Abstract

This research examines students’ perceptions and preferences for IoT-enabled technologies in Ghanaian Colleges of Education, focusing on access control and energy-efficient tools to guide effective integration strategies. A quantitative research design was employed, using a structured questionnaire as the primary data collection method. The sample comprised 1032 respondents who were randomly selected from the Colleges of Education. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics to determine percentages, mean, and correlation. The study identified Biometric Access Systems (49.9%) as the most preferred access control technology and smart lighting systems (51.1%) and solar-powered charging solutions (50.8%) as favourably energy-efficient tools. A significant positive correlation between students’ perceptions of access control and energy-efficient tools was found. Previous research often treated these technologies separately, but this study bridges the gap by demonstrating their interconnection. The findings show that students who prefer advanced access control technologies also favour energy-efficient solutions, highlighting the potential for integrating these elements to enhance facility management.This research provides understandings into students’ views on IoT-enabled technologies in educational facilities on access control and energy-efficient tools. The findings offer practical guidance for strategic planning and integration of IoT technologies in colleges of education.
