Abstract

The study examined learners’ learning styles and media format on academic achievement among physics distance learners. Two hundred and Ninety-five learners were used for the study and were selected through purposive sampling techniques by balloting. Fleming NARK model Index of Learning Style questionnaire (ILSQ) and PAT Physics Achievement Test with reliability coefficient of 0.88 and 0.78 using test-retest method and KR-21. The two instruments were used for data collection. Data collected were analyzed using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). The results showed that no significant difference exists in the achievement of learners with varied learning styles (visual, auditory and kinesthetic) when taught using print format, audio and audio visual. However, results indicated that Kinesthetic is the most effective learning style when learners were taught with audiovisual media format which significantly influences learners’ achievement.

Abstract

The traditional method of learning prevailed in the educational system up until the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, which brought a turning point by digitalising learning. Education shifted from traditionally student-centred to digital learning. The transition made learning difficult and students did not cope easily with the new trend. This study investigated learners’ experience of the paradigm shift to digital learning under three stages: Anticipation, Coping, and Adaptation. Two hundred and ten (210) senior secondary school 2 students in the Eti-Osa Local Government Area of Lagos State were purposively selected. A 21-item online questionnaire with a 4-point Likert scale was used for data collection. The instrument was validated and the reliability was confirmed using Cronbach’s alpha (0.78). The data were analysed using descriptive statistics. From the results, the participants were able to identify the various challenges encountered during the transition and discover how institutions can be resilient during disruption.
