Information and communication technology as a blended-learning tool for sustainable development for university students. PONTE International Journal of Sciences and Research. 79(1): 47-66. doi:10.21506/j.ponte.2023.1.4https://hdl.handle.net/10321/5481The integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) as a blended-learning tool into traditional classroom-based teaching and learning has been shown to improve students' academic performance at globe and is essential to economic development. These claims were investigated in a sample of undergraduate students at the faculty of Education, University of Ibadan, Nigeria. Based on the goals of the research, a purposeful sample of students was chosen. It used a mixed-method survey design. A total of 117 students completed the online survey (quantitative component); while a focus group interview with 4 students (qualitative component) was conducted. The findings showed significant barriers to, and affordances of, the use of ICT as a blended-learning tool. In addition, the study discusses student access to ICT devices and internet facilities on campus, student proficiency in using these devices and facilities, and the impact these have on students’ academic activities. Finally, conclusions and recommendations are discussed in the context of graduate career opportunities and national economic sustainable development20 penInformation and communication technologies in educationBlended learningVirtual learningUniversity studentsSustainable developmentArticle2024-09-0410.21506/j.ponte.2023.1.4
