Abstract

The aim of this research is to explore the perspectives of teachers and students on whether there is a need to develop an AI-based learning application to enhance problem-solving skills in the topic of Force and Motion.  This research follows Polya’s Problem-Solving Model and is limited to the needs analysis phase with input from teachers and students. The data was collected through a questionnaire distributed to 3 teachers and 32 Form Four students taking Physics at Sekolah Menengah Sains Hulu Selangor (SEMASHUR), using a quantitative approach and purposive sampling technique. The collected data was analyzed descriptively and presented in frequencies and percentages. The survey results revealed that the average need among students is 87.5% and among teachers is 100%. Thus, it can be concluded that both teachers and students see a need for an AI-based learning application to improve problem-solving skills in the topic of Force and Motion, which is considered an abstract concept and requires diverse resources as teaching aids for effective learning. In conclusion, the majority of respondents gave positive feedback on the need to develop this AI-based learning application, particularly to aid teaching and learning (T&L) and enhance students’ problem-solving skills in the topic of Force and Motion.
