This study investigates lecturers’ adoption of Google applications (apps) for education (GAFE) in university of Ilorin, Nigeria. The objectives of the study, among others, were to determine lecturers’ perceived adoption of Google Application for Education for instruction in a Nigerian university. The study adopted descriptive research design, using quantitative survey method. Four research questions and two hypotheses were answered and tested respectively. A total of one hundred and sixty-eight (168) respondents were randomly sampled; frequency counts, percentages and mean were employed to answer research questions while hypotheses were tested using t-test and analysis of variance (ANOVA). The findings of the study concluded, among many others, that lecturers perceived adoption and ease of adoption of GAFE for instruction in the university was positive. The study recommended that lecturers should be encouraged to explore full benefits of GAFE to improve classroom instruction. Abstrak Aplikasi Google untuk pendidikan (Google Applicaiton for Education, GAfE) merupakan aplikasi komunikasi dan kolaborasi yang disediakan oleh Google secara gratis untuk dunia pendidikan. Penelitian ini mengkaji adopsi GAfE oleh para dosen di Universitas Ilorin, Nigeria, terutama untuk mengetahui pemahaman para dosen dalam mengadopsi GAfE untuk perkuliahan. Penelitian ini mengadopsi desain deskriptif, terutama menggunakan survei. Terdapat empat pertanyaan penelitian yang diajukan dan dua hipotesis yang diuji. Sebanyak 168 responden dipilih secara acak, perhitungan frekuensi, persentase, dan rata-rata digunakan untuk menjawab pertanyaan penelitian, sementara hipotesis diuji menggunakan uji-t dan analisis varian (Anova).

Abstract

The study investigates students’ attitudes towards gamification-based teaching in mathematics in basic schools in Kwara State. The study adopted a descriptive design of the survey type. The population for this study were all junior secondary students in Kwara State. The target population for this study was all junior secondary students. A purposive sampling technique was used to select a sample size of 64 students. To ensure the validity of the instrument, a pilot study was carried out in a non-participating school outside the scope of the study and a value coefficient of .77 was obtained using Cronbach alpha. The findings of the study revealed that students in junior secondary schools had a positive attitude towards gamification-based teaching and there is no significant difference in the male and female students’ attitude towards gamification-based teaching in mathematics. The study concluded that attitudes toward gamification-based teaching had a significant impact on students' outcomes. It was therefore recommended among others that All teachers in junior secondary schools should adopt the usage of gamification-based teaching in the teaching and learning of mathematics as it can produce positive results in teaching effectiveness and student performance.

Abstract

Gamification elements are excellent tools for promoting specific behaviors and enhancing academic performance. Method: The study used a non-equivalent group design using a 2x2x2 factorial, quasi-experimental pre-test-post-test format. The population for this study were all junior secondary students in Kwara State. The target population for this study was all junior secondary students in basic 2 (J.i.S 2) in Kwara-North. Two junior secondary schools in Kwara-North L.G.A. were chosen using a purposive sample technique because they have functional and well-equipped computer labs. School B was the control group, whereas School A was the experimental group. The two groups were intact classes. The instruments used for data collection were: The Mathematics Concepts Performance Test (MCPT) and the Quizalize gamification application. To ensure the reliability of the instrument, a pilot study was carried out the acquired results were tested using split-half Reliability coefficients, and a value of .89 was obtained. The findings of the study revealed that the adoption of gamification element has an impact on junior secondary school students’ mathematics performance, female students performed better than male students after the treatment was administered. It was recommended among others that the gamification element is successful in lowering the level of abstractness connected with the teaching and learning of some mathematical concepts at the junior secondary school level of education, mathematics teachers should incorporate it into the classroom.

Abstract

Distance learning has become increasingly important since the COVID-19 pandemic, with educators and institutions turning to open educational resources (OER) to facilitate learning. The study aimed to determine the access of distance learners to open educational resources (OER) for learning; also to examine their utilisation in Oyo State, Nigeria. Employing a descriptive survey research design, data were collected through a Google Form-based online questionnaire from 500 open educational students in three distance learning centres. A total of 381 valid responses were analysed; hypotheses were tested at a significance level of 0.05%, using SPSS. Descriptive statistics were employed to address the research questions. From the findings, it was discovered that students can access the essential devices and OER either via their centre's website or using the free Wi-Fi provided by the centre, with 52.9 % not accessing them and 47.1 % accessing them at least once a week. The utilisation of OER was limited, with some resources rarely or never used by students (always used = 34.4%, rarely used = 32.1%, and never used = 33.5%) among others. The study concluded that distance learners had access to and utilised OER; but some missed out on a valuable and cost-effective resource. Recommendations included improving students' access, encouraging the use of available OER, among many others
