Abstract
This study appraised progress and challenges
to effective teaching and learning in university education in the South-Eastern
part of Nigeria. The researchers recognized the fact that there is a decline in
the quality of university graduates; and sought to find out possible factors to
the observed phenomenon. The survey research design was adopted, and a sample
size of 372 respondents from six universities (3 federal and 3 states) who were
academic staff was randomly selected for the study. The results of data
analysis using independent t-test statistical analysis technique at 95%
confidence interval revealed that male and female lecturers do not differ in
their opinion that there is inadequate and ineffective teaching and learning
supports initiatives in our universities. The results further revealed that the
inadequate and ineffective teaching and learning supports initiatives does
differ in terms of school ownership (Federal and State). It is recommended that
tertiary education in Nigeria be adequately funded, and that managers of institutions
of higher learning should devise mechanisms to ensure proper utilizations of
such funds for the provision of pedagogical supports for teachers and students.
ICT trainings for both staff and students are a dare necessity in our tertiary
institutions.
