Teachers’ Utilization of Virtual Learning Platforms for Instructional Delivery in Public Secondary Schools in South-South, Nigeria

Abstract: Teachers’ use of virtual learning platforms is becoming increasingly essential for instructional delivery in the 21st century school system. Teachers’ utilization of virtual learning platforms for instructional delivery in public secondary schools in South-South, Nigeria was explored in the study. A total of 160 teachers were purposively selected as sample for the study. Instrument adopted for gathering of data was a 15-item questionnaire with the title “Teachers Utilization of Virtual Learning Platforms Questionnaire (TUVLPQ)”. The entire 160 questionnaire distributed were retrieved on the spot within four weeks using four trained research assistants. Findings of the study showed that Zoom was the most used virtual platform for instructional delivery but was used at a very low extent across all levels. Challenges faced in the utilization of these devices included the problem of digital illiteracy and malfunction of devices. The study concluded there was still a low utilization of virtual platforms for instructional delivery and training on the use of alternative virtual platforms for teachers use was recommended.
