Abstract

The study determined how remote learning we can use effectively in sustaining teaching fine and applied arts in colleges of education in Benue State, Kogi State, and Enugu State, Nigeria. We adopted a cross-sectional survey for the study. We used a sample size of 218 respondents for the study. We used a structured questionnaire for the study. We used frequency percentage and Chi-square analysis. We planned and tested four hypotheses. The finding of the study showed that the ICT devices are not available; respondents do not use the effective technique for teaching fine and applied arts in remote learning. The respondents found out that there are challenges concerning the use of technology in the teaching fine and applied arts, and respondents agree on the solutions in mitigating the adverse effect of COVID-19 lockdown on teaching fine and applied arts. We highlighted the educational implications of the findings and the recommendations. We also made some limitations of the study and suggestions for further studies.
