Abstract

The study was carried out to assess the awareness, knowledge and skills of Computer science lecturers and students in machine learning in Lagos State University, Ojo, Lagos State. The sample for the study consisted of One hundred (100) selected Lecturers and students of Lagos State University using the simple random sampling technique. A selfdeveloped Questionnaire designed in line with Likert’s attitudinal four-point rating scale was used for data collection. The drafted questionnaire was face and content validated by the researcher’s supervisor and other research experts. The Kuder-Richardson formula 21 was used to determine the reliability coefficient of the research instrument. A total of one hundred (100) copies of the validated research instrument were administered on selected respondents using the spot technique to ensure high percentage returns. The data collected was analyzed using simple percentage and frequency counts for demographic data, while the inferential statistics of One Sample T-test was used to test all stated hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. Findings from the study revealed that a significant difference was recorded in the lecturers and students’ awareness of the use of machine learning. A significant difference was recorded in the lecturers and students’ knowledge in machine learning. And a significant difference was recorded in the lecturers and students’ skills in the application of machine learning in solving problem.
