Effective Learning Systems through Blended Teaching Modules in Adult Secondary Education Systems in Developing Nations: Need for Partnership
Ike, Eucharia; Okechukwu, Ibeh Bartholomew
Journal of Adult and Continuing Education, v21 n1 p18-30 May 2015
We investigated methodological lessons in randomly selected adult secondary schools to construct a case for international partnership while examining education development in Nigeria. Standard database and web-based searches were conducted for publications between 1985 and 2012 on learning systems. This paper presents its absence and finds a heavy (over 80%) reliance on traditional methods of learning in Nigeria with less than 3% partnership with developed nations/organisations accompanied by low standard of learning. The authors propose the introduction of a blended teaching model which can potentially improve learning while requiring partnership from other developed nations and non-governmental organisations to aid its sustenance.
