Abstract
The paper primarily assessed the extent of senior secondary school students’ engagement with digital technologies for instructional purposes. It also examined the motivating factors influencing students’ use of digital technologies for learning, the challenges they encounter, and possible solutions to these challenges. The study adopted a survey research design, with 150 structured questionnaires randomly distributed to students from selected secondary schools in Argungu Local Government Area. Four research questions guided the study, and the data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics, specifically mean and standard deviation. The findings revealed that both students and teachers had limited knowledge of how to effectively use digital technologies to support teaching and learning. Other challenges identified included the high cost of digital devices, internet subscription fees, unstable internet connectivity, and irregular electricity supply. Based on these findings, the study recommended the provision of reliable internet connectivity, stable electricity, and adequate digital technologies. It also emphasized the need for seminars and workshops to train both teachers and students on the effective and responsible use of digital technologies in facilitating teaching and learning.
