Educational Technology in Resource-Constrained Environments: A Nigerian Case Study

摘要

Resource-constrained educational environments are unable to attain optimal pedagogical benefits due to impeding social, economic and cultural factors. This paper is an exploration of learning in these environments, employing Nigeria as the geographical context. The focus is on reported case studies of technological interventions and the associated learning outcomes. Findings reveal a limited number of studies, a sole preference for the quantitative research methodology and software-based educational technology. However, the reviewed studies are unanimous in their verdict of the impact of educational technology on the learning. Accounts of improved confidence, engagement, performance/achievement, retention, participation collaboration were documented.
