EFFECT OF MOBILE TECHNOLOGY INSTRUCTIONAL APPLICATION ON UNDERGRADUATE DISTANCE LEARNERS’ ACHIEVEMENT, RETENTION, SELF-EFFICACY AND ATTITUDE TOWARDS COMPUTER SCIENCE IN NIGERIAN UNIVERSITIES
Abstract
The main purpose of this study is to determine the effect of mobile technology instructional application on undergraduate distance learners’ achievement, self-efficacy and attitude towards Computer science in Nigerian universities. Specifically, the study will:
(i) determine whether undergraduate distance learners have self-efficacy in using mobile technology applications for learning
(ii) examine the attitude of undergraduate distance learners towards the use of mobile applications for learning Computer science
(iii) determine the effect of mobile technology instructional application on the achievement of undergraduate distance learners in Computer science
(iv) determine whether differences exist between the achievement of undergraduate distance learners taught Computer science through mobile technology instructional application and those taught through printed course manual
(v) examine the influence of gender on the achievement of undergraduate distance learners taught Computer science through mobile technology instructional application
(vi) determine the effect of mobile technology instructional application on the retention of undergraduate distance learners in Computer science
(vii) determine whether differences exist between the retention of undergraduate distance learners taught Computer science through mobile technology instructional application and those taught through printed course manual
(viii) examine the influence of gender on the retention of undergraduate distance learners taught Computer science through mobile technology instructional application
(ix) determine whether differences exist between the attitude of undergraduate distance learners to Computer science before and after learning through mobile technology instructional application
(x) examine whether gender differences exist between the self-efficacy of undergraduate distance learners in using mobile applications for learning.
(xi) examine whether gender differences exist between the attitude of undergraduate distance learners towards using mobile technology instructional application for learning Computer science
