Relationship Between Teachers Factors And Usage Of Information Communication Technology In Teaching Business Education Courses

The research examined the relationship between teachers’ factors and the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in teaching business education courses at Nigerian universities. A descriptive survey design was utilized for the study, which targeted a population of 163 lecturers from 17 universities offering business education in Nigeria. Using a purposive sampling technique, 140 lecturers were selected as the study sample. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire with four rating scales, which were distributed and retrieved face-to-face by the researcher. Out of the distributed questionnaires, 127 were completed and returned, representing a 91% response rate. These responses were coded and analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), with mean scores calculated to address the research questions, employing an index score of at least 2.5 for agreement. Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) was used in SPSS to test six null hypotheses at a significance level of 0.05. The study found that the availability and accessibility of ICT tools significantly affect ICT usage in teaching business education courses among university lecturers in Nigeria. It was recommended that university management should commit to providing adequate ICT resources to ensure continuous access for lecturers, facilitating effective integration of ICT into their teaching and research activities.
