Abstract

“This  study  ascertained  students’  opinions  on  whether  integration  of  game-based  instruction  into teaching/learning  processes  can  serve  any  significance  towards  21st  century  education  for self-reliant  efforts in Nigerian universities. A descriptive survey method was  utilized for the study.  The population was made up  of all Educational Technology students  of the  Department  of  Curriculum/Teaching in  the Faculty of  Education  in the University of Calabar. A convenient sampling frame was applied to draw 76 respondents for the study. A  15-item questionnaire  tagged  “Learners’  Perceptions  of  Integrating  Game-Based  Instruction  and  Enhancement  of  21st Century Education for Self-Reliant Efforts Questionnaire” (LPIGIECESREQ) was utilized to collect data. Cronbach Alpha  was used  to estimate  the  reliability of  the instrument. Data  analysis was  achieved  using  frequencies and percentages. The finding revealed that students had  favourable perceptions concerning integration of game-based instruction as being significant towards enhancing 21st century education for self-reliant efforts. Recommendations included that; lecturers should see the need to integrate more game-based instructional strategies into their teaching-learning processes in class.”
