Ojujoh, Womemi

Abstract

This study examined the relationship between e-learning innovations and instructional delivery in private secondary schools in Rivers State, Nigeria. Three research questions guided the study, and three null hypotheses were tested. A correlational design was adopted. The population consisted of 8,500 teachers across the 1,415 accredited private secondary schools in Rivers State, with a sample of 850 representing 10% of the total population, selected using a stratified random sampling technique. A validated 4-point rating scale questionnaire, created by experts, was used for data collection. The Cronbach Alpha method determined the reliability of the instrument, yielding coefficients of 0.88 and 0.83. Pearson Product Moment Correlation statistics were used to answer the research questions, while same statistics was used to test the hypotheses at a 0.05 level of significance. Findings revealed a high and significant relationship between e- learning innovations, such as internet resources, interactive whiteboards, multimedia projectors and instructional delivery in private secondary schools in Rivers State. Based on the findings, it was concluded that e-learning innovations are generating considerable enthusiasm among teachers, particularly regarding the delivery of quality instruction. Consequently, it was recommended that the management of private secondary schools should regularly provide teachers with internet access at little or no cost to enhance instructional delivery in the classroom.
