Abstract :
Globally, educational systems are changing due to the introduction of technological innovations that use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve the processes of teaching and learning. AI technology also creates an opportunity for students to develop digital literacy, computational thinking, and problem-solving skills in their studies of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) within school education. This research project focusses on how AI has enhanced digital learning through computational thinking for secondary students enrolled in ICT classes following international curricula. This study was conducted using a descriptive survey research approach that included a conceptual analysis of data that was collected through a perceptual based survey. The survey sample consisted of secondary school students from Grades 8-10 who completed a structured survey (questionnaire) that contained 10 statements associated with learning supported by AI. The data was collected from 48 students and presented their perceptions related to the use of AI technologies in ICT education. The results of this research suggest that secondary school students perceived AI supported learning tools as having a substantial positive impact on these students; engagement, ability to problem-solve and improve their computational thinking skills. This study also indicated the importance of implementing concepts and ideas associated with AI into the school ICT curriculum in order for students to be better prepared for future careers that will be driven by technology. Additionally, AI supported learning environments will significantly enhance digital learning in secondary schools when they are appropriately supported by technology infrastructures and the methodologies and techniques utilized by teachers.
