Abstract

In today’s digital era, integrating technology into education has become essential for enhancing learning experiences and outcomes. This study adopted a descriptive survey design to investigate the use of technology integration among Home Economics students in Food and Nutrition programs in Colleges of Education in Anambra State. A sample of 55 students was selected through proportionate stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire (TIFNEQ), with Cronbach Alpha coefficients of 0.86 (awareness), 0.77 (extent of use), and 0.81 (perceived benefits). The researcher personally administered the instrument, achieving a 100% response rate. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, ANOVA, Duncan post-hoc test, and Pearson correlation, using SPSS version 25, with significance set at the 0.05 level. The study involved 55 Home Economics students, of which (12.7%) were below 20 years, (36.4%) between 20–25 years, (27.3%) aged 26–30, and (23.6%) above 30. By level of study, (16.4%) were in Year I, (27.3%) in Year II, (38.2%) in Year III, and (18.2%) in Year IV. Females represented a majority (89.1%) compared to males (10.9%). In terms of technology availability, the overall mean scores indicated moderate access to tools (mean = 2.96, SD = 1.19), with Year I students reporting the highest availability (mean = 2.73). A significant difference was found across levels of study in technology availability (F (3,51) = 4.03, p = .012). A strong positive correlation existed between availability and extent of use (r = .860, p < .001). Similarly, extent of technology use differed significantly across levels (F (3,51) = 3.33, p = .027), with Year I students again reporting the highest use (mean = 3.11). Perceived benefits of technology also varied significantly (F (3,51) = 3.94, p = .013). A very strong correlation was found between extent of use and perceived benefits (r = .964, p < .001), confirming a meaningful link between practice and value perception. The study concludes that while some digital tools are in use, technology integration is not uniformly implemented, and its potential is underutilized. The study recommends improved provision and equitable access to digital resources to enhance learning in Home Economics

Abstract

In recent years, the eating behaviors of Generation Z teenagers have become a growing concern for health educators, parents, and policymakers due to the rising influence of digital media, shifting cultural norms, and school environments. These factors, alongside gender and school type, shape how teenagers make food choices and perceive their health. This study investigated gender and school-type differences in food preferences, dietary habits, perceived health outcomes, and the influence of social, cultural, and digital factors among Generation Z teenagers in selected secondary schools in Anambra State, Nigeria. The study used a descriptive survey design to cover the perceptions among 150 Gen Z teenagers in selected public and private secondary schools in Anambra State, Nigeria. A multistage sampling method ensured balanced representation. Data were collected using a validated and reliable questionnaire (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.84), reviewed by experts. Trained assistants administered the instrument during school hours. ANOVA and Tests of Between-Subjects Effects analyzed hypotheses using SPSS version 25 at a 0.05 significance level. The result showed no significant difference in food preferences among Gen Z teenagers based on gender and school type (F = 1.309, p = .274). However, school type significantly influenced how food preferences affected daily dietary habits (F = 4.580, p = .034). There was no significant relationship between dietary choices and perceived health outcomes (F = 0.286, p = .594), nor did social, cultural, and digital influences significantly shape food preferences (F = 0.695, p = .406). Female students in private schools reported higher influence from external factors (Mean = 3.10), while males showed more stable patterns across both school types. The study concludes that while school type plays a role in dietary behavior, gender differences are less pronounced. It recommends targeted nutrition education and health promotion strategies, particularly in public schools, to improve adolescent food practices and well-being.
