REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

INTRODUCTION

The use of internet grants its users great awareness of the importance of the world

around them. The internet is a platform for several types of information. It used by the students

including secondary students (Akin-Adaemola, 2014). Internet usage will continue to grow as long as it

users are not denied easy access (Olarokun, 2008). Recent statistics indicate that the internet gives

people the option to access information sites as well as other sites such as social media sites, internet

games , and cyber-sex (Siraj et al. 2015). A study by Ellore et al. (2014) on the influence of internet

usage on academic performance and face to face communication revealed that as a result of the

availability of internet, most students have had access to Internet on their cellphones. This helps

student to broaden their academic knowledge (Siraj, et al.,2015). The use of computer and access to

online resources according to Akende and Bamise (2019) are comparatively important to student.

Yesilyurt et al. (2014) showed that access to a home computer and internet connection

contributes to students’ academic performance as well as self-learning skills. Considering access and
usage of the internet by secondary school student in Nigeria, Olatokun (2008) indicated that most

students believed the internet to be far better and convenient than their school libraries. The study

pointed out that students see the internet as a source for general knowledge, and it really helps them

improve their reading habits leading to an improvement in their academic performance. Siraj et al.

(2015)affirmed that student perceived the internet as a supplement for learning and thus contributes

to higher academic feat. Ogedebe (2012) agreed that majority of students obtain relevant information

such as academic materials from the internet. The suggests 6 that student use the internet to enhance

their study. Sahin et al.(2010)examined the use of internet resources by university student during their

course project study. They argued that the use of trustworthy internet resources is of vital importance

for academic study, especially in higher class courses which require an academic review of literature.

Internet use for educational purpose is found is by Kim (2011) to be the habit of adolescent academic

achievement. A similar study conducted by Ruth and Adedotun (2015) posited that the source and

access to information can influence the academic performance of secondary school student.
