Abstract
This study examines the relationship between Knowledge of Educational Psychology, acquisition of ICT Skills, and quality of teaching among basic education teachers in Calabar, Cross River State Nigeria. A sample of ninety two teachers (92) out of a population of two hundred and ninety three (293) were randomly selected from seven schools (four junior secondary schools and three primary schools). The schools were purposely selected for the study since the emphasis was not on comparing schools but on quality of teaching among teachers. A self-designed instrument titled: knowledge of Educational Psychology, ICT Skills and Quality of teaching questionnaire (KEPIQ) was used for data collection. The questionnaire were served to the teachers in their various schools and retrieved after their responses. Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (PPMCC) and multiple regressions were adopted for data analysis. The first two hypothesis were tested with Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient while the third was tested using Multiple Regressions. The findings of the research revealed that there is relationship between Knowledge of Educational Psychology, ICT Skills and quality of teaching among the teachers. The higher the knowledge of educational psychology and acquisition of ICT skills, the better the quality of teaching. It was therefore recommended among other things that regular workshops and intensive training be organized for teachers to get them acquainted with theories and practice of educational psychology as well as ICT skills.
