Description

This study investigated the perceptions, attitudes, and challenges of students
towards the adoption of e-learning as alternative teaching and learning
approach during the onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic, in the case of
the Ghana Institute of Journalism (GIJ) and the Ghana Communication
Technology University (GCTU). The purpose of the study was to investigate
and examine perceptions, attitudes, and challenges of students in the
adoption of e-learning as alternative teaching and learning during the
pandemic. The study adopted a purposive and random stratified sampling
technique to respond to hypothetical issues; that there is a significant
relationship between students’ perceptions, attitudes and challenges and the
adoption of e-learning in the COVID-19 crisis. From the perspective of the
students, findings include a lack of data bundles, online learning being
difficult and the unpreparedness of the institutions to adopt e-learning within
the first four weeks of the pandemic. The adoption of e-learning as
alternative learning in Tertiary institutions, in the wake of the COVID-19
pandemic, is quite novel and still evolving and educational institutions are
quite far from absolute transformation.
