bridging educational gaps.
