The Role of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the Academic Performance of the University of Benin Post Graduate Students

Abstract

Student performance has several elements, but most significant is the role the information and communication technology plays. The performance of students in modern education is quite different from the traditional method used over the past decades. ICT is a revolution and has indeed bridged the divided world of information into single entity; it has further enhanced the resourcefulness of students in various academic institutions around the globe. This study is a fact finding into the role of ICT as it relates to students performance in modern education and the traditional method of research in time past. University of Benin (Uniben) Post Graduate Students were used to solicit information required for the research decision. From the findings, it was observed that there is a significant difference between the users and non users of ICT facilities on academic activities. Tables 1, 2, 3 and 4 as tabulated below shows Osagie et al.; AJPAS, 5(2): 1-9, 2019; Article no.AJPAS.51301 2 the positive impact of ICT on student performance. The testing, t-test was 1.96 at 0.05 significance level, while the t-value was 4.677 and this to a large degree shows clear distinction to viability of the impact of ICT on the positive performance on students.

How Information-Seeking Behavior, Essential Technologies, and Resilience Enhance the Academic Performance of Students

“…Data from the postgraduate students of the University of Benin (Uniben) revealed a substantial difference in academic activity between users and non-users of ICT facilities. Their findings demonstrated that ICT has a favorable influence on student performance (Osagie et al, 2019). Similarly, data analysis of graduate students in four programs of an education department at a northeastern U.S. university revealed that students were positive about the use of computers in their graduate work and utilized computers often for various academic objectives (Shaw and Giacquinta, 2000).…”

A Bit of Hacking Techniques for Vulnerable Subdomain

“…Thus, results as the bridging hub of all networks scattered worldwide. Networks of different kinds have different configurations with its operational scope based on the fundamental principle of the intended user [7]. The internal mechanism of the design structure of a network is usually not for public consumption and this is because there are inherent attributes of the security apparatus that prevent it from been hacked or accessed by unauthorised user [8].…”
