Impact of computer literacy skills of pupils on learning outcomes in CRS using digital storytelling strategy

Abstract

This study examined the impact of computer literacy skills of pupils on learning outcomes in Christian Religious Studies (CRS) using Digital Storytelling Strategy (DSS) in some selected primary schools in Lagos State. A quasi experimental pre-test, post-test control group design was adopted for the study using intact class. Two research hypotheses were generated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The population of the study comprised of 450 pupils from nine public primary schools selected from three Local Education Areas of Lagos State. The data collected were analyzed using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) at 0.05 level of significance. The result obtained showed that the pupils with computer literacy skills were able to use the intervention and had better academic performance in CRS. Pupils exposed to DSS had the highest posttest value mean score of 52.55 above the control group with 35.86. Pupils in DSS had the highest posttest achievement mean score of 25.80. Based on this premise, digital storytelling strategies should be adopted by CRS teachers, particularly for the pupils with low computer literacy skills.
