Item An analysis of computer literacy levels among pre-service teachers in the university of Ibadan Open Distance Learning (ODL) programme(2016-03) Isah, E. A.; Odedoyin, M. A.Teacher certification is a core concern for educational planners and employers of labour in Nigeria with the adoption of the National policy on education in 1981 that made the Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE), least teaching qualification. Employers have sought ways of improving teacher qualifications while planners have sought ways of increasing teacher production to meet rising demands. Distance education adopted by the University of Ibadan utilizes Information Communication Technology (Computers, laptops, smartphones and the internet). Distance education adopts high computer literacy skills to ensure students competence in their studies. This paper investigated computer literacy levels among pre-service teachers in the University of Ibadan ODL using the survey research design. The study population consisted of students in the 8 Departments of the Faculty of Education involved in the ODL using the disproportionate stratified random sampling technique to select 500 respondents. A researcher developed instrument 'Pre-service Teachers Computer Literacy Level Assessment Questionnaire (PTCLLAQ r=0.85) was adopted for the study. Findings indicated that a significant positive relationship r=0.025; p<0.05 existed between computer literacy level and ODL programme at the University hence the study recommended that the centre should find ways to sustain the current trend.Item Student perspectives on open and distance learning in universities in South-west, Nigeria(2014-06) Emunemu, B. O.; Isah, E. A.; Isuku, E. J.The problem of access to higher education is not new to Nigeria. Over the years, scholars have researched into possibilities of providing education but some African scholars suggested mass education. The arrival of globalization and Information Communication Technology (ICT) has facilitated what is now known as distance education. The Open Distance Learning (ODL) keeps lecturer and student in contact through technology. This study investigated the effectiveness of the system through student perceptions. The study adopted the survey research design with its respondent population drawn from four universities in South-West, Nigeria namely; University of Ibadan (Ul) with 100 respondents, Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) with 100 respondents, University of Lagos (UNILAG) with 100 respondents. The National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) had 150 respondents. All respondents were purposively selected. A researcher-designed instrument entitled 'Perspectives in Open Distance Learning in Universities in South-West, Nigeria Questionnaire' [PODLUSWNQ) with four sections was adopted. The instrument was subjected to face and content validity by colleagues in the Faculty of Education, University of Ibadan. Two research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. A trial test of the instrument yielded 'r'-0.75. The study found a significant difference in ICT availability among universities [F (3, 479) = 6.382, p <.05j. The level of ICT availability among students in Obafemi Awolowo University (M = 15.8974, sd = 3.41998) was lower than that of students in NOUN (M = 17.8416, sd = 4.29356) and University of Lagos (M =18.0187, sd = 3.88024). ICT availability from OAU was not significantly different from those in Ul (M = 16.9430, sd = 4.50088) while Ul is not significantly different from others. It was revealed that the use of radio and television were average hence recommendations centered on the development of radio and television dissemination of information with adequate funding.
