Modern Technologies Application And Students’ Academic Performance In Tourism Studies In Tertiary Institutions In Cross River State, Nigeria
Main Article Content
Abstract
The study examined modern technologies application and student’s academic performance in tourism studies in tertiary institutions in Cross River State, Nigeria. The independent variables (Modern technology applications) examined were cloud and edge computing and artificial intelligence while the dependent variable was students’ academic performance. To achieve the purpose of the study, two hypotheses were formulated respectively to guide the study. Review related literature was based on the sub-variables of the study. The research design adopted for this study was correlational research design. Three hundred and eighty-one tourism studies students from three universities were selected using the purposive sampling technique. Two instruments the questionnaire and Students’ Academic Performance Test in Tourism Studies were used for data collection. The face validity was established by using one expert in Environmental Education and two expert in measurement and evaluation in the Faculty of Educational Foundations Studies, University of Calabar. The reliability of the instruments were done using Cronbach Alpha reliability and Kuder-Richardson 21 and the instruments yield a reliable co-efficient estimate ranging from .72 to .91. Simple linear regression was used as statistical tool for data analysis. Each of the hypothesis was tested at .05 level of significance. The findings revealed that cloud and edge computing and artificial intelligence (AI) have relationship with academic performance of tourism students in the universities. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended amongst others that educational institutions should prioritize the development of ICT infrastructure and resources to support the adoption and implementation of technology applications in tourism studies.
