INTRODUCTION
Background
to the Study
E-Learning is the act of
taking a course online using a modem, wireless or cable connection to access
academic course materials from a computer, phone or other devices. Oye, & Laheal
(2012), describes E-Learning (EL) as the use of information and communication
Technology e.g. Internet, Computer, Mobile Phone, Learning management system
(LMS), Television, Radios and others to enhance teaching and learning
activities. E-learning is a unifying term used to describe the fields of online
learning, web-based training and technology to deliver instructions. According
to Himanshu & Pandey (2013), e-learning focuses on usage of technology in
the field of education and learning. E-learning refers to the use of the
advanced technology of information communication in the learning process where
the advanced technology comprises of electronic media. In the current scenario,
the rapid growth of information and communication technology has led to the “e”
becoming the symbol of this latest age of information technology. The alphabet
‘e’ is used as abbreviation with “e” are currently emerging in every second
field, such ass e-learning, e-health, e-commerce, e-banking, e-government and
many more. In the current scenario, where the world is being dominated by
globalization, networking and information technology has reached its peak,
e-learning plays a vital role in the field of education.
EL has become an
increasingly popular learning approach in higher educational institutions due
to vast growth of internet technology. Nowadays E-Learning has a competitive
advantage and many universities, colleges of education and other tertiary
institutions have implemented it and this has impacts on the student’s
performance (Yakaraju 2014). E-Learning centers on the inter section of
education, teaching and learning with ICT it clearly preceded by two other
disciplines; educational technology and distance education. These two
disciplines have uniquely contributed to the intensive use of ICT for
educational purposes. E-Learning is also a natural evolution of distance
learning, which has taken advantages of latest tools to emerge in the context
of technologies for structuring education. Most electronic learning courses or
programmes are available anytime and anywhere through the world-wide web (www).
According to Abimbola and Abolade (2009), the world-wide web breaks down the
walls of time and geographic location, and gives every individual the ability
to be a continuing and lifelong learner through accessing the resources of the
‘website via email.
University education and
other tertiary education in Nigeria today Is the responsibility of government
entrepreneurs, agencies, or groups such as religious bodies, communities,
universities and corporate bodies. Decree No 9 of 1993 prescribes minimum
conditions to allow the establishment of universities under certain guidelines
determines by the government.
The supervision of these schools is
secured by the federal and state ministry of education. To this end, the goals
of teacher education among other are to;
v Help
teachers to fit into social life of the community and the society at large and
enhance their commitment to national goals.
v Provide
teachers with intellectual and professional background adequate for their
assignment and make them adaptable to changing situations
v Encourage
further the spirit of enquiry and creativity in teachers… (National policy on
education 2014).
To make those goals
realizable in the Nigerian University system, college of education, institutes
of Education, Nigerian teachers institutes among others, both private and
public tertiary institutions, course units system is presently being practiced.
The course unit system is particularly interesting in the sense that students
have the flexibility of choosing a course of their choice for a particular
semester and can be able to carry out further research through the use of ICT
whereby research articles, field notes, lecture materials, monographs tutorials
and other training materials are deposited repositories.
According to Oye (2011), most
libraries in Nigeria higher institutions and secondary schools have
audio-visual materials that are rarely utilized as a result incessant power
outages and sometimes lack of awareness and self-motivation on the part of the
students. I n some tertiary institutions, their E-Learning does not add any
value to the teaching and learning activities of their institutions as a result
of some limitation afore mentioned and perhaps they do not investigate the
impact of E-learning on student Academic performance. Much research has not
been done on the relationship of E-Learning use and student academic
performance. Emmanuel Alayande College of education has an e-learning site
designed for teaching learning using module software package, but it is not
fully utilized by both students and lecturers. This is because the computer
managed instruction (CMI) established by the school in 2001 to be ICT compliant
were merely used for the processing and production of students and Staff
identity cards (EACOED Student’s Information Handbook (2015) It is on this view
that Abimbola, (1988) cited in Onasanya & Adegbija (2007) observed that in
(CMI) the student does not receive any instruction from the computer, rather,
students’ instructions are managed using computer.
It has been found that
student in higher institutions that engaged in E-learning generally performed
better than those in face to face courses (Rodger, 2008 & Holley, 2012)
found that student who participate in online/E-learning achieve better grades
than students who studies traditional approach. As a result of this finding the
students in EACOED that uses E-Learning may perform better than those who use
traditional method that focuses on teachers rather than the students. A teacher
determines what to teach, how to teach and thus less concern about the students
that are at the receiving end.
There are various
approaches source being put in place to compensate for the problems occasioned
by this traditional learning paradigm. For example online instruction has the
potential to provide opportunities for reflective and integrating learning
outcomes. This approach provides the students adaptive personalized e-learning
because is a general term used to refer to computer enhanced learning. It may
involves the use of mobile technologies such as personal digital assistant and
Mp3/MP4 player, web based teaching materials hypermedia, discussion boards,
collaborative software, e-mail, blogs, wikis, text chart, flash video, compass,
finder, etcetera, should be use as a pedagogically powerful tool for the
consumption and modeling of knowledge Sunil (2017). Therefore, the survival of
Islamic Religious Studies in institutions in the 21st century will
increasingly rely on various forms of electronic delivery system and
communication facilities that are available in market as requirements for
educational flexibility.
Statement
of the Problem
This study is informed by
the deplorable state of educational system in Nigeria due to the inadequate
teaching learning facilities and infrastructures. Most libraries in Nigerian
higher institutions in particular EACOED have audio-visual learning and other
sophisticated teaching and learning materials but are rarely utilized as a
result of incessant power outages and sometimes lack of awareness on the part
of the students.
Purpose
of the Study
a. To
examine the influence of E-learning instructional packages on academic
performance of Islamic Religious students.
b. To
facilitate the achievement of (formal or informal) e-learning goals.
c. To acknowledge
how parental educational background influence the use of E-learning instructional
packages to achieve academic performance of the students.
d. To
assist the Islamic education students develop interest in good study habit and
effective use of E-learning instructional packages to achieve educational goal.
Research
Questions
The following research
questions were generated to guide the conduct of this study;
a. Can
E-learning instruction packages influence educational performance of students?
b. Does
parental educational background influence the effective use of E-learning for academic
achievement?
c. Is
there any correlation between E-learning instructional packages and academic
achievement of students?
Hypotheses
The following
hypotheses would be tested in this study:
H01 There is no significant difference between
the academic performance of the students that use E-learning instruction
packages and students that use traditional pedagogy
H02 There is no significant
difference between the academic performance of students with high level
parental educational background and students with low level parental
educational background in the use of E-learning to achieve educational goals.
H03 There is no significant correlation
between using of E-learning instructional packages and academic performance of
students
Scope

Significance
of the Study
This
study is significant because, it may assist EACOED especially department of
Islamic Religious Studies in ensuring quality instruction in distance education
and other educational programmes, this is because it would promote greater
interactivity among students, instructors and learning materials. Finding may
also sensitize the instructor and facilitators on how information technology
devices can be used to expand and extent formal education to the needy.
Findings of this study would motivate students and increase their involvement
and participation in the use of technology for subject matter delivery in NCE
courses.
Findings
of this study maybe a contribution to the government at all level with the
policy to develop innovative materials for use in schools. In the same way, the
study provides an insight knowledge and guidelines that may be of help to
policy makers in Nigeria. It will equally be useful for organization like
colleges of Education and other organization that may likely be aiming and
preparing to use information and communication technology for subject matter
delivery. It is hoped that findings of this study may help instructors in
institutions in the country to improve in the use of computer and other
e-learning materials to facilitate classroom activities.
Finally,
this study provides an input and variety of instructional strategies to the
students, teachers and researchers in the area of E-learning. Also findings and
recommendation of this study may serve as a stepping stone to future researchers
who may be interested in conducting further researches in E-learning and this
may bring about significant improvement in the teaching and learning processes
in Nigeria.
