CHAPTER 4: RESULTS, ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION
4.2. Summary of the Quantitative Results
4.2.1. The first question: “How is Artificial Intelligence applied and effective in the
educational platforms on students’ learning and teachers’ practice. In this chapter the researcher presented the results collected from both qualitative and quantitative data to answer the study questions. To achieve the objectives of this study, data analysis process was performed to statistically reduce raw data to make presentations, interpretations, and conclusions on the study's findings.
All data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL) version 23.0. In this work, descriptive statistical analysis and regression analysis were employed. Moreover, the frequency distribution, central tendencies, percentages, mean and standard deviation were calculated.
4.2. Summary of the Quantitative Results
4.2.1. The first question: “How is Artificial Intelligence applied and effective in the education sector”?
To answer this question, the frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviations were calculated to explore the relevance and practice of artificial intelligence in the education sector for teaching and learning. Additionally, the degree was determined based on the fifth Likert scale. The outcomes are listed in the following tables.
