| dc.description.abstract | The study investigated the problems militating against effective use of e-learning devices in teaching biology in FCT Abuja. Descriptive survey research design was adopted. There are 215 biology teachers in 62 secondary schools in FCT. 20 schools were selected using simple random sampling technique and 120 teachers were selected from the six area councils of Abuja to produce the sample size of the study. Two instruments were used, Availability of Biology E-learning Devices (ABED) check list and Biology Teacher Use of Eleaming Devices Questionnaire (BTUEDQ) was used for data collection. ABED an r BTUEDQ was validated by two experts in Science Education. Cronbach alpa was used to obtain a reliability coefficient of 0.76 of BTUEDQ while mean and standard deviation were ised to answer the research questions. The study revealed that schools are not adequately equipped with e-leaming devices. Also, that the utilization of e-learning devices in delivering biology lessons is very poor. It is therefore recommended that government should provide adequate eleaming devices, power and internet facilities to schools as well as organize seminars, conferences on computer related programmes for teachers. | en_US |
