    (Learning and Media Company, 2010) ADEGBIJA, Mosiforiba Victoria; ALIMI, Adebayo Emmanuel
    This paper evaluated the application of systems approach theory in instruction by ssecondary scool teachers in Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria. In order to achieve the stated objectives, a researcher designed questionnaire was used to elicit informationon on the application of systems approach theory in instruction by 120 teachers from five purposively selected secondary schools in Ilorin, Nigeria. The sum and mean scores were used to analyze the data collected from the respondents in the secondary schools under study. The results showed that systems approach theory in instruction was not being consciously utilized as expected because some of the teachers were not adequately equipped, updated or exposed to the systems approach of learning. Also, most teachers‟ knowledge about determining the learning outcome, was poor; some do not evaluate or preview the instructional materials used, and students were not always given sufficient time to participate in the learning activities. Based on the findings of the research, it was recommended that teachers should be given privileges of training and re-training on the job and that schools‟ laboratory should be equipped with adequate and modern instructional materials that would help teachers meet the challenges of the application of systematic approach to learning.

    There is a need for a method that will shift the attention to the learners, while the lecturers play the role of facilitator of learning. One of the methods that can promote this learning style is Study Technology. Study technology is a student centered learning technique that helps the learner to study successfully by providing solutions to all barriers encountered in the process of studying. This study investigated experts’ Evaluation of flex billboard on study technology for teaching and learning. The findings established that the flex billboard is efficient to create an awareness on study technology and it can be operated without the use of electric power supply. It was however recommended that curriculum planner should include in its curriculum, orientation programmer for the pupils on study technology as this will aid or enhance learning process.

    LECTURERS’ AWARENESS OF, ACCESS TO AND COMPETENCY IN THE USE OF GOOGLE APPS FOR EDUCATION IN NIGERIAN UNIVERSITIES
    (Faculty of Education, Department of Educational Technology, 2018-04-30) ALIMI, Adebayo Emmanuel
    The emergence of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and its integration into teaching and learning have led to qualitative delivery of lecture and learning by lecturers and students respectively. However, studies reveal that most lecturers in Nigerian Universities have low level of awareness, access to and competency in handling ICT tools. This research therefore, investigated lecturers’ awareness of, access to and competency in the use of Google Apps for Education (GAfE) in Nigerian universities. The objectives were to investigate: (i) university lecturers’ awareness of GAfE; (ii) university lecturers’ access to GAfE; (iii) competency of University lecturers’ use of GAfE; (iv) influence of gender on the use of GAfE; (v) influence of University lecturers’ status on the use of GAfE; and (vi) the influence of university proprietorship on lecturers’ use of GAfE. The research was a descriptive method of the survey type. The population comprised all lecturers in Nigeria universities registered with Google (2,800), out of which 1,042 lecturers were sampled. A researcher-designed questionnaire entitled “Lecturers’ Awareness of, Access to and Competency in the Use of GAfE in Nigerian universities” was used to collect data. The instrument was subjected to face and content validity by experts and tested for reliability using Cronbach alpha. The three sections of awareness, access and competence yielded 0.71, 0.84 and 0.81 respectively. Descriptive statistics, percentage and means were used to analyse collected data for the research questions, while t-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The findings were that: i. university lecturers were aware of GAfE (74.1%); ii. a total of 531 (55.4%) lecturers had access to GAfE in their personal offices while 44.6% had access to it at home and other places in the academic area like library, computer laboratory and classroom; iii. lecturers were generally not competent in the use of GAfE as the observed grand mean of 1.96 was lower than the benchmark score of 2.5; iv. gender had significant influence on respondents’ use of GAfE in favour of male lecturers (t = 4.04, p = 0.000); v. lecturers’ status had significant influence on the use of GAfE in favour of graduate assistant (t = 4.04, p = 0.000); and vi. university proprietorship had significant influence on lecturers’ use of GAfE in favour of Federal Government owned universities (t = 6.89, p = 0.000). The study concluded that lecturers were aware and had access to GAfE but access limited to their offices. Given chance, there is readiness in lecturers to make use of GAfE for instruction. The implication was that, using GAfE for teaching would revolutionize classroom activities and would enhance the process of communication both within and outside the university. It was recommended that Nigerian university be licenced to use GAfE for teaching and learning. Opportunity should be created for lecturers to use GAfE outside their offices; while training and re-training on GAfE be regular in order to leverage on University lecturers’ competency for GAfE usage.

    Advances in technology have brought instructional media to the forefront as the most radical tools of globalization and social development which have influenced the classroom teaching/ learning situation positively. Such technological breakthroughs are important landmarks in knowledge transfer. There are several acclaimed video packages which may not be perfectly suitable for instruction thus there is need to evaluate any package that should be used for learning. The main purpose of this research was to investigate experts' evaluation on the video instructional package for junior secondary school students in basic technology. This research was a research and development research method and the respondents comprised of 20 experts studying at the University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria.

    Stakeholders' Perception of the Integration of Needed Information and Communication Technology Equipment and Facilities in Distance Learning in Nigeria
    (Nigerian Journal of Educational Technology (NiJET), 2016) Falade, Ayotunde Atanda; Issa, Ahmed Idris; ALIMI, Adebayo Emmanuel
    Information and communication Technologies (ICTs) have transformed distance learning by expanding and widening access to education, improving its quality and credibility. This study investigated stakeholders' perception of the integration of needed ICT equipment and facilities in distance learning in Nigeria. Two research questions were raised; 897 respondents participated in the study drawn from five Universities in Nigeria using researchers' design questionnaire. Percentage (%) was used to analyse the data. From the analyses, it was noted that all 27 ICT equipment and facilities were considered needed; the least among them was video conferencing (71.5%) and the highest was computer (97.7%). It was also noted that 531 (59.2%) of the respondents were female while 366 (40.8%) were male; this indicates that female respondents are slightly higher than male respondents. It is therefore recommended amongst many that government should give necessary support to integrate and procure the needed ICT aspects and materials. Conclusively, distance learning curriculum should be designed to accommodate the integration of ICT equipment and facilities.
