ABSTRACT
This study was designed to examine students’ knowledge and attitude towards cloud computing in Ondo state Tertiary institutions. Five research questions were raised and three hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The descriptive research design was adopted for this study. The population of the study comprised of all the Three Hundred and Twenty three Mathematics Education Students in the two Tertiary Institutions in Ondo state. The simple random sampling technique was used to select three hundred and seven students out of the three hundred and twenty three mathematics students. The research instruments for this study were “Knowledge of Students on Cloud Computing (KSCC)” and “Attitude of Students on Cloud Computing (ASCC)”. The K-R 20 and Cronbach’s Alpha statistics were used to determine the level of reliability of KSCC and ASCC to yield reliability coefficients of 0.66 and 0.89 respectively. The results indicated an average level of students’ knowledge on cloud computing in tertiary institutions and a positive attitude of Mathematics Education students towards cloud computing in tertiary institutions in Ondo state. Furthermore, the results showed that there is no significant difference in the mean score of the students’ knowledge of cloud computing based on their gender, school type and school academic level and as well as no significant difference in the mean scores of student’s attitude towards Cloud Computing based gender, school type and school level while from the results, there is no significant relationship between level of knowledge and attitude of students on the use of cloud computing. Based on the findings in the study, it is recommended that there should be provision of an e library where students will be free to access information, awareness and orientation programs for the students on cloud computing to enable them to have more knowledge and develop positive attitude towards cloud computing.
