Abstract
This study investigated students' readiness for digital learning in senior
secondary schools in Lagos state, Nigeria. Descriptive survey research design
was adopted for the study. A sample size of 245 respondents was randomly
selected from four educational districts in Lagos state using confidence level
of 95% (0.05). A Multi stage sampling approach involving both simple and
stratified random sampling technique was used to select the participant. The
participants were randomly selected across 8 schools in four educational
districts. A checklist titled; “Students’ Readiness towards Digital Learning”
was used to elicit responses from the respondents. The instrument was
validated and found to be reliable. It was personally administered by the
researchers. Four research questions and two hypotheses guided the study.
Both descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviation were used to
answer the research questions and inferential statistics was used to test the
hypotheses. The findings of the study revealed among others that there is
positive disposition/perception of respondents towards digital learning. The
study also revealed that there is no significant gender difference in perception
and utilization of digital learning facilities among the students. The study
therefore recommended that the secondary school administrators should
incorporate digital learning as part of the curriculum to enhance teaching and
learning.
