Abstract
The main purpose of the study was to determine the in-service training needs of electrical/electronics technology educators in the use of artificial intelligence for quality service delivery in Enugu State. The study was guided by two research questions and two null hypotheses. A survey research design was adopted for the study. The population used for the study was 26 electrical/electronics technology educators in three tertiary institutions offering electrical/electronics technology programme in Enugu State. There was no sampling due to the manageable size of the population. The instrument used for data collection was a19-item structured questionnaire grouped into two sections according to the research questions that guided the study. The items were structured in four-point rating scale. The instrument was validated and the reliability of the instrument was determined using Cronbach Alpha which yielded 0.81. Out of 26 copies distributed, 24 copies were returned giving 92.31% return rate. Mean, standard deviation and t-test statistics were the statistical tools used. Based on the data analysis, the study identified the in-service training needs of electrical/electronics technology educators in the use of artificial intelligence in lesson preparation and assessment of students for quality service delivery in Enugu State. Based on the findings of the study recommendations were made among which include; that electrical/electronics technology educators should be provided with in-service training on the use of AI in preparing and assessment of students learning as digital age demand and government should provide resources for in-services training of electrical/electronics technology educators in the use of AI in teaching.
