NAVIGATING POSTGRADUATE RESEARCH IN UNIVERSITY OF CALABAR THROUGH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI): IMPLICATIONS FOR SKILL DEVELOPMENT, MENTORSHIP AND SUPERVISION
ABSTRACT
The study investigated the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in postgraduate research, focusing on its potential to enhance research skills, mentorship, and supervision. It aimed at identifying the benefits of AI tools for postgraduate students and their mentors, as well as the challenges faced in adopting these technologies. Three research questions were adopted for this study. Survey design utilizing “Postgraduate research skills and Artificial Intelligence Partnership questionnaire’ was used to gather data. Stratified and accidental sampling technique was used to select a sample of 354 out of a population of 1,768 postgraduate students from the University of Calabar. The instrument’s Cronbach reliability estimates were 0.78, 0.80 and 0.84 for the research skills, research mentorship/supervision and challenges encountered by postgraduate students. Instrument’s validity was assessed by four experts in Educational Technology, Educational Psychology, Research, Measurement, and Evaluation departments. The findings revealed that most students surveyed were grappling with their research activities due to limited understanding of AI tools. It was recommended that urgent steps be taken by various faculties through training workshops and seminars to expose students to workable optimizing AI-driven strategies in order to boost their skills development, encourage effective mentorship and supervision within higher education thus fostering a more effective research environment.
