Abstract: The study determined the effect of adaptive learning approach (ALA) on students' retention in chemistry in Awka Education Zone. Two research questions and three hypotheses guided the study. The design of the study was Quasi-experimental design. The population of the study was 1, 942 senior secondary three (SS3) students offering chemistry in Awka Education Zone out of which a sample size of 109 students was drawn using purposive and random sampling techniques for the study. The instrument for data collection was Chemistry Achievement Test (CAT) validated by three experts. The reliability of CAT was established using Kuder-Richardson Formula 20 to be 0.70. Research questions were answered using mean and standard deviation awhile analysis of covariance......

Abstract: The rapid pace of economic development in the world has initiated and demand for technological growth in education and training system as a global yard stick for continuous improvement. As internet connectivity expands, online education and training content becomes readily available. This, therefore, calls for broader networking opportunities and adoption of Information Communication Technology (ICT) to improve access and performance in education and training for lifelong learning. There is a marked improvement by the government investment in e-learning in tertiary institutions in Kenya while trainees' performance in national tests is declining. The specific objectives of this study were: to determine the influence of trainers' based individual factors about e-learning.....
