Abstract
In recent years, the world have been afflicted by pandemic disease (Corona virus), which is currently afflicting and affecting all areas of the world. Originated from china, the spread of the pandemic disease has caused several alterations to ways and styles of living which include wearing of face mask, observing social distancing, partial and absolute lock down regulation and so on. Therefore, the need to incorporate ICT into education to promote online learning or instruction is a paramount issue at the moment in many countries. From the aforementioned, there is need to carry out a comprehensive evaluation on the implementation of online instruction. Using Stufflebeam’s CIPP evaluation model, the study evaluated the implementation of online instruction in a college of education situated in Ogun state, Nigeria.
The embedded mixed methods design was adopted involving the integration of quantitative and qualitative data. The sample comprised of 200 students in their second year in a college of education situated in Ogun State for the quantitative approach using stratified sampling technique. A sub-sample of 20 students was selected using purposive sampling technique was used for qualitative approach. The instruments are ICT Resources Checklist and Students’ Evaluation questionnaire (SEQ). Both quantitative and qualitative modes of analysis were employed. The quantitative analyses involved the use of descriptive statistics like frequency and percentage. The qualitative mode of analysis involved inductive (thematic) analysis.
The evaluation outcomes show that: 1) student’s needs and expectations are to experience quality learning in a conducive environment to achieve grades; 2) students had access to online learning software and ICT gadgets except for good network access; 3) Implementing of online instruction was marred by several challenges such as poor internet connection, poor comprehension of lesson, distractions, insufficient data, insufficient time and lack of collaborative effort among students; 4) most of the students were not satisfied with online instruction and preferred physical classes.
Recommendations were made to highlight expectations from Government and lecturers to provide practical solutions to improve the implementation of online instruction.
