Abstract

Information and Communication Technology resources embrace those equipment or tools that can retrieve, store manipulate, transmit and disseminate information electronically. This study sought to determine the availability and utilization of information and communication technology resources. Where four research questions and two null hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The instrument for data collection was a researchers’ developed and peer-validated. Cronbach Alpha method was used to compute the internal consistency of the instrument, which had an overall reliability index of 0.76. five hundred and five copies of the questionnaire were administered and four hundred and seventy-nine copies were retrieved from the respondents, which yielded 94.85% return rate. The researchers used mean scores and standard deviation to answer research questions while t-test statistics was used to test the null hypotheses. It was found out by matching the available ICT resources in the Colleges of Education under study with the National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE) benchmark, that there should be conducive environment, provision of computers, internet facilities, television, multi-media, and computer laboratory among others. The availability of these facilities makes teaching and learning more interesting, interactive and effective. The findings of the study revealed among others that ICT facilities are available but not adequate for teaching and learning of Political Science Education in Public and private Colleges of Education in Enugu State.
