Abstract

The present study sought to assess the impact of a virtual training platform, underpinned by artificial intelligence, on the development of smart board skills among English language teachers. This research employed a mixed-methods approach, combining both descriptive and experimental research methodologies. The study was conducted with a sample of English language teachers in Al Ain city, who were divided into two experimental groups. The first group utilised a standard virtual training platform, while the second group engaged with a platform incorporating artificial intelligence (AI). Data were analysed using an achievement test and a skills observation card for the smart board. The findings indicated statistically significant differences (at the 0.5 level) in favour of the group using the AI-based virtual training platform, with a mastery level of 80%. These results clearly demonstrate the positive impact of artificial intelligence technology on the development of smart board skills.
