Radio as a pedagogical approach and students’ academic performance in Nigerian Universities: A study of the University of Cross River State students

Abstract

This study examines radio as a pedagogical approach and students‟ academic performance in Nigerian universities. The objective of the  study aims to ascertain the effectiveness of radio as a pedagogical tool in education at the tertiary level, among others. The quantitative  (survey) method was adopted for the study. Data were collected with questionnaire. The data collected were analyzed with the simple  percentage method while the result of the analysis revealed that radio is very effective as a pedagogical tool in education at the tertiary  level. Based on the findings, it was concluded that though there are other educational policies and programmes aimed at improving  students‟ academic performance in the university, students can also improve to a high extent on their academic performance in the  university through active radio listenership.
