Abstract

This study investigates the influence of programmes design in the digitalise new normal and learner’s academic achievements in Cameroon state universities. The problem of this study emanates from low quality of knowledge and skill acquired by university students in the context of digitalisation. This quantitative study employs the descriptive survey research design. The simple random sampling technique used collect a sample size 205 participants. Data was collected using questionnaire and interview guide. The Framework technique was used to analyse qualitative data and the spearman ranked correlation with the help of SPSS version 23 was used to test the research hypotheses. Findings revealed that programme design in the digitalise new normal significantly influence learner’s academic achievements: RH1: The correlation coefficient is r = 0.878, P₌0,000˂0,05; indicating that the degree of significance is high. RH2: The correlation coefficient is r = 0.780, P₌0,000˂0,05; indicating that the degree of significance is moderate. RH3: The correlation coefficient is r₌ 0.532, P₌0,000˂0,05; indicating that the degree of significance is high. RH4: The correlation coefficient is r₌ 0.867, P₌0,000˂0,05; indicating that the degree of significance is high. All the four specific hypotheses were confirmed and all null hypotheses rejected. We recommend that these universities in Cameroon and in the sub-Saharan Africa should redesign its programme to suite the digitalise new normal context, organise workshops to train staff on course content, teaching style, simulation and how to exploit the available digital space.
