IMPLICATIONS OF EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES ON RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT IN TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS: A DEVELOPING COUNTRY PERSPECTIVE
ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study is to investigate the implications of emerging technologies on research development in tertiary institutions, with a focus on the developing country perspective. The study thoroughly evaluated three key constructs; transparent use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), availability of high-speed internet, and capacity building and skill development that act as catalysts for research development in tertiary institutions. A quantitative research technique involving a descriptive survey was adopted for the study. A questionnaire was designed as the measurement instrument and deployed to a sample of 376 respondents from the selected tertiary institutions. Copies of questionnaire were conveniently distributed to employees of these institutions to gather data for the study. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was used to validate the constructs in the measurement instrument. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed to estimate the structural relationships between emerging technology constructs and research development in tertiary institutions. The analysis was aided by the software, Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS), version 23. The results showed that the transparent use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the availability of high-speed internet, and capacity building and skill development have significant positive effects on research development in tertiary institutions. The study concluded that the adoption, integration, and ethical use of emerging technological tools are vital for enhancing research development in tertiary institutions in developing countries. Additionally, it is important for the management of tertiary institutions to invest in emerging technology infrastructure, such as high-speed internet, and in the capacity building and skill development of both academic and non-academic staff to further enhance research development within these institutions.
Keywords: Emerging Technologies, Research Development, Transparent use of AI, HighSpeed Internet, and Capacity Building and Skill Development.
