Artificial intelligence is becoming an essential tool for teaching and learning globally. This study investigated the awareness of senior secondary school Islamic Studies teachers in Kwara State, Nigeria, regarding the use of artificial intelligence in teaching. A descriptive survey research design was adopted, involving a population of all senior secondary school teachers in the state. An adapted questionnaire titled “Secondary School Islamic Studies Teachers’ Level of Awareness in the Use of Artificial Intelligence for Teaching (SSISTLAAIT),” with a reliability index of 0.83, was used. Administered via WhatsApp, 298 out of 680 participants (43.8%) responded, with male teachers representing the majority. The study revealed significant differences in awareness levels between male and female teachers. It concluded that Islamic Studies teachers have a high level of awareness of AI use in teaching. Recommendations include organizing government-led seminars and workshops to promote effective AI integration in education.
