The Internet and Academic Learning in High Schools in Zinder

The use of the Internet is becoming an increasingly important part of everyday life in Niger. Considered as a source of information that modifies the links of access to knowledge, it is the means of communication and the tool most used by pupils in the town of Zinder. This research mobilizes secondary school disciplines. Our aim is to study the way students use the Internet, in order to determine the impact and influence of this tool on motivation and academic success. Our problematic requires us to verify whether the use of the Internet facilitates learning at school. To do this, we adopted a mixed methodology. The questionnaire survey and the semi-directive interview show that the use of this tool favors the learning of knowledge in the school environment. Like all new tools, the Internet has brought about a motivational change in students' teaching/learning in secondary school subjects. It is the best remedy for improving the quality, accessibility and efficiency of education.
