Effects of Information Capitalism and Globalization on Teaching and Learning in a Developed and in a Developing Country: A Cross-Cultural Study of Robert Morris University in the United States and University of Lagos in Nigeria
Abstract
Education is undergoing constant changes under the effects of globalization and information generation, processing, and transmission, which is termed “informational capitalism.” The aims of this chapter are to explore how digital technologies have transformed the productive forces of capitalism and have enabled a globalized economy. The research design adopted for this study is the descriptive survey. The population for the study consists of students and faculty from Robert Morris University in Pennsylvania and students and lecturers from the University of Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria. The data collected are compared. The findings show that perceptions vary in the magnitude with which participants responded to the use of Web 2.0 for teaching and learning. Based on the responses from all participants, both students and faculty, cultural inclination has no significant impact on their use of Web 2.0 for learning. However, the majority of the participants from the University of Lagos, both students and lecturers, believe that adoption of Web 2.0 supports cultural promotion.
