Abstract

The paper examines the perceived influence of e-learning as a determinant for the effective academic performance of public secondary schools in Aguata local government area of Anambra state. The population of the study is made up of 2,841 students and teachers from 12 public secondary schools in Aguata Education zone. The simple random sampling technique was used to select 426 respondents (376 students and 50 teachers), which is about 15% of the entire population of the study. The instrument used for data collection is a well-structured questionnaire of 5 point Likert Scale. The questionnaire was used to collect data from respondents in relation to the objective of this study. The questionnaire was divided into two sections, namely, section A and Section B. while section A comprised personal details of the respondents such as age, gender, and status of Academics, section b comprised questions relating to the questionnaire, and the response was structured to 5 rating levels. The Pearson Correlation Coefficient was used to determine the reliability of the instrument. A co-efficient value of 0.68 indicated that the research instrument was relatively reliable. According to (Taber, 2017), the range of reasonable reliability is between 0.67 and 0.87. The paper recommends that government at all levels; non-governmental organizations, and private sectors should assist in equipping secondary schools' e-learning centers with model equipment for effective teaching and learning to students with e-learning technologies.
