Background of the study
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in education has revolutionized teaching and learning experiences across the globe, particularly through the use of educational chatbots. AI-powered chatbots are becoming increasingly popular as tools for facilitating personalized learning, providing real-time support, and enhancing student engagement. These chatbots are capable of answering questions, guiding students through lessons, and offering tailored content based on individual learning needs. In Gusau Local Government Area (LGA) of Zamfara State, where access to quality educational resources and personalized learning opportunities can be limited, AI-powered educational chatbots have the potential to bridge these gaps. By providing on-demand assistance and creating a more interactive learning environment, chatbots can help address the challenges faced by students in both urban and rural settings. This study seeks to explore the effectiveness and impact of AI-powered educational chatbots in enhancing learning experiences for secondary school students in Gusau LGA, Zamfara State.
Statement of the problem
In Gusau LGA, Zamfara State, many students face challenges such as overcrowded classrooms, limited access to qualified teachers, and insufficient resources for learning. These issues contribute to low student engagement, poor academic performance, and limited opportunities for personalized learning. Traditional educational methods may not be sufficient to address these challenges, and there is a need for innovative solutions that can supplement conventional teaching practices. AI-powered educational chatbots have the potential to provide continuous, interactive, and personalized learning support. However, there is a lack of research on the feasibility and effectiveness of implementing such technologies in the specific context of Gusau LGA, Zamfara State.
