Abstract
Student-teachers' readiness and attitude towards utilization of information and communication technology in studying business education in colleges of education in Delta State were investigated in this study. A descriptive survey research design was employed in the study. The population for the study entailed 1, 318 NCE business education student-teachers from two out of the four colleges of education in Delta State. The sample size of this study constituted 659 NCE business education student-teachers from two colleges of education in Delta State, which was selected at 50% using the proportionate stratified random sampling. Mean scores and standard deviation were used to analyze data in this study and all hypotheses were tested on an alpha level (α) of 0.05 significance using a t-test. The findings revealed that student-teachers showcased strong readiness and positive attitudes towards utilization of the information and communication technology in studying business education in COEs in Delta State. However, the findings revealed that the student-teachers did not possess the requisite skills in different aspects of computer packages for utilization of the information and communication technology in studying business education in COEs in Delta State. From these findings, recommendations were proffered, and among them included that: the various institutional leadership in the colleges of education such as the Provosts, Deans, and Head of Departments (HODs), should support students' readiness and preparedness for the use of ICT in studying business education at the colleges of education. This can be achieved through ICT facility provisions, adequate funding, infrastructural development, and private sector support and encouragement.
