Abstract


Integration of artificial intelligence in the education field has brought tremendous development to teaching and learning processes. The study examined prospects and challenges of integrating artificial intelligence into Office Technology and Management pedagogy. A descriptive survey design was used for the study. Two research questions guided the study. The population of the study comprised 31 academic members of staff of Office Technology and Management Department in three public tertiary institutions in Osun State offering OTM programme. A census survey was employed for the study. A structured questionnaire with 25 items was used to collect data from the respondents. The instrument was validated by two experts in the Department of Business and Entrepreneurship Education, Kwara State University, Malete, Kwara State. Mean and standard deviation were used to analyse the data collected to answer the research questions. Based on the findings of the study, it was concluded that integration of artificial intelligence into Office Technology and Management pedagogy has potential prospects, thereby enhancing students’ engagement and academic outcomes. The integration of artificial intelligence also faces significant challenges that hinder the effective integration of artificial intelligence-driven educational initiatives. It was recommended among others that NBTE should ensure regular review and update of OTM curriculum to reflect artificial intelligence instructions for effective integration in schools while management of tertiary institutions should provide adequate artificial intelligence tools with enabling environment that will enhance acquisition of artificial intelligence skills for job effectiveness in a technology-driven world.
