Abstract

Geographic education faces significant challenges in engaging contemporary students and integrating emerging technologies effectively. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an AI-based educational program designed to develop geographic virtual tour design skills and enhance technological engagement. A quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test measurements was employed with 60 fourth-year geography students from Al-Azhar University. The AI-based educational program was developed using the ADDIE instructional design model. Participants' performance was assessed using three instruments: Geographic Virtual Tour Design Skills Achievement Test (GVTDS-AT), Geographic Virtual Tour Design Skills Performance Observation (GVTDS-PO), and a Technological Engagement Scale. Results revealed statistically significant improvements (p < 0.01) across all measured variables, with very large effect sizes ranging from 3.30 to 17.32. Theoretical knowledge scores increased from 19.88 to 59.18 (Cohen's d = 7.20), while practical performance improved from 27.91 to 99.78 (Cohen's d = 9.41). All technological engagement dimensions showed substantial improvements, with the total engagement score increasing from 74.51 to 173.23 (Cohen's d = 17.32). These findings demonstrate that AI-based educational programs can effectively enhance both geographic virtual tour design competencies and technological engagement, modernizing geographic education and preparing future educators with essential digital skills.
