Abstract
The study investigated the availability and utilization of Information Communication Technology (ICT) facilities in teaching and learning of Economics in Nsukka Local Government Area of Enugu State. The total population of the study was 2,466 Economics Teachers and Students from all the 31 public secondary Schools in the study area. Multiple sampling techniques were adopted to select 262 students and teachers from 9 public secondary schools who participated in the study. The instruments used for data collection were checklist and a structured questionnaire which were validated by one specialist in measurement and evaluation, and two specialists from Social Science Education Department. The reliability of the instruments were ascertained using kuder-Richardson formula 20 for the checklist with reliability coefficient of 0.91 indexes while Cronbach Alpha for the questionnaire had reliability coefficient of 0.87index. Five research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. The two hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance using t-test statistical tool. Data collected were analysed using frequency, mean and standard deviation. A four point likert rating scale was adopted for data analysis on questionnaire while percentage was adopted for checklist. For the questionnaire, any score below 2.5 is interpreted as disagreed and any score from 2.5 and above was interpreted as agreed. While for the checklist, any item below 50% availability was interpreted as not available and any item that scored 50% and above was interpreted as being available. It was found that only microphone and television were available, as they had 55.6% each. Study also revealed that smart board was not available at all for teaching and learning. The extent of utilization of ICT in teaching and learning of Economics in urban area was higher than that of rural location, as urban had grand mean (x̄= 2.6) while rural area had grand mean (x̄ = 1.54). Therefore, government should make adequate provisions for ICT facilities including the smart board, and create an enabling environment to ensure their optimal utilization in different locations and by genders.
