Journal Title: Educational Research International - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
The study examined the extent of utilization of ICT tools in Business Education and its implication for effective instructional delivery. The study employed the descriptive survey design. Two research questions were raised and one null hypothesis was formulated to guide the study. A population and sample comprised all the one hundred and fifty (150) Lecturers of Business Education in the public tertiary institutions (Colleges of Education, Polytechnics and the University) in Delta State. Data were collected through a ten-item structured questionnaire for each research question with a five point Likert-type rating scale. The questionnaire was duly validated and reliability coefficient was established at 0.83 using Crombach Alpha test. The analysis of data collected was done using mean and standard deviation and analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used at 0.05 level of significance for testing the null hypothesis. The study found out that the extent of utilization of ICTs in teaching business education posed challenges for effective teaching/learning of business education. The finding also shows that Lecturers of business education of our education system are not fully receiving pedagogical and manipulative training in ICT which causes these challenges of poor instructional delivery using ICTs tool as instructional materials. Hence, the study recommends that In-service training should be organized on regular basis for lecturers in Business Education for effective utilization of the tools in instructional delivery.
