Adoption of Computer Assisted Instruction in Teaching Business Education Courses at Tertiary Institutions in North-East Nigeria
Keywords:
Computer Assisted Instruction, Business Education, Tertiary InstitutionAbstract
The study examined the intention of business education lecturers for adopting computer assisted instruction in teaching business education courses at tertiary institutions in North-East Nigeria. A survey research design was adopted where 120 business education lecturers were randomly selected from twelve tertiary institutions offering business education in North-Eastern Nigeria. A structured questionnaire was used as instrument for data collection. The data collected was analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results revealed that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and computer self-efficacy had significant and positive relationship with adoption of CAI in teaching business education courses at tertiary institutions in North-East Nigeria. By implications, business education lecturers believed that technology usefulness, ease of use and their self-efficacy in computer are important determinants of CAI adoption. This study suggested that predominant use of traditional lecture method among business education lecturers should be discouraged and encourage the use of modern technologies, particularly computer assisted instruction in teaching business education courses because it is an interactive instructional technique that allow students to fully participate in the learning process and makes the learning environment more engaging for both students and teachers unlike the traditional lecture method that is less effective in improving students’ learning outcomes and students are less involved in the learning process.
