Abstract

Several works on the benefits of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in society’s survival have been recognised by experts. However, in reality, the use of ICT in developing countries like Nigeria is still in its infancy due to their lack of knowledge about it. This study examines the effect of digital literacy on the civic engagement of learners in adult and vocational education in Nigeria. It adopted a non-equivalent control type of quasi-experimental research design involving the experimental and control groups. The sample size was 140 learners drawn from public adult and vocational education centers across Nigeria. The data-collecting instrument was the “Civic Engagement Test” (CET). Data were analysed using mean, standard deviation and analysis of covariance. Findings show that learners exposed to digital literacy had a higher positive effect on civic engagement than basic literacy. Furthermore, cooperative learning style adopted as a moderating variable had a higher civic engagement mean score than solitary. On interaction effect, the study concluded that basic literacy had a more positive effect than digital literacy, hence the need for the provision of necessary facilities to promote digital literacy skills among learners.

Abstract

The benefits of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in societal growth are well-documented; however, its application in developing countries such as Nigeria has been limited due to a lack of knowledge. This study investigates media literacy’s impact on learners’ online political participation in adult and vocational education in Nigeria. It adopted a non-equivalent control type of quasi-experimental research design involving experimental and control groups. The sample consisted of 196 learners selected from public adult and vocational education centers across Nigeria. The “Online Political Participation Test” (OPPT) was the data collection instrument. The findings indicate that the mean online political participation scores of learners trained in media literacy did not differ significantly from those trained in basic literacy. Additionally, the mean online political participation scores of learners using cooperative learning styles were not significantly different from those using solitary learning styles. Regarding the interaction effects, there were no significant differences in the mean online political participation scores based on the learning styles adopted by the learners. The study concluded that basic literacy had a more positive impact than media literacy in informal learning environments in developing countries.
