Background of the Study
Student feedback is a vital component of educational quality assurance, offering insights that can drive improvements in teaching, curriculum design, and institutional policies. At Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi State, traditional methods of collecting and analyzing student feedback often involve manual surveys and qualitative analysis, which can be time-consuming and prone to bias. AI-based student feedback analysis systems leverage natural language processing and machine learning algorithms to automate the extraction of meaningful insights from large volumes of qualitative data (Umar, 2023). These systems can analyze comments, ratings, and open-ended responses to identify trends, sentiment, and areas requiring improvement in real time (Ibrahim, 2024).
The use of AI in feedback analysis not only enhances the speed and accuracy of data processing but also provides a more nuanced understanding of student experiences. By categorizing feedback into themes and measuring sentiment intensity, the system can offer actionable recommendations for academic and administrative improvements. Furthermore, continuous learning capabilities allow the system to adapt over time, improving its analytical accuracy and responsiveness to emerging issues (Aminu, 2025). Despite these advantages, challenges such as ensuring the contextual accuracy of automated interpretations and addressing potential biases in the analysis remain significant. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of AI-based feedback analysis systems at Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, comparing them with traditional methods and exploring their potential to enhance decision-making processes in higher education (Umar, 2023; Ibrahim, 2024; Aminu, 2025).
Statement of the Problem
Although student feedback is crucial for institutional improvement, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University faces challenges in efficiently analyzing the vast amounts of qualitative data collected through traditional methods. Manual analysis of student feedback is not only labor-intensive but also susceptible to subjective bias, leading to potential misinterpretations of the data (Umar, 2023). The current feedback mechanisms fail to provide timely insights, thereby delaying necessary interventions and improvements. Moreover, the lack of automated systems means that subtle trends and emerging issues in student satisfaction may go unnoticed. Additionally, while AI-based feedback analysis offers a promising alternative, concerns regarding the accuracy of sentiment analysis, contextual understanding, and algorithmic bias have limited its adoption (Ibrahim, 2024). Data privacy and ethical considerations in processing sensitive student opinions further complicate the situation. Consequently, the university is in need of a robust, AI-driven feedback analysis system that can provide accurate, timely, and actionable insights to support continuous improvement in academic and administrative practices (Aminu, 2025).
