The study analyzed school location and school type as determinants of academic performance of senior secondary school biology students exposed to chatbot ai or expository method. This study adopted a quasi-experimental pretest post-test non randomize control group design. This research will be conducted in Akwa Ibom State. The population of this study consisted of 30,985 Senior Secondary School two students offering Biology as a subject in 227 Secondary schools in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. A total number of 600 senior secondary school three male and female in sciences offering biology as a subject (280 males and 320 females) were divided into control and treatment groups. The researcher developed instrument called Biology Performance Test (BPT). They validation was done through content, and face validity. The researcher then incorporated all corrections into the work. Kuder-Richardson formula 21. test-retest method was used to accessed the reliability at 0.05 level of reliability. Descriptive Statistics of Mean and Standard Deviation was used to present data for answering research questions. The study showed that urban and rural students performed equally high when exposed to Chatbot AI. And also, that mixed and single sex school students performed equally high when exposed to Chatbot AI. It was also revealed in the study that school location and school type did not significantly affect academic performance in Biology of students exposed to Chatbot AI. On this basis the study concluded that the utilization of Chatbot AI in teaching and learning Biology concepts is more effective than the use of traditional expository method because Chatbot AI engages students in interactive conversations, provide immediate feedback and reinforce biological knowledge which can encourage critical thinking in the students thereby improving their academic performance in Biology. One of the recommendations made was that Akwa Ibom State governments should provide in-service training and professional development opportunities for educators to effectively utilize Chatbot AI technology in the classroom. This can lead to a more educated, updated and skilled workforce.
