Abstract

This study investigated the constraints in the application of e-learning in secondary schools in Bayelsa State, Nigeria. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. Four hundred (400) teachers in public secondary schools were used as the sample for the study. The instrument for data collection was self-developed questionnaires titled, ‘Teachers’ Constraints in the Application of E-learning Tools’ (TCAET) and ‘Strategies for Improving E-learning Application by Teachers’ (SIEAT. The study revealed constraints and strategies in the application of e-learning in secondary schools in Bayelsa State, Nigeria. It was recommended among other things that, the government should embark on a massive computer training program for teachers. Teachers should be trained and retrained through in–service training, seminars, workshops and conferences for acquisition of the knowledge and skills needed for e-learning application in secondary schools in Bayelsa State, Nigeria.
