Are you AI-Ready?: Attitudes Towards the Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-Powered Tools in the Phases of Reading

This study was conducted to determine students' attitudes towards the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in phases of reading. The study presented the Grade 10 learners attitudes towards using artificial intelligence (AI) in phases of reading (pre-reading, while reading, and post-reading). To determine learners’ attitudes a researcher-made checklist was used. The 30-item statements are divided into three parts corresponding to the three reading phases. This is to find out which among the statements the reading phases be more appropriate for them to use AI tools. Based on the findings and results of the study, the means of these three groups are not significantly different from each other, as they are included in the same subset at a significance level a of 0.05. The mean scores (3.5533–3.6567) fall within the range 3.40–4.19, which corresponds to "High" levels of attitudes toward the use of AI-powered tools.
