Abstract

This study investigated the integration of information and communication technology (ICT) for Social Studies teaching in Upper Basic Schools in Edo State Nigeria. Descriptive survey design was used for the study. Four Objectives and four research questions guided the study. The population for the study was Social Studies teachers in Upper Basic Schools in Edo State. A sample size of 300 Social Studies teachers was purposively selected for the study, representing 48.39% of the population. A 32-item questionnaire was used as instrument, which was validated by two experts’ in the field of measurement and evaluation. Test retest method was used to determine the reliability of the instrument, 0.85 reliability coefficient index was obtained using Pearson Product Moment Correlation formula. Mean and standard deviation were used to analyse the research questions. The first finding was that ICT facilities are available for integration into teaching of Social Studies to a low extent. Secondary, ICT facilities are utilized for lesson delivery by Social Studies teachers on a low extent. Effort should be made by government to provide ICT facilities, monitor and organize workshops/seminars for Social Studies Teachers and address the challenges facing ICT facilities utilization in Edo State to facilitate its integration. These will go a long way to ensure effective teaching delivery of Social Studies in Upper Basic Schools in Edo State.Keywords: integration, information and communication technology, Social Studies
将信息和通信技术整合到江户州高级基础学校的社会学教学中
本研究调查了尼日利亚埃多州高年级基础学校社会研究教学中信息和通信技术(ICT)的整合。本研究采用描述性调查设计。四个目标和四个研究问题指导了研究。该研究的人群是江户州高级基础学校的社会研究教师。本研究的样本量为300名社会学教师,占总人数的48.39%。采用一份32项问卷作为工具,经2位测量与评价领域的专家验证。采用检验重测法确定仪器的信度,采用Pearson积矩相关公式得到0.85信度系数指标。采用均值和标准差对研究问题进行分析。第一个发现是信息和通信技术设施在社会研究教学中的整合程度较低。其次,社会学科教师利用信息通信技术设备进行授课的程度较低。政府应努力提供信息和通信技术设施,监测和组织社会研究教师讲习班/研讨会,并解决江户州信息和通信技术设施利用面临的挑战,以促进其一体化。这将大大有助于确保江户州高级基础学校的社会研究课程的有效教学。关键词:集成,信息通信技术,社会研究
