Abstract
This study assessed the assessment of Information Communication Technology (ICT) in teaching and learning of Electrical Electronic Technology in University of Benin, Edo State. Four research questions were raised to guide the study. The population for the study consists of all the 113 University of Benin students studying electrical and electronics technology in the University of Benin, Edo state in the year 2021, 2020/2021 session. The population included 84 males and 29 females. The total populations were
used for the study which comprises of 113 students studying electrical and electronics technology in University of Benin, Edo state, therefore no sampling technique was required. A survey research design was adopted for the study. The instrument for data collection was a self-designed questionnaire. The reliability of the instrument was determined using test-retest method and a reliability coefficients of 0.91 were obtained for the students questionnaires using Pearson Moment Correlation. Results showed that ICT tools/equipment such as computer/laptops, overhead projectors, interactive
whiteboards/smart-boards, internet facilities, audio/recording devices, auto cad, simulators/teaching software and digital video cameras/multimedia aids are unavailable in majority of the schools in the studied area. Furthermore, it was indicated that these ICT tools were inadequate even when available. More so, it was discovered that these ICT tools/equipment have low utilization. Challenges facing the utilization of ICT tools for teaching-learning were found out to include unavailability, workload inadequate time allotted, unconducive classroom environment, poor electricity supply and lack of up to- date software. The study recommended that government should endeavor to make ICT tools/equipment available in University of Benin as instruction delivery has gone beyond the traditional method, school authorities should consider alternate means of raising fund for the procurement of these tools and also, Electrical Electronic teachers should be
resourceful in relation to use and management of time allotted them for teaching using ICT tools.
