INFLUENCE OF ORIENTATION AND MOBILITY ON ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF VISUALLY IMPAIRED LEARNERS IN SPECIAL SECONDARY SCHOOL IN OREDO LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA EDO STATE, OF BENIN

ABSTRACT

This research project has illuminated the significant impact of cybercrime involvement on students' academic performance at the University of Benin, Nigeria. The findings underscore the importance of understanding the correlation between cybercrime involvement and academic success, particularly in the Nigerian context where cybercrime among university students has surged. However, the study reveals a gap between the perceived impact of cybercrime involvement and the actual academic performance of students, indicating a need for more targeted interventions and improved communication about these strategies. The study also highlights the need for more effective, visible interventions in managing cybercrime activities, and improved interdisciplinary collaboration with teachers, parents, and community organizations. While respondents acknowledge the negative impact of cybercrime involvement on academic performance, the study suggests a need for more proactive measures in universities. The research underscores the potential of strategic interventions to contribute significantly to the domains of academic performance, cybercrime management, and collaborative approaches in the Nigerian educational context. The findings of this study serve as a call to action for stakeholders in the education sector to recognize and address the impact of cybercrime on students' academic performance.
