MANAGEMENT OF TECHNOLOGY-BASED INSTRUCTION AS A PREDICTOR OF ATTITUDE TO WORK AMONG NIGERIAN UNIVERSITY TEACHERS

Abstract

The present study focuses on management of technology-based instruction as a predictor of attitude to work among university teachers. Three research hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The study used a correlation design with a sample size of 450 university teachers in the Faculty of Education of selected two public Nigerian Universities using simple random sampling technique. Technology- Based Instruction Scale (TBIS) and University Teachers’ Attitude to Work Scale (UTAWS) were used for data collection. Three experts validate the instruments. Internal consistency reliability coefficients of 0.88, and 0.78 were obtained for (TBIS) and (UTAWS) respectively using Cronbach alpha method. To test the hypotheses, t-test associated with linear regression was used. The results indicated that management of technology-based instruction can significantly predict university teachers’ attitude to work to a high extent.  Based on the findings, some recommendations was highlighted to include that Nigeria government should collaborate with the non-governmental bodies which United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) is one and other international organizations in helping financially to provide viable technology tools for instructions towards promoting positive attitude to work of university teachers in Nigeria.
