2021, MANAGEMENT OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES (ICT) FOR STUDENTS' ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IN EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY AND ADULT EDUCATION IN KOGI STATE COLLEGE
Abstract The study examined the management of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) for students’ academic performance in educational psychology and adult education in Kogi State College of Education, Ankpa. Three research questions guided the study. Descriptive survey and quasi experimental designs were adopted for the study. A total of 236 participants were employed for the study. Information and Communication Technology Check-list (ICTC), ICT Facility Management Questionnaire (ICTFMQ) and ICT Performance Scale (ICTPS) were used as instruments for data collection. The data were analyzed using descriptive analytic tools for research question 1 and mean and standard deviation statistics for research questions 2 and 3. From the analysis of data, it was revealed that (1) available ICT facilities are microphone/loud speaker, functional projector, functional scanner, film strips, photocopiers, tape and recorder and internet facilities are available at 70% for teaching of educational psychology and adult education in Kogi State College of Education. (2) The clustered mean of 1.77 shows that available ICT facilities are maintained to a very little extent by management. (3) Available ICT facilities significantly influence academic performance of students in educational psychology and adult education at mean ratings of 3.44. It was concluded that effective instructional delivery and quality actualization of educational objectives cannot be guaranteed in the absent and poor maintenance of ICT facilities in school. Some recommendations such as sufficient provision and proper maintenance of ICT facilities in schools by management for effective instructional delivery and quality actualization of educational objectives were also made.

Effect of ICT on Secondary School Students' Academic Performance in Christian Religious Studies in Oshimili North Local Government Area2017 •
The study examined the effect of Information Communication Technology on secondary school students' academic performance in Christian Religious Studies in Oshimili North Local Government Area. A quasi experimental pre-test, post-test control group design was adopted for the study using intact class. Two research questions were raised and two hypotheses tested at 0.05 level of significance. The population of the study comprised 1,483 students from 14 public secondary schools in Oshimili North Local Government Area of Delta State. The sample comprised 73, SS2 students selected from two out of the 14 public secondary schools in Oshimili North Local Government Area, using intact class. The instrument used for data collection was Christian Religious Studies Achievement Test (CRSAT) and the data were analyzed using mean for the research questions, and t-test for the hypotheses. The results showed that students who were taught with ICT had better academic performance on CRS and that the gender has no significant effect in the academic performance of students who were taught CRS with ICT instructional package. Based on the findings, it was recommended among other things that Christian Religious Studies' teachers should use ICT for teaching CRS in secondary schools. Introduction Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has become an important part of most educational organizations all over the world. There is no doubt that Information and Communication Technology (ICT) provides productive teaching and learning in order to increase learners' creative and intellectual resources especially in today's information society. Jones (2010) has it that technology travels with people. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) can be defined as a diverse set of electronic technologies and technological tools and resources used to communicate, create, store, disseminate and manage information. Ubaru (2005) sees it as the combination of technologies for collecting, storing, processing, communicating and delivering information. Information Communication Technology is regarded as an engine for growth and tool for empowerment with profound implications for education, change and socioeconomic development. Information Communication Technology such as videos, televisions, multimedia and computer software which combines text, sound, and colorful moving images can be used to provide challenging and authentic content that will engage the students in the learning process (Akude & Ajuzie, 2011). Researches done by Adamu (2007), Ibrahim (2009) and Ikwuka (2013) explain that instructional materials are things or devices which in themselves have educational value used to facilitate teaching and learning and culminate in the achievement of educational goals and objectives. This might explain why the National Policy on Education (NPE, 2013) stated that all schools should be properly equipped with instructional materials for teaching to be very effective.
The study explored the availability of information and communication technology (ICT) resources for instruction in selected colleges of education based on institutional ownership in Kano State. The study used a survey research design. A researcher-designed questionnaire and an adapted checklist from the National Commission for Colleges of Education, Minimum Standard (2012) for data collection. Mean and simple percentages were used to analyze the research questions. A total of 286 lecturers were proportionately sampled from Federal College of Education, Kano and Sa'adatu Rimi College of Education, Kumbotso, Kano, which were purposively selected for the study. A reliability value of 0.72 was obtained for the frequency of utilization instrument using Cronbach Alpha. The findings revealed that the two Colleges of Education have almost all of the ICT resources required by National Commission of Colleges of Education (NCCE) in Nigeria. The findings also revealed that lecturers' frequency of use of ICT resources for instruction was not fully encouraged. The study concluded that Colleges of Education in Kano state have basic ICT resources as required by NCCE. The study therefore recommended, among others, that government and school management should provide an enabling environment, such as provision of infrastructure facilities, internet connectivity, and stable power supply, among others.
This paper focused on the impact of information and communications technology (ICTs) on students' academic performance. Five secondary schools in Enugu were selected for the study. Data on students' familiarity and attitude towards ICTs, and information on the possible relationship between students' use of ICTs and study habits were collected through questionnaire and interview methods. The results of the data analysis revealed: that students have a positive attitude towards ICTs. As such they use them to facilitate learning; that students constantly change their study habits based on the type of ICT they use to ease studies; that ICTs can and will empower teachers and learners, transforming teaching and learning processes from being highly teacher-dominated to student-centered, and that this transformation will result in increased learning gains for students. The result shows that male students use the internet generally more than the female students. It was recommended that ICTs facilities and training be made available to students. Students should be encouraged to use ICTs with a better allocation of time between the various uses.

Impact of ICT facility on Student's Academic Performance in Jimma University, EthiopiaThis paper investigated the use of information communication and technology (ICT) for effective management of secondary schools in Oyo State, Nigeria. The study was a descriptive survey. The study population comprised of a sample of 160 secondary schools in the State. Out of the 1,278 teachers in the schools, 812 teachers made up of 160 principals and 652 teachers were selected for the study. The method of selection was also through the stratified random sampling technique. The instrument used to collect data for the study was a questionnaire while the data collected were analyzed using frequency counts, percentages and Pearson Product Moment Correlation analysis. It was found that the level of provision of ICT equipment to secondary schools in the State was low. The level of principals' management of schools was also low. The intermittent disruption of electricity and inadequate funding were found as major problem inhibiting the usage of ICT equipment for the management of schools in the State. It was concluded that the State government was not fully ready to inculcate (ICT) for the effective management of secondary schools in the State. It was recommended that the State government could supply the necessary ICT equipment to all secondary schools in the State. Government may also improve the training of principals, teachers and computer personnel in the use of computers and other ICT equipment through seminar, workshop and in-service training.
