Background of the Study
Attendance monitoring is a crucial aspect of academic management, ensuring that students participate actively in their learning. Traditional attendance systems, which often rely on manual methods such as roll calls or paper registers, can be time-consuming and prone to errors. The introduction of AI-based attendance monitoring systems offers a more efficient and accurate approach, leveraging technologies such as facial recognition, biometric scanning, and voice recognition to automate attendance tracking. These systems can also provide real-time data analytics, identifying trends in student attendance and providing insights for academic intervention.
At Federal College of Education, Zaria, Kaduna State, attendance monitoring plays an essential role in maintaining academic integrity and ensuring that students are engaged in their courses. However, the college faces challenges related to inefficiency, human errors, and delays in reporting attendance data. The implementation of AI-based systems could streamline the attendance process and improve data accuracy, but a comparison with traditional methods is necessary to evaluate the advantages and challenges of this shift. This study will compare AI-based attendance systems with traditional methods to assess their effectiveness and suitability for improving attendance monitoring in the college.
Statement of the Problem
Traditional attendance monitoring methods in Nigerian educational institutions, including Federal College of Education, Zaria, are often inefficient, error-prone, and time-consuming. These issues may lead to delays in processing attendance data, inaccuracies, and difficulty in tracking student participation. On the other hand, AI-based attendance systems promise improved efficiency, accuracy, and real-time monitoring. However, there is a need for a comprehensive evaluation of the comparative effectiveness of AI-based and traditional systems in the context of Nigerian colleges. This study aims to assess the strengths and weaknesses of both systems to determine which approach is more suitable for the college.

Significance of the Study
The study will provide valuable insights into the potential advantages of AI-based attendance systems over traditional methods in Nigerian educational institutions. The findings will help policymakers, administrators, and educational managers make informed decisions about adopting AI-driven systems to improve efficiency, accuracy, and engagement in attendance monitoring.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
This study will focus on a comparative analysis of AI-based and traditional attendance monitoring systems at Federal College of Education, Zaria, Kaduna State. The study will be limited to a sample of students and administrative staff within the college and may not be generalizable to other institutions. Additionally, the study will focus on AI technologies that are currently available and implementable within the college’s existing infrastructure.
