| Abstract | The purpose of this research was to identify the characteristics of ICT instructors that could affect students’ performance from both the students’ and the instructors’ viewpoints. This study was also carried out with the purpose of comparing students’ and instructors’ perspectives on students’ performance based on UTAUT framework. The study was carried out using a three-pronged methodology, namely, literature review, expert interviews and self-administered survey of 430 students and 55 ICT instructors from tertiary institutions in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. Validity analysis were conducted using IBM SPSS version 24 and two structural equation models were finally obtained using Amos version 24. This study finds UTAUT constructs including social influence, facilitating condition, and voluntariness of use to have direct and significant impact on students’ performance from the students’ and the instructors’ perspective. The result of the instructors’ perspective shows that ICT use behaviour of students have direct and significant impact on students’ performance, but the students’ result shows an insignificant direct impact of use behaviour on students’ performance. The result also shows that three additional variables, including ICT instructors’ characteristics, motivation and personal environment, directly affects students’ performance from the students’ perspective. But the results from the instructors’ perspective, shows that the aforementioned three factors do not directly and significantly affects students’ performance. However, from both the students’ and the instructors’ perspective, gender, age and experience have statistically significantly direct impact on performance expectancy. This research shows that the students and instructors have different views on variables that impact on students’ performance. |
