Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of an AI-supported Biology 3 unit on preventive medicine concepts among third-year secondary female students in Saudi Arabia, employing an experimental design that utilized virtual simulations, interactive activities, and project-based learning. Results indicated that the experimental group achieved significantly higher scores in health awareness and preventive knowledge with a strong effect size, suggesting that such AI tools effectively bolster student health literacy. While the study’s focus on a single, female-only setting necessitates broader replication across different regions to ensure generalizability, it provides valuable experimental evidence for the originality of AI-supported instruction, advocating for the systematic integration of preventive medicine into biology curricula alongside expanded AI tools and continuous teacher development.
