THE IMPACT OF INTERNET ON ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF NIGERIAN STUDENTS

CHAPTER ONE

1.0       INTRODUCTION

1.1       BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The internet provides several opportunities for academic performance and competence among students. It is a mechanism for information dissemination and a medium for collaborative interaction between individual and their computers without regard for geographic limitation of space.

Leiner et al, (2000): Singh, (2002), the word internet is derived from two words; “international” and “network”. The Internet therefore can be defined as an international computer network of information available to the public through modern links.

Effects of Social Conflicts on Sustainable Development in the Society 

 INTRODUCTION

Human history is characterized with conflict. There is now consensus among scholars on the inevitability of conflict in relations among human being (Weeks 1992, Fraiser and Hipel 1984, Burton 1997, More 1987, Okoh and Ewhariemen 2001). What therefore differs is the approach or strategy adopted to resolve or manage a particular conflict situation. The effectiveness or otherwise of the management of conflict is itself largely dependent on how the causes of the conflict have been understood.
