Abstract


The study investigated the factors associated with integrating electronics teaching and learning into senior secondary education in Ilorin metropolis, Kwara State. The study used a descriptive survey research method. The research focused on the whole population of senior secondary school teachers, specifically targeting those in three local government areas that comprise Ilorin. A total of 225 instructors from various topics in public senior secondary schools were randomly chosen from the senior secondary schools in Ilorin East, Ilorin South, and Ilorin-West local government areas. Data collection was conducted using a validated questionnaire designed by researchers, which had a reliability value of 0.79. The study prompted two research inquiries. The data gathered was analysed using descriptive statistics. The survey disclosed that the predominant electronic equipment used were computers and interactive whiteboards. The study revealed that the primary obstacles to the effective utilisation of electronic devices and platforms for education were the high cost of certain software, limited knowledge of information technology, difficulties in interpreting certain software, limited access to educational resources, expenses associated with internet access, unreliable internet connectivity, and inadequate electricity supply. It was recommended, among other, that instructors in senior secondary schools should not be discouraged by the difficulties associated with incorporating electronic teaching and learning into senior secondary education. Instead, they should persist in their attempts to encourage their students
