Abstract

This study investigated the perceived attitude of students and teachers towards e-learning in selected secondary schools in Educational District V, Ojo Local Government Area of Lagos State.  The objectives of the study were to investigate the extent to which students’ and teachers’ perceptions of the e-learning method influence academic performance in the selected secondary schools, and to examine the relationship between e-learning and motivation for studies in the selected Secondary Schools. The study adopted a descriptive survey design to elicit responses from the respondents. Relevant data were obtained through the questionnaire and a stratified sampling technique was applied to select one hundred and thirty (130) students in Educational District V of Lagos State. Data were analyzed using the Frequency Distribution Analytical Method. The Chi-Square Method, Pearson Product Moment Correlation and T-test were used to test the hypotheses. The major findings of this study showed that Students’ and teachers’ perception of e-learning influences academic performance as students can easily read, view and listen to online academic programmes on personal computers, laptops, cell phones and other internet facilities. The findings also revealed that there is significant relationship between e-learning and motivation for studies in the selected Secondary Schools. The study concluded that, although there is a difference in the students’ understanding of subjects between e-learning and classroom (face-to-face) learning methods, the difference is insignificant. The study recommended that there is need for the selected schools to provide adequate e-learning facilities to ease the challenges students encounter in the online learning process.
