dc.description.abstractA poor reading culture has been identified as one of the most prominent of the factors responsible for the perennial mass failure of Nigerian candidates in major examinations. The Internet has been acknowledged as a system that has effectively solved the problem of the dearth of reading materials. Audio-visual materials, of which the home video is a part, have also been proved to be of immense instructional value. That senior secondary school students in Ibadan spend ever-increasing time on the Internet (Cyber) and home video sub-cultures is quite noticeable. This study thus sought to find out if the growth of the two sub-cultures has any effects on the reading habits of the students. A self-constructed twenty-four-item students’ questionnaire that yielded a validity of Cronbach alpha 81.4 was used to collect data from one hundred and twenty senior secondary school students in Ibadan metropolis. The analysis of responses from 113 returned copies found valid reveals that only 58.41% of the students are Internet literate, they spend more time on home video and cyber café activities than reading, there is significant relationship between the students’ home video watching culture and their reading habits, there is significant relationship between the students’ cyber culture and their reading habits, the linear combination of home video viewing and cyber sub-cultures on the students’ reading habits is significant, and the relative contributions of home video viewing and cyber cub-cultures are significant on their reading habits.en_US
