Background of the Study
Personalized learning has emerged as a key strategy to improve educational outcomes by catering to individual student needs. Kano University of Science and Technology in Wudil, Kano State, is exploring AI-based methods for delivering personalized student learning experiences. These methods leverage machine learning algorithms and data analytics to customize educational content based on individual learning styles, pace, and performance. The adaptive nature of AI enables the creation of dynamic learning environments where instructional materials are continuously refined to meet the evolving needs of each student (Abdullahi, 2023; Suleiman, 2024). Traditional classroom settings often adopt a one-size-fits-all approach, which can leave some students behind and others unchallenged. AI-based personalized learning addresses this challenge by offering tailored pathways that not only enhance understanding but also motivate students to achieve their full potential. By analyzing data such as quiz scores, engagement metrics, and behavioral patterns, AI systems can identify knowledge gaps and suggest targeted interventions. Furthermore, personalized learning platforms provide immediate feedback, enabling students to track their progress and adjust their learning strategies in real time. This proactive approach facilitates continuous improvement and helps foster a deeper understanding of complex subjects. However, the implementation of AI-driven personalized learning is accompanied by challenges, including the need for substantial data infrastructure, concerns regarding student privacy, and the potential for algorithmic bias. Despite these hurdles, the promise of significantly improved academic performance and enhanced student satisfaction continues to drive interest in these technologies. This study aims to critically assess the effectiveness of AI-based methods in personalizing student learning at Kano University of Science and Technology. It will examine both the technological underpinnings of these methods and their impact on educational outcomes, providing a comprehensive overview of the potential and challenges of personalized learning in a higher education context (Fatima, 2025).
Statement of the Problem
Despite the growing global interest in personalized learning, Kano University of Science and Technology faces several obstacles in effectively implementing AI-based personalized learning methods. The traditional pedagogical model, which often emphasizes uniformity in content delivery, does not adequately address the diverse learning needs of students. As a result, some learners experience disengagement, while others are not sufficiently challenged. Although AI-based personalized learning offers a solution, its deployment is hindered by several factors. Key challenges include insufficient data integration from various academic sources, limited technical expertise among faculty, and concerns over maintaining data privacy and ethical use of student information (Abdul, 2023). Moreover, the reliability of adaptive algorithms in accurately identifying individual learning gaps is still a matter of debate, with some studies suggesting potential biases in the recommendations. Resistance from educators, who are accustomed to traditional teaching methods, further complicates the transition to an AI-driven approach. The absence of a robust framework for continuous system evaluation and feedback also poses a significant barrier to the successful adoption of personalized learning technologies. Consequently, while the theoretical benefits of AI-based personalized learning are widely acknowledged, the practical challenges remain a major concern. This study seeks to investigate these issues by evaluating the effectiveness of current AI-based personalized learning systems at Kano University of Science and Technology and identifying the critical factors that influence their performance. The ultimate goal is to propose a set of recommendations that can facilitate a smoother transition to a personalized learning environment, ensuring that the benefits of AI are fully realized while addressing the inherent challenges (Nasir, 2024).
