Abstract: This study is on Assessing the Impacts of Artificial Intelligence on Teacher Education and Competencies in Owerri Education Zone One of Imo State. The study was guided by four research questions. Owerri Education Zone One is comprised of three Local Government Areas which are; Owerri Municipal, Owerri North and Owerri West. The population of this study is comprised of all secondary school teachers in Public Secondary Schools in Owerri Education Zone One, Imo State. The population of teachers in Public Secondary Schools in Owerri Zone 1 is comprised of 1102 teachers. Purposive sampling technique was used to select 4 schools of both Junior Secondary Schools and Senior Secondary Schools from each Local Government Area in Owerri Zone 1. The sample comprised of 300 teachers in Owerri Zone One. Simple proportionate random sampling technique was used in selecting 75 teachers from each of the LGA. The instrument for data collection was a structured questionnaire titled “Artificial Intelligence on Teacher Education and Competencies Questionnaire (AITECQ).” The reliability of the instrument was established using Cronbach alpha coefficient which yielded an index of 0.96. Data collected was and analysed using mean and standard deviation. The findings show that teachers in Owerri Zone One have little or no idea of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the integration of teacher education. Hence, the current teacher education curriculum does not incorporate AI-related topics or skills, leaving teachers unprepared to leverage AI in their teaching practices. The findings also show that teachers are not familiar with AI-powered educational tools. The study recommended that Government should develop and implement comprehensive training programmes for teachers to enhance their AI-infused pedagogical skills and build their confidence in using AI tools.

It is written in honour of Professor Romy Okoye, on his retirement from active service from Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Nigeria after meritorious years of service as a distinguished professional teacher educator, an academic giant and rock of great repute in the field of educational measurement and evaluation, research and statistics. The book is a collection of a rich number of diverse contributions by colleagues, students, mentees, friends and collaborators from all over Nigeria. Professor Romy Okoye is a seasoned academic, a rugged and dogged scholar, who constantly not only queries the status quo but proffers solution to knotty problems that defy solutions. He is an exemplary educator of great repute who has made an indelible mark in the field of Educational Evaluation, Research and Statistics, as well as Education in general. We celebrate the man, who has no place for absenteeism, lateness, laziness, favouritism, sorting and myriads of contemporary problems in the present day higher education in Nigeria through this Festschrift written in his honour. Professor Romy Okoye has over the years steered his passion into teaching and research which proved to be an excellent medium for initiating thousands of students and colleagues to the beauty of educational evaluation, research and statistics. Contributions of scholars in honour of Professor Romy Okoye are presented in 42 chapters covering mainly topics and issues relating to educational measurement and evaluation, educational research, and other related areas in education. Topics in educational measurement include: test item calibration and arrangement; peer and self-assessment; development and validation of achievement tests; item analysis; continuous assessment; assessment of big data; and programme evaluation, among others. Chapters under research and statistics dwelt on issues in developing research skills, effective research project supervision, and research tools; while those under general education focused on security challenges, curriculum development, inclusive education, psychosocial development, philosophy and human development, self-regulation in academic success, among others. This book is a compendium of relevant topics in educational measurement and evaluation, research and statistics, effective teaching and management practices and interesting topics in education. It is a must read for students, researchers and other stakeholders in education. Scholars who desire to grow in the field of education will find this book an indispensable companion. We are greatly indebted to colleagues, students, mentees, friends, and collaborators of Professor Romy Okoye who contributed in no small measure in making this dream come true.
