CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
This chapter presents all the related information, topics, ideas,
studies, and observations by various researchers, writers, and authors
on the variables which formed the conceptual framework of this study.
ICT
According to Babalola (2007) to determine the effectiveness
of video and comparison with selected instructional media for
teaching primary school pupils and rural children in Africa and
agriculture and environmental sciences. Thus, the effect of
gender and grade on the performance of the pupils taught with
four instructional media 240 pupils from 3 rural primary school
in Badagry local Government Area of Lagos state, Nigeria were
taught three topics drawn from agriculture and environmental
sciences. The rebuild that the pupils taught with the video
performed equally as well as those taught real objects while
both groups perform significantly done those taught and without
instructional medium. There was no significant difference
performance based on the gender, only the group without
instructional medium had a significant difference. The study
conclude that videos are more than effective than traditional
teacher in teaching primary school children agriculture and
environmental issues this confirms that the assertion of many
researchers of the potential of using video as a medium of
instruction in teaching varying subjects to adults, youths and
children in the formal school system. Based on the findings of
this study it is concluded that the use of video in teaching
primary school pupils is as effective as when the teacher uses
the real objects in teaching agricultural and environmental
sciences. The use of media as instructional materials is more
effective than the use of charts and when no instructional media
is used.
Furthermore, promoting of using computers in the classroom
is more effective and it can gain more knowledge and develop the
ability of learners and using computers in the classroom has
proven advantageous is more than one respect. But according to
Frizzler (1995) that even though they will never replace
teachers. The findings revealed that the majority of the student
reported being fairly proficient to proficient in computer,
skill such as the deleting files (81. 43%), formatting a floppy
disk (67.15%) copying files (78.57%) and installing a program
on a hard disk (64.29%), while most are reported being not or a
little proficient in computer skill such as using images from a
camcorder or digital camera and computers (84.76%), using
PowerPoint (80%), and creating data bases (78.09%), the results
further revealed no significant effect for year of study on
students perception on computer literacy. Despite the benefits
of using the computer in language teaching and learning, there
has been a shortage it is use in Jordanian classroom. Jordan
has implemented educational reform measures to improve the
quality of education, computerized schools, modernized curricula
and teaching methods, enhance teaching and learning processes
to ensure equal access for the poor in regards to basic education
among the learners. Despite these findings, research suggest a
correlation between changes in preservice teachers’ perception
and classroom technology use. Lot of researcher has been
conducted on the effect of computer use on various aspects of
the educational process on how they use. However, although the
literature emphasizes the strong relationship between the user’s
proficiency in and attitudes towards using the computers, it has
little research, the user’s perception of their computer
literacy and the obstacles that face them, especially in third
world countries. The present researchers urge fellow researchers
to conduct further research on the students and teachers need
for and attitudes towards the use of computer for educational
purposes, on the effect of the usage of computer on teaching-
learning the various skills, on contextualizing- providing a
cultural context for foreign language learning- on promoting
learner autonomy and independent learning, and on developing
students to improve their critical thinking and problem solving
abilities with the help of computers.
According to Ruba fahmi et,al.(2006) teacher’s influence
in the use of information and communication technologies (ICT)
at schools, such as years of experience, gender the duration of
computer and internet use and to determine the level of knowledge
the most commonly used and well-known ICT types among teachers
are the internet, email and etc. attitude towards computer and
the internet are generally positive ICT has potential tools for
change and innovation in education. Turkey spent about $400 per
person, and allocated 11.7% of its budget to ICT however this
rate is lower than those of Europe and central Asia, Turkish
ministry of national education make attempts to disseminate ICT
at school as other countries one of the factors that determine
educational development and innovation in general is teachers
as they are the ones to use the ICT investments for educational
development.
Adoption
According to Wael Sh. Basri et al.(2018) Information
communication technology (ICT) is one of the latest
innovation that help revolutionized various operation in
the world. It has became particularly important in the field
of education since it has recently created such platforms
and opportunities that have facilitated to some extent the
acquisition of knowledge. As a result, it has seen evident
that majority of the respondents value ICT, each of them
feels that they should have the facility in order to have
the opportunity to adopt on ICT more closely.
Due to the accessibility to the internet and the cost of gadgets
a large number of students mentions that the absence of ICT to
them have resulted in difficulty to utilize ICT platforms on
regular basis. It also reveals that more than fifty percent of
the students keep accounts on social media. This indicates
that ICT performs a role more than academic for most
students. Besides searching for information from the
internet is much more convenient than searching manually
on the books present in the libraries, these university
students make use of ICT for communication and social
connections with friends and relatives. This explains why
it is a major booster to academic performance of the
students. Often the same students can use ICT to facilitate
discussions and feedback on academic matters from teachers,
seniors, and colleagues. This kind of interaction is
necessary to improve their study and research skills as
well as their camaraderie.
It also revealed that students who achieve score higher grades
in GPA are more interested in ICT that their colleagues who
scolre lower grades. This is likely because ICT provides some
basic knowledge for anyone. Smarter students are therefore
likely to embrace ICT. Furthermore, students remain brighter
because they embrace the technology which requires concentration
of the participants.

The Conceptual Framework
Popular media has been evolving since the invention of
technological products such as newspapers, magazines,
encyclopedias, videos specially on the internet what we call
blogs, documentaries, articles, social media and others.
The conceptual framework shown in Figure 1 consists of
interplay of dependent and independent variables used in this
study. In this study the researchers conceptualized that the
school consist of namely: students and teachers has correlation
that directly implicates students’ learning skills with the help
of ICT of the school in terms of laboratories, equipment.
