Abstract

Even though mobile technologies are highly evolved, their advantages and capabilities have not been fully utilized in education, particularly in underdeveloped nations like Nigeria. Therefore, this study examined how university lecturers in Kwara State, Nigeria, perceived the use of mobile technology for teaching. The study used the quantitative method of descriptive research. Three Kwara State universities were purposefully chosen to provide the sample. Using a proportionate and stratified random sample procedure, 315 respondents were chosen. Data was gathered using a questionnaire modified by the researchers. Frequency counts, percentages, and means were used to address the study topics, while t-tests and ANOVA were employed to assess hypotheses at the 0.05 level of significance. The results indicated that university lecturers held favorable perceptions regarding the instructional usefulness of mobile technologies. Statistical analysis revealed no significant differences in lecturers’ perceived usefulness of mobile technology for instructional purposes (F(19, 295) = 0.68, p = 0.84). Additionally, lecturers’ perceptions did not differ significantly based on gender. No significant differences were also found in perceived usefulness with respect to educational qualifications (F(19, 295) = 1.56, p = 0.07) or area of specialization (F(19, 295) = 1.06, p = 0.39). The study concluded that university lecturers had a positive perception of the use of mobile technologies for instruction in Kwara State, Nigeria, and has great potential if it is adopted for instructional delivery. It was recommended that the university’s lecturers should be provided with mobile technologies and encouraged to utilize them for instruction, as it will lead to more active and innovative teaching methods.

Abstract

This sequential explanatory research design study determined the instructors’ level of perceptions and efficiency in using ChatGPT as an educational tool for developing courses and learning materials. It also investigated the challenges and limitations that instructors have encountered while utilizing this tool. The study involved 138 respondents, and the five participants were from regular campuses of a state university in Central Luzon who had immersed themselves in the utilization of ChatGPT. The samples of the study signify that they were actively engaged in exploring and integrating AI tools, particularly ChatGPT, in teaching pedagogy. The instruments used in this study were researcher-made questionnaires. The quantitative tool involved indicators of the perceptions of instructors on the usefulness, ease of use, attitudes, impact, and efficiency of the tool in identifying learning, performance, and assessment outcomes. The qualitative instrument was about the difficulties, authenticity and reliability issues, ethical issues and concerns, technical limitations, and strategies to improve the ChatGPT-generated content. The results showed that ChatGPT is a beneficial educational tool; it is user-friendly, especially for seasoned faculty with different levels of technological expertise. However, it was also revealed that ChatGPT does not enhance the critical and analytical thinking of the instructors as they innovate diverse course learning materials. Furthermore, the findings showed that instructors must be responsible users and critically evaluate the generated outputs because they may be inaccurate, vague, or outdated. Its technical limitations affect coherence, complexity, and the context itself. The study recommends conducting training on AI integration in education as it can negatively impact the educational system, productivity, and economic stability.

Abstract

This study investigated the multifaceted influence of Large Language Models (LLMs) on teaching and learning within a private higher education institution in Rwanda during the 2024–2025 academic year. A total of 658 students and 28 lecturers participated, providing a comprehensive perspective on both user experiences and professional concerns. Using a quantitative approach, the study employed Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) to examine how the use of LLMs relates to students’ perceptions of personalized learning effectiveness, academic performance improvement, online engagement, satisfaction with assessment feedback, and motivation for lifelong learning. Findings from the student indicated that LLMs are widely perceived as beneficial across multiple dimensions of the learning process. Students reported that LLMs enhance personalized learning by providing adaptive guidance, improving academic performance through instant clarification and practice support, and increasing online engagement by offering interactive and accessible learning assistance. The results further showed that LLMs contribute to greater satisfaction with feedback mechanisms and stimulate motivation for continuous and self-directed learning. These statistically significant associations point to the strong potential of LLMs to enrich higher education outcomes. In contrast, the lecturers’ data revealed notable concerns related to data privacy, ethical use, and algorithmic bias. Lecturers expressed significant apprehension regarding students’ overreliance on LLMs, the risks associated with inaccurate or biased outputs, and the potential erosion of academic integrity. Their perceptions underscore the need for safeguards that ensure responsible and ethical use of AI in academic settings. Overall, the findings highlighted a dual reality: while LLMs hold transformative potential for improving learning experiences, their integration must be supported by robust institutional policies, targeted capacity-building initiatives, and ongoing research. Such measures are essential to promote equitable, ethical, and effective adoption of LLMs in higher education.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of educational technology (EdTech) and information and communication technology (ICT) has significantly transformed teaching–learning practices in engineering institutes, driven by the increasing demand for flexible, student-centred, and technology-enabled education. Although a wide range of digital tools is available, engineering faculty differ considerably in their awareness, adoption, and effective pedagogical integration of these technologies. In this context, the present study examines faculty awareness and use of EdTech and ICT tools in engineering education through a taxonomy-based framework that categorizes varying levels of technological awareness and instructional application. The primary objective of the study is to assess how engineering educators perceive, access, and utilize digital tools for instructional delivery, assessment, collaboration, and student engagement. A descriptive and analytical research design was employed, and data were collected from engineering faculty using structured questionnaires and reflective inputs. The awareness taxonomy was applied to systematically analyse faculty engagement with ICT tools, ranging from basic familiarity to advanced pedagogical integration. The study also explores the use of commonly adopted digital platforms, including learning management systems, virtual classrooms, collaborative applications, and multimedia resources, along with instructional approaches such as blended learning and flipped learning. The findings indicate that while a majority of faculty members demonstrate moderate to high awareness of EdTech tools, their effective classroom implementation is often constrained by limited training opportunities, time constraints, infrastructural limitations, and resistance to pedagogical change. Nevertheless, educators who actively integrated technology-enabled strategies reported higher levels of student engagement, improved collaboration, and enhanced learning outcomes. The study concludes that structured professional development initiatives, strong institutional support, and a clearly defined awareness framework are essential for achieving meaningful and sustainable integration of EdTech and ICT in engineering education. The insights from this study can inform educators, administrators, and policymakers in strengthening technology-driven teaching practices.
