Background of the Study
With the growing demand for personalized and efficient learning in secondary schools, the use of AI-based teaching assistants is becoming increasingly important. In Dutse Local Government Area, Jigawa State, schools face challenges related to limited teaching staff, overburdened teachers, and the need to cater to diverse student needs. AI-powered teaching assistants can help alleviate these challenges by providing personalized learning support, automating routine administrative tasks, and assisting with lesson delivery.
An AI-based teaching assistant can engage students in real-time, answer questions, assist with homework, and provide additional learning resources tailored to each student’s needs. By integrating AI into the learning process, students can receive more focused attention, while teachers can devote more time to high-level instruction and student interaction. The system would be designed to interact with students using natural language processing (NLP), provide feedback on assignments, and track student progress. Technologies like Python for machine learning, TensorFlow for NLP models, and Flask for back-end development will be used to create a user-friendly, web-based platform.
Statement of the Problem
Secondary schools in Dutse Local Government Area are faced with challenges such as large class sizes, insufficient teaching staff, and a need for more personalized attention for students. These challenges impact the quality of education and hinder effective teaching. The lack of resources and support tools for teachers leads to less effective learning outcomes for students, especially those who may need additional support.
