Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Research (IJAR) - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 7
Abstract
The study investigated Computer Studies Teachers? Constraints in the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Senior Secondary Schools in Bayelsa West Senatorial District in Bayelsa State. The work was undertaken to find out if Computer Studies Teachers? constraints in the use of ICT in teaching in Senior Secondary Schools differ significantly with respect to gender, location, experience level and qualification. As a result, the researcher raised nine research questions and also formulated four null hypotheses to guide the study. The variables in the study were systematically reviewed from relevant literatures. An instrument was designed to collect data on the variables and the questionnaire was administered to 104 Computer Studies teachers obtained through simple random sampling of balloting and stratified random sampling. The instrument was validated in its content, face and constructs values. With construct validity a factor loadings matrix ranging from 0.632 to 0.910 in all items. A reliability coefficient of 0.827 was obtained with the use of Cronbach alpha technique. The data collected were analyzed and tested using the t-test statistical analysis at 0.05 level of significance. The findings showed that the four null hypotheses were rejected. This is an indication that Computer Studies teachers? constraints in the use of ICT in teaching differed significantly with respect to gender, location, experience level and qualification. From the findings, it was recommended that the National Policy on Education concerning ICT education should be reviewed in line with the New Curriculum for Senior Secondary Schools that made Computer Studies with the use of ICT compulsory and all Policy Statements regarding ICT should be implemented in all levels of the educational system.
