The utilization of paper and pen for recording student attendance is a conventional method which is prevalent across a plethora of educational institutions. However, this technique is fraught with various challenges and inefficiencies, primarily owing to the extensive duration required in its execution. Additionally, it necessitates a secondary phase of data entry for report generation. This method is also susceptible to malpractices such as proxy attendance, where students may sign on behalf of their peers. Consequently, this mode of attendance documentation lacks security and is less favored. Scholars have, over a substantial time span, presented an assortment of alternative paradigms for managing student attendance. The pertinent academic literature on automated attendance systems can be dichotomized into two broad categories: those that employ biometric technologies and those that do not. Biometric systems are contingent on physiological attributes for authentication, by juxtaposing the captured data with pre-existing records. The incorporation of biometric verification in affirming identity and authorizing access to automated systems has gained traction and is now ubiquitous. Conversely, a segment of the academic community has explored non-biometric attendance systems, employing an eclectic mix of techniques. This manuscript undertakes an exhaustive analysis of over forty empirical studies and proffers a new taxonomy for student attendance management systems.
