Abstract

This study determined the application of e-learning platforms in the implementation of Political Science Education curriculum in Covid-19 pandemic era in universities in Enugu State, Nigeria. Two specific objectives guided the study. These were: to ascertain the available e-learning platforms for the implementation of Political Science Education curriculum in the Covid-19 pandemic era; to establish the extent of the utilization of e-learning platforms in the implementation of Political Science Education curriculum. The study employed quantitative paradigm, specifically, the descriptive survey research design. Six universities were used for the study. The total number of respondents to the study was one hundred and twelve (112) persons; 84 final year Political Science Education students and 28 of their lecturers. Checklist and questionnaire were used to collect data. The researchers employed the services of two research assistants in data collection. Frequencies, percentages, mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions. The findings of the study indicate that e-learning platforms for effective implementation of Political Science Education curriculum were not adequately available. More so, that the extent of utilization of these e-learning platforms was low in this Covid-19 pandemic era. This implied that students’ academic performance was not enhanced during this period. The study therefore recommended blended learning to universities and in-service training for lecturers in order to overcome any challenge that can disrupt the academic calendar.
