Abstract


The study was carried out to assess undergraduate business and entrepreneurship education students’ perceptions of digital technology usage in tertiary institutions in Delta State in Nigeria. Two research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. A sample of 100 students was randomly drawn using balloting and proportionate stratified random sampling techniques. A questionnaire was used to collect data. The reliability of the instrument was obtained through Cronbach's Alpha. A reliability coefficient of 0.88 was obtained as a measure of internal consistency. The data collected were analysed with the mean and Z-test. Mean was employed to answer research questions, while the Z-test was applied to test hypotheses at a 0.05 level of significance. The result showed a high perception of students on digital technologies in classroom activities in the tertiary institutions. There was no significant difference between male and female students, as well as 300-level and 400-level students, on digital technologies usage in classroom activities. Therefore, it was noted that digital technologies should be employed in the delivery of business and entrepreneurship education programmes in tertiary institutions in Nigeria.
