Abstract

The study investigated the impact of entry behaviour on academic performance among first-year ICT students at Kibi Technical Institute, while also exploring learner motivation and self-regulation as predictive factors. The study, rooted in motivation and self-regulation theory, utilized a positivist approach and an explanatory design. Data, gathered from 100 first-year ICT students using a structured questionnaire and academic records, were analysed using IBM SPSS Statistics v26. Results showed that self-regulation significantly predicted academic performance, whereas entry behaviour and learner motivation had insignificant effects. It recommends integrating self-regulation training programs into the curriculum to empower students with effective learning strategies and management techniques

Abstract

The study focused on junior high school students' digital ownership, digital literacy, and information technology learning self-efficacy. It employed a descriptive survey research design and selected 70 JHS 3 pupils from Ayifua St. Mary’s Anglican Basic School using simple random sampling. Data collection was through questionnaires, and analysis involved descriptive and inferential statistics like frequency counts, percentages, means, standard deviations, multiple regression analysis, and independent samples t-test. Findings indicated a moderately high level of information technology learning self-efficacy among students, limited digital device ownership except for flash drives, moderate digital literacy skills, and a positive but moderate relationship between digital ownership, literacy, and self-efficacy. Recommendations included providing ICT facilities and training for teachers to integrate modern technology effectively

Abstract

This study explores educators' perspectives on the School Information System (SIS) in a Senior High School within the Gomoa West District. Using a quantitative method, data from 346 respondents were analysed through descriptive analysis. Results indicate that school leadership significantly influences SIS adoption; supportive leadership fosters its use, although not universally among district leaders. Teachers' positive attitudes towards the SIS correlate with their acceptance of it. The study suggests government-led training to prepare teachers for student and school management systems, promoting digital technology integration in classrooms for improved education in Ghana's senior high schools. Overall, the research underscores the SIS's potential in enhancing decision-making support in education
