Abstract

The study assessed Zoom software utilization in teaching and learning in tertiary institutions in Plateau State. To achieve the aims of the study, two research questions were raised, and two hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. A descriptive survey design was adopted for the study. The population of the study comprises 58 business education lecturers who were all involved in the study. A 28-item questionnaire titled "Assessing Zoom Software Utilization in Teaching and Learning scale" (AZSUTL) was used for data collection. The instrument was validated by three experts, and 88 Cronbach Alpha Reliability Coefficients were the overall reliability index for the instrument. The data collected were analyzed using the mean, standard deviation, percentages, and one sample t-test. The findings of the study revealed that Zoom software is not available and that the utilization of Zoom software for teaching and learning is significantly low. It was however recommended, among others, that the management of tertiary institutions should liaise with all levels of government agencies to make Zoom software available in order to aid teaching and learning in tertiary institutions in Plateau State.
