Journal of Emerging Trends in Educational Research and Policy Studies (JETERAPS) (Vol 1 No 1)
| Abstract: The changing trend from face-to-face teaching and learning to Open and Distance Learning (ODL) modes in public Universities has made it necessary to provide lecturers for capacity building opportunities to garner basic skills of ODL course designs, pedagogy, e-tutoring, examining students in line with best practices. The paper explored capacity building opportunities in the operations of ODL for global competitiveness in Nigeria. Two research questions guided the study. The study adopted a descriptive survey design. The sample of the study comprised 120 lecturers drawn by stratified sampling of 5 from the 11 dual-mode universities in Nigeria. The instrument of data collection was a 15 items structured questionnaire on a 4-point. Data collected was analyzed using statistical mean. Findings of the study revealed knowledge and skill gaps in the implementation of ODL programme among lecturers in the dual mode universities. This suggests limited access to capacity building opportunities in the operations of ODL in the dual-mode universities in Nigeria. It was recommended that deliberate efforts should be made by university administrators to facilitate continuous capacity building of lecturers in the key areas of ODL by providing specific budgetary allocation for retraining and exploring capacity building opportunities as in local, regional and international workshops. |
