THE ROLE OF MOBILE TECHNOLOGY IN ENHANCING BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION PROGRAMMES IN FEDERAL POLYTECHNIC, OKO, ANAMBRA STATE, NIGERIA
Abstract
Greater technology in learning has transcended traditional geographical and infrastructural boundaries, allowing access to learning resources from anywhere, anytime. The survey research design was adopted to examine the role of mobile technology in enhancing Business Administration programmes in Federal Polytechnic, Oko, Anambra State, Nigeria. The population of the study comprised all the 65 staff of the department. The entire population of the study was used due to the relatively manageable size; hence, the study adopted census technique. Three research questions guided the study. A 28-item structured questionnaire was used to collect data from the respondents, and data were analyzed using mean and standard deviation.
The findings revealed, among other things, that the current state of mobile technology integration in Business Administration programmes at Federal Polytechnic, Oko, is relatively low. It was therefore recommended that Business Administration educators should be encouraged to integrate mobile technology in Business Administration programmes since the current level of integration is still low.
