Background of the Study
Attendance monitoring is a critical aspect of academic administration in universities and polytechnics. Federal Polytechnic, Idah, located in Idah LGA, Kogi State, faces challenges with the traditional attendance monitoring system, which relies on manual recording or paper-based methods. These systems are prone to errors, delays, and are time-consuming. With the advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), automated attendance monitoring systems have become increasingly popular for improving accuracy and efficiency.
This study aims to compare the effectiveness of traditional attendance systems with AI-based systems, such as facial recognition and RFID, at Federal Polytechnic, Idah. By exploring both methods, the research will evaluate the advantages and limitations of each system, particularly in terms of accuracy, ease of implementation, and student satisfaction.
Statement of the Problem
The traditional attendance monitoring system at Federal Polytechnic, Idah is prone to human error, time wastage, and inefficiency. The need for an automated solution that improves the accuracy of attendance tracking and reduces administrative overhead is critical. AI-based attendance systems offer a potential solution, but their effectiveness in this context has not been fully explored.
Objectives of the Study
1. To compare the accuracy and efficiency of traditional and AI-based attendance monitoring systems at Federal Polytechnic, Idah.
2. To assess the ease of implementation and usability of AI-based attendance systems in a university setting.
3. To investigate the student and staff perceptions of AI-based attendance systems.
Research Questions
1. How does the accuracy of AI-based attendance systems compare to traditional attendance methods?
2. What are the benefits and drawbacks of using AI-based attendance monitoring systems in a university environment?
3. How do students and staff perceive the use of AI for attendance tracking?
Research Hypotheses
1. AI-based attendance monitoring systems will be more accurate and efficient compared to traditional methods.
2. Students and staff will have a more positive perception of AI-based attendance systems than traditional ones.
3. The implementation of AI-based attendance systems will reduce administrative workload and improve attendance accuracy at Federal Polytechnic, Idah.
Significance of the Study
This study will provide insights into the potential benefits of AI-based attendance systems, demonstrating their effectiveness in improving accuracy, efficiency, and administrative processes. It will contribute to the wider adoption of AI technology in higher education institutions, especially in the context of attendance management.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study will focus on comparing traditional and AI-based attendance systems at Federal Polytechnic, Idah. It will not delve into other aspects of academic administration or broader AI applications in higher education.
