Abstract: This study explores high school science teachers’ perceptions, benefits, challenges, and strategies regarding the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in science research instruction in the Philippines. Employing a qualitative research design, data were collected through written interviews with purposively selected science research teachers and analyzed using thematic coding. Findings reveal that teachers recognize the potential of AI tools (i.e., ChatGPT, Scite, and Litmaps) to enhance instructional efficiency, personalize learning, and facilitate research processes. However, significant barriers persist, including limited technological infrastructure, insufficient training, and ethical concerns related to plagiarism and over-reliance on automation. Teachers adopt collaborative and adaptive strategies, such as peer learning and professional development, to navigate these challenges and emphasize the importance of guiding students in responsible AI use. The study emphasizes the need for holistic support (i.e., encompassing technical, pedagogical, and ethical dimensions) to maximize the benefits of AI in science education while safeguarding academic integrity. Insights from this research can inform policy, curriculum development, and professional learning initiatives aimed at equitable and effective AI integration in Philippine schools.
