Abstract

In the digital age, educational institutions increasingly rely on technology to enhance teaching and learning processes. Learning Management Systems (LMS) have emerged as essential tools for delivering instructional content, promoting student engagement, and improving academic performance. In international private secondary schools, particularly in urban centers like Abuja, Nigeria, LMS adoption has become more prominent. With the increasing integration of digital technologies in education, LMS platforms, such as: Moodle, Google Classroom, and Canvas have become central to instructional delivery and learning engagement. Based on the foregoing, the study assesses the extent of implementation and impact of LMS on students’ academic performance in selected international private secondary schools in Abuja, Nigeria. The study answered three research questions, and descriptive survey research design provided the foundational blueprint for the study. A sample size of 375 respondents was drawn through a multi-stage sampling technique. This was composed of 60 teachers, 15 ICT personnel, and 300 students. The researchers’ developed instrument, ‘Implementation, Challenges and Impact of Learning Management Systems on Students’ Academic Performance Questionnaire (ICILMSSAPQ), was used to collect data, after its validation by three experts. Cronbach alpha method was adopted in testing the instrument for internal consistency, and a reliability coefficient of 0.78 confirmed the instrument as satisfactory. The researchers, together with five research assistants, used both direct and online administration strategies to collect relevant data. Descriptive statistical tools, basically mean and frequency tables were adopted for the data analysis. Findings revealed that on average, LMS are moderately implemented in international private secondary schools in Abuja, with varying degrees of utilization. It also revealed that, to a high extent, LMS en
