AI's Impact on Educational Leadership and Learning

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on educational leadership and learning at a public college in the Philippines. Through semi-structured interviews with seven educators, the research explores how AI influences decision-making, teaching practices, and student outcomes. The findings reveal that AI is increasingly influencing educational leaders' decision-making, offering data-driven insights and streamlining processes. However, concerns about ethical implications, such as data privacy and bias, highlight the need for careful consideration and responsible implementation. AI's impact on teaching practices is mixed. While AI tools can enhance student engagement and critical thinking, there are concerns about over-reliance and the need to balance AI with traditional teaching methods. The study concludes that AI holds significant potential to transform education, but careful planning, ethical considerations, and ongoing professional development are crucial for maximizing its benefits and mitigating potential risks. Further research is needed to understand the long-term impact of AI on student learning and the broader educational landscape.
