Abstract

This study was carried out to examine the relationship between students’ technological self-efficacy and their academic performance in the Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro. The study is descriptive in design and employs survey method with the use of questionnaire to gather data. Three research questions were raised from which the questionnaire was developed to gather data.The population consists of students from the five schools/faculties in the Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro, Ogun State. A total of 150 students were randomly selected from the five schools as the sample size. Data collected were analyzed using simple frequency and mean method. The result indicates that technological self-efficacy has a great influence on students’ academic performance and perseverance in higher education. New technologies provide public accessibility to a vast variety of educational resources and learning opportunities. It is therefore recommended that Policy Makers should see technology use in education as a cure-all for the decline in the current educational system. To this end, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) courses should be included into students’ curriculum at every level of education. This will help increase the technological self-efficacy of students.
