Background of the Study
The increasing role of artificial intelligence (AI) in daily life has led to the emergence
of numerous skill sets associated with AI. AI literacy, which is becoming an important
citizenship competence, has become a skill that has gained importance in recent years. It is
thought that the aim of social studies to prepare students as active citizens of today and the
future has made AI literacy a direct subject of social studies education. However, the
literature on the relationship between social studies and AI literacy is still scarce. This study
aims to explore the utilization of Chat-GPT in improving student’s academic performance in
Social Studies Classroom. In this direction, the concept of AI is defined, and the teaching of
AI literacy in education is examined; the teaching of this literacy within the scope of social
studies is discussed, and an example of a hands-on activity-supported lesson plan, which
can be used in social studies classes, is presented. This study is important in terms of
pointing out the potential role of social studies in AI literacy teaching (Yetisensoy,O.,&
Rapoport, A.2023).
Today, artificial intelligence is one of the emerging technologies that can alter every
aspect of our social interactions. In education, AI has begun producing new teaching and
learning solutions that are now undergoing testing in different contexts. This paper will let
the stakeholders in the education sector understand the extent to which AI will be used in
education and its perceived benefits. This paper provides examples of the use of AI in
education, particularly in developing countries like India wherein providing education to all
is seen as one of the sustainable development goals. First, this paper provides an overview
2
of AI to the reader. It was observed that AI has evolved from simple rule-based systems to
data-driven systems to context-driven systems that have advanced capabilities. Next, the
paper talks about an approach to putting AI into use in education to improve learning
outcomes. Indeed, as a new technology, AI when used in education will bring changes to
the ‘learning experience’ by having an adjustable learning environment that creates a
‘personalized learning experience’. Finally, this paper presents some examples of the use of
AI technology in the education sector aimed at improving the learning experience and
quality of learning.
In the context of the research study, the purpose of this study was to assess the
influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on education. The study focused on the application
and effects of Artificial Intelligence (AI) specifically in the realms of administration,
instruction, and learning within the context of a social studies classroom. The aim was to
assess the usability of AI in this educational setting, acknowledging the multifaceted impact
it could have on administrative processes, instructional methods, and overall learning
outcomes. This deliberate focus allowed for a nuanced exploration of AI's influence on
various facets of education, particularly in the unique context of a social studies classroom.
The study aimed to provide insights into the practical application and effectiveness of AI in
enhancing administrative efficiency, instructional strategies, and the overall learning
experience in the specified educational domain. Artificial intelligence is a field of study and
the resulting innovations and developments that have culminated in computers, machines,
and other artifacts having human-like intelligence characterized by cognitive abilities,
learning, adaptability, and decision-making capabilities. The study ascertained that AI has
extensively been adopted and used in education, particularly by education institutions, in
3
different forms. AI initially took the form of computer and computer related technologies,
transitioning to web-based and online intelligent education systems, and ultimately with the
use of embedded computer systems, together with other technologies, the use of humanoid
robots and web-based chatbots to perform instructors' duties and functions independently
or with instructors. Using these platforms, instructors have been able to perform different
administrative functions, such as reviewing and grading students' assignments more
effectively and efficiently and achieve higher quality in their teaching activities. On the other
hand, because the systems leverage machine learning and adaptability, curriculum, and
content have been customized and personalized in line with students' needs, which has
fostered uptake and retention, thereby improving learner's experience and overall quality of
learning.
Theoretical Framework of the study
This research study used the Connectivism Learning Theory to correlate with the
utilization of Chat-GPT in improving the academic performance of students in social studies
classroom.
Connectivism is a model of learning that can guide first-year advising through “the
integration of principles explored as chaos, network, and complexity, and self-organization
theories” as well as an “understanding that decisions are based on rapidly altering
foundations” (Siemens, 2004). Connectivism is useful for academic advising as a theory that
links previous information to current information incorporates technology within the realm
of knowing, and guides students to look beyond their understanding to connect information.
The idea of connectivism accepts the medium of technology as a part of a student’s
4
decision-making process. In a world of Siri, Cortana, Watson, and other robots giving
individuals answers, people are influenced by technology (McHaney,2001).
Anchored on the theories mentioned above, the researchers conducted this study to
provide an understanding of the usability of AI in the Academic Performance of the students
in the social studies classroom. Despite the numerous research endeavors related to
Artificial Intelligence, there is a noticeable gap in studies specifically addressing the
correlation with the usability of AI in the academic performance of students within the social
studies classroom. This unexplored area is significant, and there is a pressing need to
undertake research in this domain. Investigating the integration of AI in the unique context
of a social studies classroom holds the potential to provide valuable insights into how this
technology impacts students' academic performance, learning experiences, and overall
educational outcomes. Addressing this gap in research will contribute to a more
comprehensive understanding of the role AI can play in enhancing education, particularly
within the specific framework of social studies instruction.

Conceptual Literature
Artificial Intelligence (AI) integration in educational settings has gained significant
attention in recent years. In an era of rapid technological advancements, educators are
constantly seeking innovative ways to enhance teaching and learning experiences. This
conceptual literature explores the usability of AI-based platforms in social studies
classrooms through the lens of action research. This research aims to investigate how AI-
based platforms can be effectively employed in social studies classrooms, the challenges
that may arise during their implementation and the potential benefits they offer to
educators and students.
AI has the potential to revolutionize education by offering personalized learning
9
experiences, automating administrative tasks, and providing real-time feedback to both
teachers and students. In the context of social studies classrooms, AI can assist educators
in tailoring content to meet the needs of diverse learners, thus promoting inclusivity.
Additionally, AI-driven data analysis can help educators identify areas where students
may struggle, enabling timely intervention and support.
Despite AI's promise in education, several challenges and concerns are associated with
its implementation. Privacy and data security issues must be addressed to protect sensitive
student information. Moreover, educators may encounter resistance to change and require
training to effectively utilize AI-based platforms. The potential for algorithmic bias in content
delivery and assessment also needs careful consideration to ensure fairness and equity in
the classroom.
To gain insights into the usability of AI-based platforms in social studies classrooms,
action research provides an appropriate methodology. Action research is a cyclical process
that involves planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. Educators can collaborate with
researchers to implement AI-based tools, gather data on their effectiveness, and make
informed adjustments to improve their usability. This iterative approach allows for ongoing
refinement of AI integration strategies in the classroom.
By conducting action research on the usability of AI-based platforms, educators can
uncover the potential benefits of these technologies. These benefits may include improved
student engagement, enhanced teacher productivity, and the ability to address individual
learning needs more effectively. Future directions in this field may involve developing AI
algorithms specifically tailored for social studies content and continuing to refine the ethical
and practical considerations surrounding AI in education.

Related Studies
A study about ‘Classification of the educational text’s styles with the methods of artificial
intelligence by Horakova, T., et al. (2017), that the evolving landscape of modern
educational methods, emphasizes the need to impart knowledge rather than mere data or
information within the educational process. The authors highlight the critical role of
educational texts in supporting this knowledge transfer and stress the importance of these
texts adopting specific textual structures conducive to knowledge dissemination.
However, assessing whether a given piece of text effectively conveys knowledge or not
can be a complex task. To address this challenge, the researchers propose a solution
centered around measuring the similarity between the structure of a particular text and the
typical structure of a text deliberately designed for knowledge dissemination.
The primary objective of their research is to evaluate the classification capabilities of
three commonly employed machine learning techniques: Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs),
Classification and Regression Trees (CARTs), and Decision Trees (bigMLs). These
techniques are applied to categorize texts or text fragments into two distinct groups. The
first group comprises texts primarily containing data and information, which are commonly
referred to as "common texts." In contrast, the second group consists of texts that
incorporate knowledge presented in various knowledge representations, termed "knowledge
texts."
The researchers analyzed a sample dataset consisting of 120 text fragments to assess
the effectiveness of these classification techniques. Their findings reveal that Artificial
11
Neural Networks (ANNs) outperform Classification and Regression Trees (CARTs) and
Decision Trees (bigMLs) significantly in accurately classifying texts into their respective
categories. The results underscore the robust classification abilities of ANNs, positioning
them as a promising approach for evaluating the complexity and suitability of educational
texts or textbooks designed for knowledge dissemination.
This research contributes to the growing body of literature that explores the potential of
artificial intelligence in educational contexts and highlights the importance of employing
advanced machine-learning techniques to enhance the evaluation and development of
educational materials.
In this study, the use of artificial intelligence in the context of education can inform our
research on the usability of AI-based platforms in social studies classrooms. It showcases
how AI can be utilized not only for platform development but also for content analysis and
classification, which could be relevant to our investigation of AI's impact on teaching and
learning in social studies.
According to Boulay, B. (2016), "Artificial Intelligence as an Effective Classroom
Assistant", states that the realm of Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED) and its
profound implications for improving the learning and teaching processes. The field of AIED
encompasses a fusion of techniques drawn from Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cognitive
science, with the overarching goal of enhancing our understanding of how learning and
teaching occur and creating systems that facilitate learners in acquiring new skills and
comprehending novel concepts.
This extensively explores the integration of AIED into the educational landscape,
emphasizing the concept of blended learning. In this context, blended learning signifies a
12
teaching approach that melds traditional classroom instruction with the capabilities of AI-
based educational systems. One of the central tenets of blended learning is the teacher's
ability to delegate certain pedagogical tasks to AIED systems.
To substantiate the effectiveness of this approach, the author conducts a
comprehensive analysis of meta-reviews and meta-analyses within the domain of AIED.
These examinations synthesize a wealth of research findings and provide a compelling case
for the adoption of blended learning paradigms. The key argument posited is that AIED
systems, functioning as virtual classroom assistants, can adeptly assume various roles,
including the facilitation of content delivery, personalized instruction, and even assessment.
This delegation of tasks to AI-driven systems enables educators to allocate more time and
attention to fostering deeper engagement and interaction with students.
The ongoing discourse emphasizes the integration of AI in education, advocating for a
symbolic relationship between human educators and AI-based classroom assistants. It
underscores the transformative potential of AI, not only enhancing teaching efficiency but
also redefining the dynamics of modern classrooms. Our research investigates the usability
of AI-based platforms in social studies classrooms through action research, providing
valuable insights into the broader context of AI’s role as a classroom assistant and its
implications for pedagogical practices in various subjects, including social studies.
A study about ‘Application research of computer artiﬁcial intelligence in college student
sports autonomous learning by Ge, X., et al. (2018), applies artificial intelligence (AI)
technology to address challenges in college-level physical education, particularly in the
context of autonomous learning by students. The authors identify several issues
13
contributing to the generally low sports proficiency among college students, including a
shortage of qualified teachers, weak foundational knowledge, and limited awareness of
autonomous learning.
To mitigate these challenges, the study explores the potential of AI technology,
which aims to understand and replicate human intelligence processes, to enhance physical
education in colleges. Specifically, the authors highlight the synergy between AI and the
internet in tackling issues related to teacher shortages and the need for diverse teaching
methods.
The article proceeds by providing an introductory overview of AI, encompassing its
principles, characteristics, and application domains. It then delves into a detailed analysis of
the system requirements, overall structure, database prerequisites, and system workflow.
The study focuses on the application of the BP neural network within the field of AI to
design a system that promotes student autonomous learning.
Practically, the authors implement an AI-based college student sports autonomous
learning system within the Visual Studio integrated open environment, operating within a
browser/server system architecture, and utilizing the SQL Server database on the Windows
platform. The resulting system fosters intelligence and autonomy in learning by offering
intelligent features, open self-evaluation tests, and effective learning feedback mechanisms
for college students.
The adoption of AI in autonomous learning is important, not only in improving the sports
proficiency of college students but also in alleviating the teaching burden on educators. The
system's capacity to provide tailored, intelligent learning experiences contributes to
enhancing students' sports levels and promoting self-directed learning.

In response to the identified problems in traditional computer laboratories, the
research aims to enhance students' practical skills and inquiry-based learning through
experimentation with the assistance of AI paradigms. The authors adopt a design science
methodology to introduce the concept of an Intelligent Virtual Laboratory (IVL) based on a
pedagogical agent-based cognitive architecture (PACA). This IVL is designed to meet the
stringent requirements of laboratory work and, importantly, provides students with the
means to efficiently conduct practical tasks online from any location.
The research findings indicate that the IVL represents a significant model for improving
student learning, particularly in practical-based courses. It offers a solution to the
challenges posed by traditional computer laboratories, enhancing the accessibility and

Research Design
Considering the nature of the study and the statement of the problem, the researchers
utilized the quantitative research design to determine the effect of the Utilization of Chat-
GPT in improving academic performance of the students in the social studies classroom.
According to Babbie (2010), quantitative methods emphasize objective measurements
37
and statistical, mathematical, or numerical analysis of data collected through polls,
questionnaires, and surveys, or by manipulating pre-existing statistical data using
computational techniques. Quantitative research focuses on gathering numerical data and
generalizing it across groups of people or to explain a particular phenomenon. Thus, this
study is a one group pretest-posttest design.
Research Method
The researchers used quasi-experimental research method to determine the
Usability of Artificial Intelligence in improving academic performance of the students in the
social studies classroom. This method was used to gather information from the
respondents through the use of Researchers made Questions.
Respondents of the study
The primary respondents of this research study were the Grade 8 students of
Himamaylan National High School enrolled in the academic year 2022-2023. Data gathering
Instrument used in this study was the duly validated researcher’s –made questionnaire
sourced out from the grade 8 social studies lesson. A table of specifications was done to
have an equal distribution of test questions per lesson.
Research Instrument
In this case, two kinds of tests were done by the researcher, these are as follows:
a. Pretest.
A Pre-test is the test that was given to 30 Grade 8 students of Himamaylan National High
School. The test is conducted to determine the student's academic performance
38
before implementing the intervention. In this pre-test, the researcher asked the
grade 8 students to answer a thirty-item multiple-choice test.
b. Posttest.
The Post-test is the test that was given to grade 8 students of Himamaylan National High
School to measure the student's academic performance using Chat-GPT. In this
post-test, the researcher asked the Grade eight students to answer the same test
items in the pre-test, but the items were reshuffled. It consists of thirty items of
multiple-choice tests. To accomplish this study, the researchers used the researcher-
made pre-test and post-test and lesson plans used in conducting the intervention.
Validity of the instrument
According to Buntins, et. Al., (2017), validity is widely understood as the degree
to which a test measures what it should measure. The thirty (30) sets of questionnaires of
the research instrument were subjected to validation under the examination of the three
jurors considered experts in the field of study.
Reliability of the Instruments
According to Bannigan and Watson (2009), reliability contains the concepts of internal
consistency stability, and equivalence. Hence, after the incorporation of all the
recommendations and suggestions to the instrument as directed by the jurors thus
establishing the validity of the instrument, the researcher advanced to the establishment of
its reliability and item analysis via a test of internal consistency using the Kruder Richardson
39
20 (KR20). The said test was conducted on 35 grade 8 students of Raymundo Tongson
National High School who are not to be included in the actual participants of the study.
After the administration of the test, the researchers analyze each item to determine what
should be retained, revised, and rejected. Hence, the obtained value of Cronbach Alphatest
was 0.713, this was interpreted as reliable. The instrument therefore was considered
acceptable.
Data Gathering Procedure
In gathering the data, the researchers first made six (6) lesson plans and it was
validated by the experts in the field of Social Studies. The instrument was finalized first by
the researchers and was validated by the experts.
Then the researchers asked the go-to signal of the adviser to conduct the study.
For permission to conduct the study, the researchers sent a letter of request to the office of
the principal of Himamaylan National High School. Likewise, the researcher sent a letter to
the grade 8 advisers of the said school asking their permission to allow their students to be
respondents of the study. The researcher introduces the intervention of Chat-GPT in the
activity part of the lesson. The researcher then explains how to use the Chat-GPT and give
students the topic that they will be searching. The intervention lasted for 3 weeks, every
Monday and Tuesday, two (2) times a week.
Assured of the principal and advisers’ approval, the researchers then conducted the study to
grade 8 levels.
The researchers instructed the students on what they were supposed to do. Thus, they
explained the relevance of the said study and emphasized that the result would be kept
40
confidential. After administering the test, the researchers themselves retrieved them from
the respondents. Results were scored, tallied, classified, and tabulated.
Data Analysis Procedure
For Statement of Problem No. 1, to determine the level of student’s Academic
Performance before and after the intervention, the mean and standard deviation were used.
For Statement of Problem No. 2, to determine the significant difference between the
level of student's Academic Performance before and after the intervention, the Wilcoxon
signed ranks test was utilized.

Results and discussion
This chapter presents the analysis and interpretations of the data obtained for the study.
It consists of two parts: (1) Descriptive Data Analysis; and (2) Inferential Data Analysis.
Part one, Descriptive Data Analysis, presents the level of student Academic Performance
Before and After the intervention.
Part two, Inferential Data Analysis, Presents the significant difference between the pre-test
and post-test of the participants who were exposed to Chat-GPT.
Descriptive Data Analysis
This study was conducted to determine the utilization of Chat-GPT in improving the
Academic Performance of the Students in a Social Studies Classroom at Himamaylan
National High School.
Table 1. Level of Students Academic Performance Before and After the Intervention
Variable N Mean Descriptive SD
Interpretation
Before 30 18.57 High level 3.12

After 30 27.53 Very High level 1.78
Note: 24.01-30.00 “Very high level”; 18.01-24.00 “High level”; 12.01-18.00 “Average level “; 6.01-12.00 “Low
level”;0.00-6.00 “Very low level”
The table 1 shows the level of students before and after the intervention. The
42
initial mean score of M=18.5; SD=3.12 before the intervention indicates an average pre-
intervention academic performance, suggesting a high level of achievement among the
students. However, the subsequent mean score of M=27.53;
SD=1.78 after the intervention signifies a remarkable improvement, reaching a very high
level. This substantial shift implies that, on average, students demonstrated a significantly
enhanced academic performance after the incorporation of Chat-GPT.
One possible explanation for this improvement could be attributed to the
personalized and adaptive nature of Chat-GPT interventions. The Chat-GPT system might
have tailored learning experiences to individual student needs, addressing specific
weaknesses and providing targeted support. This customization likely contributed to a more
effective and focused learning process, resulting in improved academic outcomes.
Moreover, the observed increase in academic performance aligns with the claim
(Dekker, 2020) regarding the potential of AI, particularly in the form of chatbots, to
positively impact students' academic achievements. The interactive and engaging features
of AI, combined with the personalized learning experiences, could have contributed to a
more stimulating and effective educational environment.
It is essential to delve deeper into the specific aspects of the AI intervention that
led to such positive outcomes, understanding the mechanisms and features that played a
pivotal role in enhancing students' academic performance. Additionally, exploring the
students' perceptions and experiences with AI in the learning process can provide valuable
insights into the effectiveness and usability of AI in the academic context.
43
The notable transformation in students' academic performance, as evidenced by
the mean scores before and after the AI intervention, raises intriguing discussions on the
effectiveness and implications of AI in enhancing educational outcomes. The observed
improvement from an average pre-intervention score of 18.57 to a post-intervention score
of 27.53, indicating a shift from an average to a very high level of academic performance,
underscores the potential of AI interventions in the educational landscape.
Literature supports the idea that personalized and adaptive learning experiences
facilitated by AI contribute significantly to academic improvement. Studies such as that of
Anderson and Rainie (2018) emphasize the power of personalized learning technologies in
tailoring educational content to individual student needs, thereby enhancing comprehension
