Lafia Journal of Education, 2020
The study assessed the ability of secondary school teachers to utilize ICT in the teaching and learning process in Nasarawa State. The study adopted a descriptive survey research approach. The proportionate stratified random sampling technique was used to obtain 160 respondents from public secondary schools in Lafia, Akwanga and Keffiareas of the State. The reliability coefficient of the instrument was determined using Cronbach Alpha reliability test, and a value of 0.84 obtained. The data collected were analyzed using inferential statistics. Three research questions guided the study. Theresults of the findingsrevealed that, ICT ability of secondary school teachers in Nasarawa State is very low. It is within the average percentage of 27.8% which falls within levels 0 and 1of the Personal Capability Maturity Model (PCMM). Level 0 means that, majority of the teachers do not know at all and do not care about the importance of ICT while Level 1 means that, some of the teachers have had one or two experiences, where information is an important component for achieving their desires and solving problems, and have involved information technology to look for it. The study also revealed that, there was a significant difference between the ICT ability of male and female teachers. The male teachers were discovered to be more open and enthusiastic towards new media than the female teachers. Also, based on age, the ICT ability of the teachers was inversely proportional to their age. The older the age of the teacher, the lower his ability inICT, and the younger the age of the teacher, the higher his ability in ICT. The study recommends that, Nasarawa State Government should regularly organize in-service ICT training for all secondary school teachers; the Government and all agencies responsible for teachers' recruitment should include ICT literacy skills as one of the cardinal requirements for employments; ICT equipment should be provided in all secondary schools in the state to facilitate ICT integration into the teaching and learning process; teachers who are older in ageand cannot cope with the dynamic nature of the 21 st century education should retire compulsorily; secondary school teachers in the state should strive to go global, collaborate, get smarter and learn new educational technologies so as to keep abreast with the 21 st century global education objectives and finally, there should proper sensitization for the female teachers on importance of emerging technologies in education. They should be encouraged to understand that, technology does not know gender and so, they should be open and positive towards new media.

Teacher Perception and Pupils Attitude to Use of ICT Resources in Ibadan North LGA of Oyo State, Nigeria..doc
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education is information carriers designed specially to fulfil objectives in teaching-learning situation. Teacher's perception of ICT resources in school environment plays a critical role in determining students' disposition to ICT use. Previous studies carried out largely focused on the use of ICT resources in teaching and learning, with a few addressing teachers involved and how they perceived the use of ICTs resources. In view of this, the study investigated teachers' perception and pupils' attitude to use of ICT resources in Ibadan North local government area. Survey research design was adopted. Simple random sampling technique was used to select 186 pupils and 27 teachers in 14 primary schools in Ibadan North LGA. Teachers' Perception Questionnaire (TPQ) (r=.65), Pupil's Attitude to ICT Use Questionnaire (PAICTUQ) (r=.58), Effect of ICT Use Questionnaire (EICTUQ) (r=.78) and Constraints to Effective Use of ICT Questionnaire (CEUICTQ)(r=.0.72), were used for data collection. Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics and simple linear regression at .05 level of significant. There is a significant relationship between teachers perception to ICT resources and pupils attitude to ICTs (R 2adj =.372, F (1,25) =16.371), and teachers perception to ICT resources (β=.629, t=-4.046), significantly predicted pupils attitude. Majority of the teachers (100%) agree that the period of teaching with ICT facilities is inadequate and it makes transferring of information to learners' easier. Non-exposure of teachers in the use of ICT resources is a constraint militating against ICT use. Teacher perception to ICTs has a significant influence on pupils' attitude to ICT use and period of teaching the subject is inadequate. It is recommended that teachers should improve on their awareness to ICT use and adequate attention be given to the period of teaching the subject in schools.

Teachers’ perceptions and Levels of Technology Use in Classrooms: The Case of Schools in the Sefwi-Wiaso Municipality.
As technology continues to advance into every aspect of our lives, some have pondered the effect it has on how students learn. The phrase “Digital Natives and Digital Immigrants” has emerged to describe the difference between young people who have spent their lives in a digital world and past generations who have incrementally adjusted to the proliferation of technology in society. Throughout the world, technologies are been integrated into the teaching-learning process. These technologies include but not limited to smart phones, personal digital assistants, tablets, iPods, computers, radios, television, network communication devices, satellite systems, gaming devices, hardware as well as other different services and applications. The use of these technologies has become a necessity for quality in teaching-learning. In this light, Ghana had made efforts to catch up with these global trends by supplying computer hardware & software resources to schools. The use of such technologies in schools has therefore become a very essential area that must be investigated. Under this work, thirty (30) public basic school teachers were sampled across fifteen (15) schools to respond to a survey questionnaire. Unstructured interviews were first used to gather preliminary information that aided the structuring of the survey. All thirty (30) participants responded to the survey in its entirety. It has been realized that teachers have a low self-efficacy perception on their capacity to use technology in the classroom. As high as 63% of participants accepted that they do not use computer daily for instructional purposes as much as other teaching resources such as books. Technologies frequently used in classrooms were found to be mobile phones and computers; mostly used to conduct practical demonstrations and reading activities. The problem of accessibility to hard & software resources remains a major barrier to the use of technologies in most schools. Participants agreed that investments in the provision of technological infrastructure in schools could encourage the use of technology among teachers and students. It can therefore be concluded that, much more need to be done to propel a technological catch up.
