Background of the study
Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the educational landscape by introducing personalized learning experiences through AI-driven tutors. In Minna South LGA, Niger State, the adoption of these intelligent tutoring systems has begun to transform traditional instructional methods, offering individualized feedback and adaptive learning pathways. AI-driven tutors analyze student performance in real time, identify learning gaps, and tailor instruction to meet the unique needs of each student (Chinwe, 2023). This innovative approach has the potential to significantly enhance academic performance by providing continuous, customized support that traditional classroom settings may struggle to offer. The use of AI in education aligns with global trends towards digitization and data-driven learning, ensuring that students receive the right level of challenge and support to optimize their academic outcomes (Adeyemi, 2024).
The integration of AI-driven tutors in Minna South LGA reflects a broader shift in the educational paradigm, where technology is leveraged to foster critical thinking and self-directed learning. These systems are designed to work alongside human teachers, complementing their instruction by offering supplementary explanations, practice exercises, and instant feedback. As a result, students are empowered to learn at their own pace and revisit concepts until mastery is achieved. This study is timely, as it examines the impact of such advanced technological tools in a local context, where resource limitations and traditional teaching practices have historically influenced educational outcomes. By focusing on AI-driven tutors, the research aims to assess not only academic performance but also students’ motivation, engagement, and confidence in using technology as a learning aid (Chinwe, 2023). Moreover, the study will consider the challenges related to the implementation of AI systems, such as technical infrastructure, teacher training, and ethical concerns regarding data privacy and algorithmic bias. This comprehensive investigation will provide critical insights into how AI-driven tutoring can bridge educational gaps and contribute to a more personalized, effective learning environment in secondary schools (Adeyemi, 2024).
Statement of the problem
Despite the promising benefits of AI-driven tutors, their implementation in secondary schools in Minna South LGA faces several challenges that may hinder their effectiveness. A primary concern is the limited technical infrastructure and insufficient internet connectivity, which can lead to frequent interruptions and reduced system efficiency. Additionally, there is a lack of comprehensive training for teachers and students alike, resulting in suboptimal utilization of AI tools (Emeka, 2023). These challenges contribute to a disparity in academic outcomes, as students who have better access to technology are more likely to benefit from the adaptive features of AI tutors, while others may struggle to engage with these systems effectively.
Furthermore, issues surrounding data privacy, algorithmic bias, and the transparency of AI decision-making processes have raised concerns among educators, parents, and policymakers. These factors not only affect the trust in and acceptance of AI-driven tutors but also pose ethical dilemmas that need to be addressed before widespread adoption can be achieved (Emeka, 2023). The current educational framework in Minna South LGA does not adequately support the integration of such advanced technologies, thereby creating a barrier to maximizing their potential benefits. This study aims to investigate the extent to which AI-driven tutors impact academic performance, identify the critical barriers to their effective use, and propose practical strategies to enhance their implementation. By addressing these issues, the research intends to provide evidence-based recommendations that can facilitate the broader adoption of AI in education and contribute to improved academic outcomes (Emeka, 2023).
Objectives of the study:
-
To evaluate the impact of AI-driven tutors on students’ academic performance.
-
To identify the challenges associated with the implementation of AI-driven tutoring systems.
-
To propose strategies for effective integration of AI tools in secondary education.
Research questions:
-
How do AI-driven tutors influence academic performance in secondary schools?
-
What challenges impede the effective use of AI tutoring systems?
-
Which strategies can enhance the integration of AI-driven tutors in educational settings?
Research Hypotheses:
-
AI-driven tutors significantly improve students’ academic performance.
-
Technical infrastructure limitations negatively affect the performance of AI tutoring systems.
-
Teacher training in AI integration is positively correlated with the effective use of AI tutors.
Significance of the study
This study is significant as it investigates the role of AI-driven tutors in enhancing academic performance in Minna South LGA. The findings will help educational stakeholders understand the benefits and challenges of integrating advanced technology in classrooms. Recommendations derived from this research will guide policy formulation, teacher training, and infrastructure development, thereby optimizing the use of AI in secondary education (Chinwe, 2023).
Scope and limitations of the study:
The study is limited to secondary schools in Minna South LGA, Niger State, focusing exclusively on the impact of AI-driven tutors on academic performance. It does not cover other educational technologies or levels. Limitations include technical infrastructure, teacher readiness, and data privacy concerns.
Definitions of terms:
-
AI-driven Tutors: Intelligent computer systems that provide personalized educational assistance using artificial intelligence.
-
