Abstract


The study investigated the influence of collaborative website and online blogs on academic achievement of business education students in public tertiary institutions in Anambra State. Two research questions guided the study and two hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The population of the study comprised 261 (300 level) business education students in the 2021/2022 academic session from the four public tertiary institutions offering business education programme in Anambra State. The instrument for data collection was a structured questionnaire developed by the researcher and validated by three experts in the Faculty of Education, two from Vocational Education Department and one from Educational Foundation all in Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, Igbariam campus. Test of reliability of the instrument for internal consistency using Cronbach Alpha reliability method yielded coefficient values of 0.84 and 0.82 for clusters 1 and 2  respectively with an overall reliability co-efficient of 0.83. Out of 300 copies of questionnaire distributed, 239 copies were returned in good condition and used for the analysis of data. Mean, standard deviation and t-test were used to analyze data for the study. Findings of the study revealed that collaborative website and online blogs influences academic achievement of business education students to a high extent. Findings of the study also revealed that gender and location did not influence the opinions of the respondents on influence of collaborative website and online blogs on academic achievement of business education students in public tertiary institutions in Anambra State. Based on these findings the researcher recommended among others that administrators of business education programme should encourage the integration of collaborative website into business education curricula, as they have been shown to positively impact academic achievement.
