Abstract

This study investigates the impact of internet use on tertiary institution students’ academic performance (AP). The objectives of the study are to ascertain the impact of internet usage on the AP of students in tertiary institutions, find out some of the difficulties encountered in the utilization of the internet by students in tertiary institutions, and determine some of the benefits of internet usage to students in tertiary institutions.  The sample size for this research consists of 300 students whose data were collected through the administration of questionnaires. The study employed the survey research method and the Chi-square (X2) method to analyse and test the various hypotheses formulated. Findings from the study show that there is a significant relationship between internet usage and the AP of students in tertiary institutions. Even though internet usage makes work faster and easier, there are various difficulties encountered in the utilization of the internet by students in tertiary institutions, and the study recommends some ways that will assist to mitigating these difficulties, as well as ways to improving internet use by tertiary institution students. Keywords: Academic performance, Institution, Learning, Student, Teaching
网络使用对高校学生学习成绩影响的探索性研究
本研究调查了网络使用对高校学生学习成绩的影响。本研究的目的是确定互联网使用对高等院校学生AP的影响,找出高等院校学生在使用互联网时遇到的一些困难,并确定互联网使用给高等院校学生带来的一些好处。本研究的样本量由300名学生组成,他们的数据是通过问卷管理收集的。本研究采用调查研究法和卡方(X2)法对所提出的各种假设进行了分析和检验。研究结果表明,高等院校学生的网络使用与AP之间存在显著关系。尽管互联网的使用使工作更快、更容易,但高等院校的学生在使用互联网时也遇到了各种困难,该研究建议了一些有助于缓解这些困难的方法,以及改善高等院校学生使用互联网的方法。关键词:学习成绩、机构、学习、学生、教学
