Description

This study examined the application of Learning Management System (LMS) as perceived by Business Education Lecturers and Students in Delta State Tertiary Institutions. Six research questions and three null hypotheses guided the study. The study utilized a descriptive research design. The population of the study comprised all Business Education students and lecturers in Delta State tertiary institutions. The sample size comprised 79 lecturers and 260 students. The sampling techniques used for the study were proportionate stratified and convenience sampling techniques.

The data collection tool was a questionnaire. To ensure reliability of the instrument, the questionnaire was distributed to a sample of 50 lecturers and students from tertiary institutions in Edo State who were not included in the study area. The data collected from this sample were then analyzed using the Cronbach alpha reliability coefficient to assess its level of internal consistency. To address the research questions, measures such as mean and standard deviation were employed. Additionally, to test the hypotheses at a significance level of 0.05, an independent samples t-test was conducted.

The findings of the study revealed that the level of application of the learning management system is low as perceived by lecturers and students; that the benefits of the learning management system as perceived by Business Education Lecturers and students are high; that the challenges of applying the learning management system as perceived by Business Education Lecturers and students are high. The study recommended that Tertiary institutions in Delta State should prioritize efforts to enhance the application of learning management system. This could involve providing training and workshops for both Business Education Lecturers and Students to ensure they are well-equipped for effective disposition.
