Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, data were collected from 100 students and 40 computer studies teachers from selected secondary schools. A Cronbach's Alpha value of 0.75 was considered acceptable for the scale to be deemed reliable for this study. Computer Applications System (CAS) was developed to gather information from the participants through structured questionnaires, with four Likert scales items was used, interviews and classroom observations was also adopted and the results were analyzed. 40 teachers were surveyed with 75% scores reportedly using AI tools regularly in their teaching process with significant improvement in their instructional delivery while 25% teachers shows concerns about using this new innovation. Among 100 students’ sampled in this study 80% participants showed an increase rate of academic performance with CAS engagement while only 15% scored low in their test with low academic performance. This study reveals that AI-driven instructional tools significantly improved students’ understanding of CAS, fostering personalized learning and engagement, provide real-time feedback, adaptive learning experiences, and improve retention of concepts, based on the test conducted during this research study. The study also revealed CAS as an helpful tools to teachers in the development of their lesson plan and instructional delivery of their academic activities. This study concludes that AI tools will play a transformative role in junior secondary education in lbeju-Lekki, Lagos State if incorporated into the schools activities by improving learning efficiency, instructional effectiveness and digital literacy.
