Teachers Perceptions on the use of Zoom Cloud Meeting for Instructional Delivery in Secondary Schools in Enugu Education Zone

Abstract

This study was conducted to find out the perceptions of Teachers on the extent to which interactive social media such as Zoom Cloud Meeting can be used for instructional delivery in secondary schools in Enugu Education Zone. Enugu Education Zone comprises Enugu East, Enugu North and Isi-uzo Local Government Areas of Enugu State. A research question and a null hypothesis were formulated to guide the study. Descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The population for the study comprised 1,721 teachers in the 31 Government secondary schools in Enugu Education Zone. The sample size of the study was 345 secondary school teachers, and six schools in Enugu Education Zone. A 13 items questionnaire designed by the researcher was used as instrument for data collection. The instrument was face-validated by three research experts. The reliability co-efficient of the instrument was calculated using Cronbach alpha. The reliability coefficient of 1.82 was obtained and the grand reliability coefficient of 3.65 was obtained for the entire instrument. The research question was analyzed using mean scores and standard deviation while the null hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance using Z-test statistics. One of the major Findings of the study was that interactive social media such as Zoom cloud meeting can be utilized for instructional delivery in secondary schools in Enugu Education zone in particular and Enugu State in General. Based on the Findings, some recommendations were made. Enugu state government through ministry of education should consider lifting the ban on the use of cell phones by secondary schools students. This will enable teachers deliver instruction through social media especially these days of frequent “sit-at-home” and consequent closure of schools at such period.
