Teaching and learning in a digital age: Challenges and prospects
Abstract
teaching and learning. However, the question is whether
technological resources are adequately employed in teaching and
learning in tertiary institutions in Nigeria. To answer this
question, this study examines the attitudes, responses and/or
opinions of teachers and students’ use of ICT with regard to
teaching and learning in the Faculty of Arts, Nnamdi Azikiwe
University, Awka. A questionnaire designed to elicit information
about the activity of teaching and learning was randomly
administered to one hundred selected students and teachers in the
faculty. The responses were analyzed using the simple
percentages. The analysis reveals that there is still lack of
facilities, expertise and/or technical knowhow to adequately
explore the available technological tools that enhance teaching
and learning. The paper, therefore, advocates for the importance
of redesigning and rethinking education from theoretical to
practical strategies for effective teaching and learning.
