Abstract

Nowadays video plays a significant role in education in terms of its integration into traditional classes and be the principal delivery system of information in classes particularly in online courses as well as serving as a foundation for many blended classes. The study examines awareness and usage of Innovative Video Assisted Application (IVAA) among adult literary learners in Ondo State, Nigeria. Descriptive survey research design was used in this study. Two research questions and one research hypothesis were answered and tested in the study. The sample population consisted of 95 adult literacy learners purposively selected from the three adult literacy learners’ centres in Ondo State senatorial districts. Ondo State was divided into three senatorial districts (Ondo North, Central and South). From Ondo central district 34 respondents were selected, Ondo South district 36 respondents were selected and Ondo North 25 respondents were selected and it includes both male and female respondents. The instrument for this study was researcher’s self-developed questionnaire titled “Awareness and usage of Innovative Assisted Application among Adult Literacy Learners. Questionnaire (AUIVALLQ)”. The instrument was validated by three experts in Yoruba language, English language and Educational technology experts for face and content validity. Reliability coefficient of 0.79 on awareness and 0.80 on the usage of IAAP among adult literacy learners was obtained using Cronbach Alpha. Research Questions and hypothesis were answered and tested using mean, standard deviation and t-test statistical tool respectively. The findings of the study showed that the awareness level of adult literacy learners was high and the usage of IVAA was also high. It was also revealed that gender has nothing to do with the usage of IVAA among adult literacy learners for learning cultural literacy (93; t=.666; p > 0.05). The study therefore recommends that ministry of adult literacy should organize workshops for the adult literacy instructors and adult literacy learners on the effective ways of using IVAA for learning cultural literacy.
