Abstract |
This study was carried out to examine the influence of innovation on student reading culture in Rivers State College of Health Science and Management Technology, (RIVCOHSMAT), Port Harcourt. The research design used in this study was a descriptive survey design. The target population of this study was 130 students. A non-probability sampling method was used as the sampling technique and descriptive survey was used as design. Data was collected by the use of questionnaire and was self-administered to the respondents. The sample size of one hundred and four (104) respondents was drawn from the study through random sampling to determine the sample size. The findings state that Innovations that Promote Reading Culture among students are GSM phoned and laptop computers with internet facility. Conclusion was drawn that erratic power supply poses problem with the use of ICTs because important information might be lost without warning, students do not get exactly what they need online because some important information materials will need subscriptions before one can have access to them. The recommendation was made that Lecturers should always give students online assignments that will enable them to use ICTs for academic purposes; these will ensure that the reading culture of students is enhanced through the use of innovation like ICTs for reading purposes.
