Background of the Study
Personalized learning is a pedagogical approach that tailors educational content and methods to meet the individual needs, interests, and learning styles of students. With advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), personalized learning has been enhanced by the use of AI-powered systems that can create customized learning paths for students (Okafor & Bello, 2023). In secondary schools, particularly in Makurdi Local Government Area, Benue State, AI-based learning systems have started to be used to offer individualized learning experiences. These systems can adapt content, pace, and assessment methods based on the student’s learning progress and preferences, offering a more engaging and effective learning environment.
While AI-based learning tools have been praised for their potential to improve student outcomes, the effectiveness of these tools in the context of secondary schools in Makurdi remains largely unexplored. Personalized AI learning systems can provide tailored content, immediate feedback, and encourage independent learning, yet challenges such as access to technology, teacher training, and the alignment of AI tools with local curricula need to be addressed. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of AI-based personalized learning paths in secondary schools in Makurdi, aiming to determine their impact on student engagement, academic achievement, and overall learning experiences.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the growing interest in AI-based personalized learning tools, their effectiveness in secondary schools in Makurdi has not been well-documented. Concerns about the ability of these tools to meet local educational needs, as well as issues such as insufficient infrastructure and teacher readiness, may affect the success of these technologies. The study seeks to investigate whether AI-based learning paths effectively improve student outcomes in Makurdi’s secondary schools.
