Availability And Utilization Of Information And Communication Technology (ICT) Facilities In The Management Of Colleges Of Education In South Eastern States, Nigeria
ABSTRACT
The
study investigated the availability and utilization of Information and
Communication Technology (ICT) facilities in the management of Colleges of
Education (COE) in South Eastern States, Nigeria. Five research questions were
posed for the study and five corresponding null hypotheses were tested at 0.05
level of significance. Descriptive survey design was employed. Population of
this study consisted of 6275 administrators which comprised 407 academic
administrators and 8501 non-academic administrators across 12 Colleges of
Education (Federal, State and Private). Sample of the study was 378 respondents
which comprised 15 academic administrators and 363 non-academic administrators
from a sample of 12 COE in the five states. Instrument for data collection was
researcher’s developed questionnaire titled ‘Availability and Utilization of
ICT facilities Questionnaire’ AUICTFMCEQ. The instrument was face validated by
three experts. Stability and internal consistency of the instrument was 0.78
and 0.73 respectively. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the
research questions, while t-test was used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05
level of significance. Findings from the analyses revealed that ICT were
available to a high extent, as the available ICT facilities are adequate and
utilized to a low extent. Also competencies for effective utilizations ICT were
possessed to a low extent by the administrators in the management of COEs.
Based on the findings it was recommended there should be adequate provisions of
provision of alternate power supply to complement the power supply so that
there will be effective utilization of ICT facilities in schools and there
should be periodic training of administrators of COEs on competencies required
for effective utilization of ICT facilities for the management of COEs through
capacity building workshop.
