Abstract:
This study examines the impact and effectiveness of educational broadcast methods implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic for secondary school students in Asaba, Delta State, Nigeria. Following the outbreak of COVID-19 in March 2020 and subsequent school closures, the Delta State Government adopted various educational broadcast methods and e-learning approaches to ensure educational continuity. Through a systematic analysis, this research investigates the level of utilization of educational broadcast methods, evaluates opportunities provided by the state government, identifies implementation challenges, and examines factors influencing technology acceptance among secondary school students. The study employs both quantitative and qualitative methodologies to assess the effectiveness of these emergency educational measures. Findings reveal significant variations in the utilization of educational broadcast methods among students, highlighting disparities in access and adoption. The research also uncovers critical challenges including inadequate internet facilities, insufficient teacher training in educational broadcasting methods, and technological infrastructure limitations. This study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on emergency remote education in developing countries and provides valuable insights for policymakers and educators in implementing effective distance learning solutions during crisis periods. The findings emphasize the need for improved technological infrastructure, enhanced teacher training programs, and more inclusive educational broadcast strategies to ensure equitable access to quality education during emergencies.
