Abstract

Computer Science (CS) Unplugged is a method of teaching for introducing non-specialists to concepts of CS through hands-on activities that do not require the use of a computer. Often the deeper concepts of CS have been considered as being too difficult for secondary school students in Nigeria. CS Unplugged methods have been used successfully with students of a wide range of ages in foreign countries. In this regard, it is germane to investigate if students can apply the activities of CS Unplugged to a real-life situation in Nigeria using the binary concept. Thus, we need to investigate students’ application level of binary concepts using CS Unplugged in secondary schools. The study adopted a one-short case pre-experimental design with an intact class of 15 Senior Secondary School One (SS I) students. The result revealed that students were able to apply the binary concept in a real-life situation with no gender difference established. The findings thus implied that if CS concepts are taught using the CS-Unplugged approach, students would be able to apply computer science concepts to real-life situations thereby imbibing their problem-solving skills. It was thus recommended among others that secondary school teachers should make use of the CS Unplugged method since it exposes students to activity-based learning and it makes them relate the activities to a real-life situation.

Abstract

The concept of Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) is used to describe any computer-based educational systems that provide immediate and personalized instruction and feedback to learners, usually without the intervention from a human teacher. This study examined the availability, accessibility, and utilization of ITS applications for teaching among selected secondary schools in Ilorin, Kwara state. The research was a descriptive type using the survey method. A random sampling technique was used to select 150 teachers from 5 secondary schools in Ilorin, Kwara state. Intelligent tutoring systems are not available to secondary school teachers in the Ilorin metropolis; the reaction of the respondents towards the use of ITS application software for instruction was Positive. From the findings of this study, it was concluded that Teachers do not have access to ITS application for instruction as a result of the availability of ITS instruction application. The implication is that if teachers have access to the ITS application for Instruction it will further foster education security. The study recommends that Government and School administrators should ensure adequate power supply and Internet facilities for easy access and utilization of ITS applications for Instruction in the classroom, also teachers who are not in ICT compliance should be encouraged to study further to meet up with the current technological trends.

Abstract

The objective of this study was to (i) investigate the available social media used by undergraduates for Learning, (ii) examine frequency of utilization of social media to facilitate learning, and (iii) examine undergraduates’ perception of the use of social media to facilitate learning. The study employed descriptive research of the survey type to elicit responses from 258 undergraduates. The research questions were answered considering independent t-test statistics. The results indicated that (i) majority of the social media available and adequate within the university, (ii) social media frequently used to enhance learning, (iii) a positive perception towards the use of social media in instruction, and (iv) no significant difference between male and female students in the frequency of use of social media and students’ perception on the use of social media for learning. Undergraduate students should adopt the use of social media for learning since this technology is useful for learning. Seminars, workshops, and conferences should be organized for male and female undergraduates on the usefulness of social media for learning since it is no gender bias.

Abstract

The study identified the Digital Collaborative Tools used for learning among undergraduates; (i) determined undergraduates’ awareness on the use of these tools for learning; (ii) ascertained undergraduates’ perception of their use for learning; (iii) identified challenges faced on the use of Digital Collaborative Tools for learning; (iv) ascertained coping strategies of integrating these tools for learning in Ilorin metropolis; and (v) examined the influence of gender on undergraduates’ awareness of Digital Collaborative Tools for learning in Ilorin metropolis. The research adopted a descriptive research design of the survey type. The population is comprised of all undergraduate students in the Ilorin metropolis. A stratified random sampling technique was used to select 200 students and a researcher-designed questionnaire was used to elicit objective responses from the subjects. Frequency counts, percentages, and mean scores were used to analyze the research questions while t-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were employed in testing the hypotheses. The findings of this study were that Digital Collaborative Tools were used for learning among undergraduates. The study recommended that male and female teachers are to redirect their focus on the utilization of digital collaborative tools for learning.
