Background of the study :

Teachers' perceptions play a crucial role in the adoption and effective implementation of e-learning in secondary schools. In Yola East LGA, Adamawa State, the rapid expansion of digital education initiatives has underscored the importance of educators’ attitudes and beliefs toward technology in shaping learning outcomes (Ibrahim, 2023). E-learning offers numerous advantages, including flexible access to educational materials, interactive content, and opportunities for self-directed learning; however, its success largely depends on teachers' willingness to integrate these tools into their pedagogical practices (Chinwe, 2024). Positive perceptions can lead to enthusiastic adoption, while skepticism and resistance may hinder the integration of e-learning platforms in the classroom.

In Yola East LGA, varying levels of digital literacy among teachers, coupled with inadequate training and support, have contributed to diverse attitudes toward e-learning (Abdul, 2024). Some educators embrace the change and actively incorporate digital tools into their teaching strategies, thereby enhancing student engagement and facilitating a more interactive learning environment (Olu, 2023). Others, however, remain apprehensive about the challenges posed by technological complexities, potential disruptions, and the increased workload associated with transitioning to e-learning (Bello, 2023). These divergent perceptions not only affect the rate of adoption but also the overall effectiveness of e-learning initiatives in improving academic performance.

This study investigates how teachers' perceptions influence the adoption of e-learning in secondary schools in Yola East LGA. It examines factors such as technological competency, perceived ease of use, and the perceived benefits of digital learning on student outcomes (Aminu, 2023). By analyzing these dimensions, the study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the obstacles and facilitators to e-learning adoption. The research draws on established theoretical frameworks in technology acceptance and educational innovation, thereby offering evidence-based insights that could inform policy decisions and targeted professional development programs. The ultimate goal is to identify strategies to support teachers in overcoming barriers, thus fostering a more favorable environment for e-learning implementation and enhancing the overall quality of education in the region (Usman, 2024).

Statement of the problem :

Despite significant investments in digital infrastructure, the adoption of e-learning in secondary schools in Yola East LGA remains inconsistent, largely due to varying teachers’ perceptions. Many educators express concerns regarding the complexity of e-learning platforms, the potential for technical disruptions, and the increased demands on their time and resources (Olayinka, 2023). These apprehensions have led to reluctance in embracing digital teaching methods, which in turn has limited the effective implementation of e-learning initiatives. Moreover, the lack of adequate training and continuous professional development further reinforces negative perceptions and contributes to resistance among teachers (Ibrahim, 2024).

Consequently, the overall impact of e-learning on student performance is undermined, as students are deprived of the benefits of an enriched digital learning environment. The absence of a supportive framework that addresses teachers' concerns and enhances their digital competencies poses a significant challenge. Additionally, the disparity in teachers’ perceptions often results in unequal access to quality e-learning experiences across different schools, perpetuating educational inequities in the region (Chinwe, 2024). This study seeks to examine these issues by investigating the extent to which teachers’ perceptions affect the adoption of e-learning and identifying the factors that either facilitate or impede its integration. The goal is to propose targeted strategies that can help shift negative perceptions, foster professional growth, and ultimately improve the effectiveness of e-learning in secondary schools.

Objectives of the study:

1. To assess the impact of teachers’ perceptions on e-learning adoption.

2. To identify factors that influence teachers’ attitudes toward e-learning.

3. To recommend strategies for improving e-learning integration in secondary schools.

Research questions:

1. How do teachers’ perceptions affect the adoption of e-learning?

2. What factors contribute to positive or negative attitudes toward e-learning among teachers?

3. What measures can enhance teachers’ acceptance and effective use of e-learning platforms?

Research Hypotheses:

1. Positive teacher perceptions are associated with higher e-learning adoption.

2. Inadequate training negatively influences teachers’ attitudes toward e-learning.

3. Supportive professional development programs improve the integration of e-learning.

Significance of the study :

This study is significant as it explores the critical role of teachers’ perceptions in the successful adoption of e-learning in secondary schools in Yola East LGA. The findings will inform targeted interventions to improve teacher training and support, thereby enhancing the overall effectiveness of digital education. By addressing the attitudinal barriers, the research contributes to a more robust and inclusive e-learning environment that benefits both educators and students (Aminu, 2023).

Scope and limitations of the study:

This study is confined to secondary schools in Yola East LGA, Adamawa State, and examines the role of teachers’ perceptions in the adoption of e-learning. It does not extend to other educational levels or regions.

Definitions of terms:

1. E-learning: The use of electronic technologies to deliver educational content.

2. Teachers’ Perceptions: Educators’ attitudes, beliefs, and feelings about digital learning tools.

3. Digital Competency: The skills and knowledge required to effectively use digital technologies in teaching.
