Abstract
This study investigated availability,
accessibility and utilization of E-learning resources in teaching biology in senior
secondary schools in Delta state. Six research questions guided the
study and three hypotheses were tested. The study adopted a descriptive survey
research design. The population consisted of 431 biology teachers from public
and private schools in Asaba and Agbor Education Zones of Delta State. There
was no sample for the study as the population was of manageable size. Checklist
questionnaire was the instrument used for data collection. The instrument was
validated by four experts and tested for reliability. Cronbach alpha was used
to establish the reliability of the instrument which yielded reliability index
of 0.871. Frequency count, mean and standard deviation were used to answer the
research questions while chi-square and independent t-test were used to test
the null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study
among others showed that most of the e-learning resources are available,
accessible and utilized but not sufficient enough for teaching biology in
secondary schools in Delta state. Findings of the study also revealed among
others that there was no significance difference between public and private
secondary schools on the extent of availability of e-learning resources for
teaching Biology in Delta state. The study recommended among others that
adequate e-learning resources should be provided for effective teaching and
studying processes. Again, that instructional material is one of the major
determinant of effective teaching and learning of biology in secondary schools
which cannot be separated from teaching resources, it is therefore imperative
to ensure they are made readily available during biology lessons by both the
school head and the government as the case may be.
