Background of the study
In today’s educational landscape, data-driven decision-making is crucial for enhancing student outcomes. In secondary schools within Minna LGA, traditional methods of assessing educational performance are often limited to periodic examinations and manual record-keeping, which fail to capture real-time trends in student learning. IoT-based smart educational performance analytics systems offer a transformative solution by leveraging sensors, digital assessment tools, and cloud-based data analytics to continuously monitor student performance (Babatunde, 2023). These systems collect data from interactive learning platforms, classroom activities, and online assessments, enabling educators to gain a comprehensive understanding of student progress. Real-time analytics allow for the early detection of learning difficulties and enable timely interventions that can be tailored to individual student needs (Ibrahim, 2024). The integration of such systems into secondary school environments promotes personalized learning, facilitates continuous teacher feedback, and enhances overall academic performance. Furthermore, the data aggregated from these systems can inform policy decisions, curriculum development, and teacher training programs, contributing to a more effective educational ecosystem. Despite the promising potential, challenges such as high costs, limited digital infrastructure, and concerns regarding data privacy and security remain barriers to implementation. This study aims to investigate the operational performance of IoT-based smart educational performance analytics systems in secondary schools in Minna LGA, evaluating their impact on student outcomes and identifying critical challenges that need to be addressed to ensure successful adoption (Babatunde, 2023; Ibrahim, 2024).
Statement of the problem
Secondary schools in Minna LGA continue to rely on outdated assessment methods that do not provide real-time insights into student performance. The traditional approach to educational analytics, which involves periodic examinations and manual grading, is insufficient for addressing the dynamic needs of modern classrooms. Consequently, educators struggle to identify and support students who are falling behind, resulting in suboptimal learning outcomes. Although IoT-based educational performance analytics systems have the potential to deliver continuous monitoring and immediate feedback, their adoption in secondary schools is hindered by several factors. High implementation costs, inadequate digital infrastructure, and concerns over data privacy and security have limited the integration of these systems into everyday classroom practices (Ibrahim, 2024). Additionally, there is a lack of technical expertise among educators to effectively utilize the data provided by these systems, further impeding their potential benefits. The absence of a comprehensive, real-time analytics framework contributes to a reactive rather than proactive educational environment. This study seeks to address these challenges by evaluating the effectiveness of IoT-based performance analytics in secondary schools and by identifying technical, operational, and pedagogical barriers. The ultimate aim is to develop strategies that will optimize the use of digital analytics to enhance student learning, improve teacher responsiveness, and inform policy development in the educational sector (Babatunde, 2023).
