E-Learning Impediment in Nigerian Nursing Education: A Jigawa State Perspective

Adamu Garba, Kabiru Usman Shehu, Salihu Garba Auyo

Abstract

This study investigates the impediments to e-learning within Nigerian nursing education, focusing on Jigawa State. It explores the challenges faced by nursing students in adapting to digital learning environments and identifies the barriers to effective e-learning implementation. A total of 100 questionnaires were distributed among nursing students in tertiary institutions across Jigawa State, with a response rate of 92%. The analysis of the responses highlights significant obstacles, including inadequate access to personal computers, limited internet connectivity, and insufficient digital literacy. The findings emphasize the need for collaborative efforts between tertiary institution management and the government to establish frameworks that facilitate the acquisition of personal computers for nursing students. Addressing these barriers is critical for enhancing the e-learning experience and ensuring that nursing education in Jigawa State keeps pace with technological advancements. The study concludes with recommendations aimed at overcoming these challenges and promoting a more conducive e-learning environment for nursing education in the region.
