Learning Styles of Business Education Students for Developing Digital Skill-Ecosystem in Rivers State Universities

Abstract

The descriptive survey study examined learning styles of business education students as a means of developing digital skill ecosystem in Rivers State Universities. In pursuit of this objective, two research questions and hypotheses were crafted to guide the research. Apart from that, a population of 80 2022/2023 sandwich PGDE / M.Sc /M.Ed students in two public universities were collectively used as sample. The five point rating scale questionnaire which has 14 –items was constructed for gathering relevant information from respondents. The instrument was initially administered to determine the internal consistency adopting test retest method and a reliability quotient of .76 was obtained. Thereafter, the quantitative data collected were subject to one-way ANOVA using SPSS Version 23 in order to establish whether or not significant variance exists. The results thus found the existence of non-significant difference between concrete experiencers, reflective observation as partly components of Kolb’s learning inventory styles for developing digital skill ecosystem. Among other it was recommended that Students in universities should practice reflective observation to increase their insights, brainstorms to provide solution to problems by consulting widely diverse sources of information that would invariably boost their digital skill ecosystem.
