Abstract

The rapid digitalization of education has transformed instructional methodologies in higher education institutions (HEIs). This paper explores the role of digital instruction and self-directed learning (SDL) as key determinants of academic performance. While digital instruction offers flexibility and accessibility, SDL empowers students to take ownership of their learning. The interplay between these factors significantly influences academic success. The population of study covered all the students of the government owned tertiary institutions in the six geopolitical zones used for the study. The study adopted the correlational survey design and utilized purposive sampling technique to select 185 students from the institutions. The instruments used for the study was developed by the researchers, titled Digital Instructions and Self-directed Learning as determinants of academic performance amongst Higher Education Institutions’ Students (HEIs) Questionnaire (DIaSLdAHEIsQ). The instrument was validated by experts in measurement and evaluation department to ensure content validity. The reliability of 0.88 at Cronbach alpha using test-retest method, there after Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) was used. Two (2) research questions were raised to guide this study and they were answered using the PPMC. The findings of the study revealed that digital instructions significantly correlate with academic performance of students in HEI (r = .244**, N= 185, P < .05), and also that digital instructions positively correlate with self – directed learning amongst students in HEI (r = .337***, N= 185, P < .05) at 0.05 level of significance. Based on the findings the following recommendations were made, that articulate use of digital resources ought to be underpinned by deployment of meaningful instructional materials and digital tools and activities. Teachers’ professional competence on the use of digital resources.

Abstract

Academic engagement is essential if students must fulfil their academic goals and key to their success. The research employed a correlational research design to assess the extent to which parental involvement and academic resilience can predict the academic engagement of secondary school students in Anambra State. The study was guided by three research questions and tested three null hypotheses at a significance level of 0.05. 19708 senior secondary class two (SS2) students made up the study's population, from which 960 samples were selected using a multi-stage simple random approach. The study employed three instruments, namely the Parental Involvement Questionnaire (PIQ), Academic Resilience Questionnaire (ARQ), and Academic Engagement Questionnaire (AEQ), which were validated by three experts in the field of Educational Psychology. To evaluate the instruments' reliability, the Cronbach Alpha technique was employed, yielding alpha coefficients of 0.72, 0.71, and 0.70 for PIQ, ARQ, and AEQ, respectively. Simple regression analysis was used to test the null hypothesis and simple correlation analysis was used to answer research questions. The results showed that academic engagement is positively correlated with parental involvement and academic resilience. It also demonstrated that parental involvement and academic resilience worked together to enhance secondary school students' academic engagement in Anambra State. The study's conclusions led to the recommendation that parents get active in their children's education to both strengthen their resilience and raise their academic engagement.
