Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate teachers’ perception of the use of information and communication technology (ICT) devices in the implementation of the primary school curriculum in Nsukka Local Government Area (L.G.A.), Enugu State. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. The population comprised 505 teachers from 38 public primary schools in Nsukka L.G.A. A simple random sampling technique was used to select 20 schools, and a total of 120 teachers were sampled. A structured questionnaire titled Teachers’ Perception of the Use of ICT Devices in Implementation of the Primary School Curriculum (TPIIPSC) and a checklist were used for data collection. The instruments were validated by three experts, and the reliability was established using Cronbach Alpha, yielding a coefficient of 0.83. Data were collected through direct administration of the questionnaire and analyzed using percentage, mean, and standard deviation. A benchmark of 2.50 was used for decisionmaking. The findings revealed that only a few ICT devices, such as public address systems, mobile phones, computers, projectors, and microphones, were available in primary schools. The extent of utilization of these ICT devices was low due to teachers' lack of ICT knowledge, inadequate ICT facilities, poor internet access, and insufficient funding. Based on the findings, it was recommended that stakeholders in the education sector should ensure the provision of adequate ICT devices and support regular ICT training for teachers. This study contributes to knowledge by providing empirical evidence on the gap between ICT availability and its utilization in primary school curriculum implementation.
