ABSTRACT

The use of computer and its accessories in our daily activities, in spite of its usefulness have caused a lot of hazards to humans and the environment. Green computing aimed at reducing energy consumption and carbon emission, prevent wastage, cut cost and protect the environment. This study investigates educational technology stakeholders‘ awareness and readiness to green computing adoption in North central Nigeria. A cross sectional Survey research design was adapted to the conduct of the study. Nine research questions and six hypotheses were drawn to guide the study. Related literatures were reviewed after the conceptual framework based on the major variables of the study. The population of the study comprises of all the educational technology stakeholders in north central Nigeria. Purposive sampling was used to select two universities in north central Nigeria. Six hundred and six (606) educational technology stakeholders were selected using Krejcie and Morgan‘s tables.

The limit for decision rule: An average mean of 2.50 and above was considered as agreed, while an average mean of 2.49 and below was considered disagreed with respect to research questions. Kruskal-wallis test was used to answer hypotheses one, three and five while Mann-Whitney viii Independent test was used to analyse hypotheses two, four and six. The null hypotheses one, two and four were rejected while null hypotheses three and five and six were not rejected. Specifically, the findings of this study revealed that there is a significant difference in Green Computing Awareness among students, lecturers and technologist in North Central Nigeria with no significant difference in their readiness and adoption of Green Computing.
