Abstract

The main purpose of the study was to ascertain the extent of utilization of innovative educational software by mathematics and computer science lecturers of tertiary institutions in Enugu state. Two research Questions were formulated to guide the study, while two null hypotheses were tested at p < 0.05. Descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The population for the study comprised 73 lecturers in ICT- related Departments in Enugu State public tertiary institutions. A researcher’s made structured questionnaire titled extent of utilization of Educational software Questionnaire (AUESQ) was used as the instrument for data collection. The instrument was face validated by three experts from the Department of Science and Computer Education; one expert in measurement and evaluation and the other two in computer Education all in Faculty of Education, Godfrey Okoye University. Reliability coefficient of 0.76 was obtained using Cronbach Alpha. The research questions were answered using mean and standard deviation. The hypotheses were tested with t-test and analysis at 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that the extent of utilization of Innovative educational software by mathematics and computer science lecturers in tertiary institutions in Enugu state was low. It was recommended among others that the management of tertiary institutions should organize regular workshop and conferences to equip mathematics and computer science lecturers with the relevant of ICT skills needed to compete with their contemporaries in developed countries of the world.
