Background of the Study
Academic advising plays a vital role in supporting students throughout their academic journey by providing guidance on course selection, career advice, and personal development. However, the traditional methods of academic advising, which often rely on one-on-one meetings with advisors, can be resource-intensive and time-consuming, leading to inconsistent levels of support for students (Ogunyemi & Akinbode, 2023). With the growing student population in many universities, there is a need for more efficient and scalable solutions to provide personalized academic guidance. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize academic advising by offering data-driven, personalized recommendations tailored to each student's academic performance, career goals, and personal preferences (Jones et al., 2024).
In the context of Gombe State University, an AI-based personalized academic advising system could serve as an intelligent virtual advisor, providing real-time advice to students and assisting faculty members in offering timely support (Khan et al., 2023). Such a system would analyze data on academic performance, past course selections, and even student interests to offer tailored suggestions for course planning and career development. This study aims to investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of an AI-based personalized academic advising system at Gombe State University.
Statement of the Problem
Gombe State University faces challenges in offering consistent and personalized academic advising to its large student population. Traditional academic advising methods are not sufficient to cater to the growing number of students and often lack the data-driven insights necessary for tailored advice. This leads to inefficiencies in academic planning, delays in decision-making, and unmet student needs. The study aims to assess whether AI-powered systems can address these issues and improve the quality and accessibility of academic advising.
