CHAPTER V

Conclusion
The study concludes that Pinut-an National High School students perceive AI tools as valuable
assets in the classroom, capable of enhancing academic performance and fostering innovative
learning experiences. However, the effective utilization of these tools requires addressing
challenges related to accessibility, training, and balancing technology with traditional methods.
Students' perceptions are shaped by their familiarity with AI tools, the perceived ease of use,
and the benefits they experience in their academic pursuits. While AI tools hold significant
promise, their integration into education must be approached cautiously, ensuring inclusivity,
ethical considerations, and adequate teacher involvement.
The findings underscore the importance of fostering digital literacy among students and
teachers, promoting equitable access to AI resources, and maintaining a supportive learning
environment that blends technology with human expertise.
Recommendations
Based on the research "Perceptions of Pinut-an High School Students Toward the Utilization of
AI Tools in the Classroom" with a total of 45 respondents, we would like to provide the
following recommendations:

1. Capacity Building:
Conduct workshops and training sessions for both students and teachers to improve digital
literacy and familiarity with AI tools.
Provide ongoing technical support to address challenges in using AI technologies.
2. Equitable Access:
Ensure that AI tools and necessary devices are accessible to all students, regardless of
socioeconomic background.
Invest in the school’s technological infrastructure to support seamless AI integration.
3. Teacher Involvement:
Encourage teachers to play an active role in guiding students' use of AI tools, offering
contextual insights and fostering critical thinking skills.
Provide professional development programs for teachers to enhance their capacity to integrate
AI into their teaching methods effectively.
4. Policy Development:
Collaborate with educational policymakers to create guidelines for the ethical and responsible
use of AI tools in education.
Develop policies to safeguard student data privacy and ensure secure use of AI technologies.
5. Student Feedback Mechanisms:
Establish regular feedback channels for students to voice their experiences, challenges, and
suggestions regarding AI tools.
Use this feedback to refine the implementation of AI technologies continuously.
6. Balancing Approaches:
Promote a hybrid learning approach that combines the strengths of AI tools with traditional
teaching methods to ensure a well-rounded educational experience.
Emphasize the development of critical thinking, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills
alongside technological proficiency.
By implementing these recommendations, Pinut-an National High School can harness the full
potential of AI tools to create a more engaging, effective, and inclusive learning environment,
