Abstract
This study examined the experimental analysis of the effects of graphic organiser strategy and age on computer anxiety of distance learning students of University of Ibadan, Nigeria. Pretest-posttest, control group quasi-experimental design with a 2x2 factorial matrix was used in the study. Multi-stage sampling technique was used in sampling 114 participants from 2 faculties of distance learning centre. The respondents were measured with validated scale of 0.86 reliability coefficient and the data obtained was analyzed using t-test statistical analysis. Two (2) research hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The results showed that there was significant difference in the computer anxiety of distance learning students exposed to graphic organiser strategy and those in the control group (t= 41.36; p<0.05) and there was significant difference in the computer anxiety of old and young distance learning students (t= 28.53; p<0.05). In view of these findings, the study recommended that students should be encouraged and trained on the effective usage of graphic organiser strategy and that old students should be encouraged to improve on the usage of computer for academic development. This is because computers are being used majorly for academic tasks in distance learning centre.
