Web Technology Skills Acquisition by Computer Science Students at Polytechnics In Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria

Abstract

The main aim of this study was to determine the level of web technology skills acquired by computer science students in polytechnics in Akwa Ibom State-Nigeria. The study adopted a descriptive survey research method. Two research questions were raised and two research hypotheses were formulated and tested at a 0.05 significant level. Six polytechnics are made up of two public and four private polytechnics.

Based on the data analyzed, the finding revealed the result of mean and standard deviation on the level of acquisition of content design skills by public and private polytechnic computer science students. However, the extent of acquisition in public Polytechnics shows six very high levels (HL) and six high levels (HL) respectively, while the results for private Polytechnics show six high levels (HL) and six low levels (LL). This implies that public Polytechnic is doing better than private Polytechnics in the acquisition of content design skills in Akwa Ibom State.
