Background of the Study
Student motivation is a key factor that influences academic achievement and engagement. In secondary schools, particularly in Damaturu Local Government Area, Yobe State, many students struggle with low motivation and face challenges in keeping up with the curriculum. Traditional teaching methods may not be sufficiently engaging for all students, leading to disengagement and decreased performance. Personalized learning, which tailors educational content to the individual needs, preferences, and learning styles of students, has been shown to improve motivation by providing students with a sense of autonomy and relevance in their learning.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers a promising approach to personalized learning by analyzing student data to identify learning patterns, strengths, and areas for improvement. AI-driven systems can adapt content in real-time, providing personalized recommendations, feedback, and resources that cater to the unique needs of each student. These systems can help engage students more effectively by offering customized learning paths, adaptive assessments, and interactive content, which increases motivation by providing a more personalized and responsive learning experience.
