Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2021 in the subject Pedagogy - Media Pedagogy, , language: English, abstract: The purpose of this study is to ascertain the impact of information and communication technologies (ICT) integration on students’ academic performance in Nigerian Secondary Schools. As a guide to the study, answers will be sought to the following questions: What is the level of availability and usage of ICT facilities in secondary schools in Lagos State? What is attitude of respondents towards ICT application effect on academic performance? What is the relationship between the usage of ICT and academic performance? What are the constraints to the effective usage of ICT? Change is expected in the pattern of teaching and learning process from the conventional method to a more dynamic and flexible one, presumed learner-centered. The learner-centred approach empowers students; they are in control of their activities, materials and pace of learning, which places them in the centre of the learning process and enhances independent learning. However, despite the glaring relevance of ICT in education, coupled with the huge capital investment of both Federal and State governments through ICT driven project known as “schoolNET” and donations from Non-Governmental Organizations to Secondary schools in Nigeria, some teachers are still reluctant, ineffective and unproductive in using ICT facilities to improve students’ academic performance, especially in Business subjects. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have become inseparable entities in all aspects of human life. The use of ICT has fundamentally changed the practices and procedures of nearly all forms of endeavour within business, governance and civil service. In education, ICT has begun to have a presence but the impact has not been as extensive as in other fields of endeavour. The moving of the world to digital media and information has made the role of ICT in education to become more important and this importance will continue to grow and develop in the 21st century. Information and communication technology (ICT) is an indispensable part of the contemporary world. In fact, culture and society have to be adjusted to meet the challenges of the knowledge age. Undoubtedly ICT has impacted on the quality and quantity of teaching, learning and research in tertiary educational institutions in Nigeria.

Book excerpt: This research examines information communication technology (ICT) integration into school administration: A case study of secondary schools in Ekiti State, Nigeria. The research uses a cross-sectional design. Purposeful sampling was used to select 62 of 141 administrators in Ekiti South Senatorial District public secondary schools of Ekiti State, Nigeria. The instrument used to collect data for the study was a questionnaire while the data were prepared and analyzed using a statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS 22.0) for frequency counts and percentages. It was found that ICT resources were not adequately provided to the school administrators, and that the low usage of computers for their jobs was a result of lack of training in the use of computer and other ICT resources. It is concluded that the administrators of the studied schools in Ekiti South Senatorial District of Ekiti State, Nigeria have not really integrated ICT into their administrative jobs. It is recommended that the Ministry of Education, through the State government, should work with the federal government and policy makers to ensure that ICT resources are supplied to the school administrators. Finally, administrators will need to take part in more ICT training, workshops, and seminars to improve their comfort with ICT resources.

This book was released on 2018-02-15 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of computers and electronic resources has dominated human activities especially in the last two decades (Straker, 2001). Its use is complemented by a whole lot of other electronic devices, all of which are now collectively regarded as Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Information and Communication Technology (ICT) are information handling tools that are used to produce, store, and process, distribute and exchange information. These different tools are now able to work together and combine to form networked world-wide which reaches into every corner of the globe (UNDP Evaluation Office, 2001). It is an increasingly powerful tool for participating in global markets, promoting political accountability, improving the delivery of basic services and enhancing local development opportunities (UNDP, 2006). To Ogunsola (2005) ICT 'is an electronic based system of information transmission, reception, processing and retrieval, which has drastically changed the way we think, the way we live and the environment in which we live'. Information and communication technology has changed how people live, work or play (Berenfield, 1999).Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has not only witnessed a wide range of application in virtually all human endeavours, it has also actually transformed the world into a global village in such a manner that its contribution to human development over the years cannot be overemphasized. Despite the efforts, Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) integration is still marked with apathy on the part of science teachers and students, possibly due to unawareness, inaccessible and lack of basic ICT skills in using the ICT resources available for effective academic activities in schools. This study therefore examined the awareness, accessibility and usability on internet technology in promoting effective teaching and learning.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: E-learning has become the main stream among higher education institutions. Courses in various fields are offered online, students can enroll for a course through internet, lecturers and students are able to share online course materials which include notes, assignments and other multimedia contents. In universities, higher learning institutes as well, large or small, online teaching/learning systems are a key component of their education systems. For a number of the higher education institutions, a well-established online teaching/learning system is their lifeline for keeping their classes running. This paper intended to analyze the role of ICT integration into teaching and learning method through e-learning. The results showed that all 4 studied higher learning institutes did not establish an e-learning system. The proposed solution is to implement a blending teaching method while besides the existing face-to-face method an e-learning system is also deemed useful. The efficient implementation is the open source development software like moodle which is a free, secure and customizable platform and suitable to significantly reduce the cost of developing and supporting online classes while improving reliability and performance of the institution.

Nghaamua and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Namibian ICT in Education Policy and the TECH/NA! Implementation Plan have been in existence since 2006. Many studies have followed up on technology integration in various subjects at schools across the country since then. This study is focused on measuring the levels of integration in the Khomas Region and looks at the return of investment from the implementation of the Policy. This study explores the challenges still existing for teachers integrating technology into classroom practice and the strategies that are being employed. Theoretical frameworks supporting this study is Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the four levels of Kotrlik Pierson's model of technology integration (KPMTI). The theoretical framework focuses on the actual ICT classroom integration, perceived importance of ICT integration, teachers’ confidence, and challenges in ICT integration. This exploratory case study research design uses a semi-structured interview protocol. Due to the COVID19 pandemic and interruption in education, the researcher was unable to carry out class observation that was originally planned. This study is dependent entirely on the self-efficacy of teachers reporting of their practice. The results indicate that, despite a few innovative strategies of ICT integration, the majority of ICT integration initiatives in the classroom are still not optimised to a desirable redefinition or transformational level according to SAMR ICT integration level. Attitudinal issues, lack of support, affordability and lack of skills were identified as constraints that affect effective implementation of ICT. The Ministry of Education, Arts and Culture appears to place more financial focus on the training of staff, including the principals. Furthermore, results show the need for making stakeholders aware of the need to refocus on re-implementing ICT integration efforts, encourage teachers to take their own initiative to develop skills in ICT integration and improve access to ICT resources
