Abstract

The study examined Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) and its role in fostering instructional delivery of Business Education courses in Federal College of Education (Technical) Akoka, Lagos. A quantitative survey research design was employed for this study. A simple random sampling technique was used to select 200 students for the study from a target population of 415 Business Education students. The data collected from the respondents were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as Mean, Standard Deviation and Inferential statistic such as Pearson Product Moment Correlation. The result showed that not all variables have a significant impact in explaining ICT as an integral part of teaching and learning business education. The result also showed that there is no significant relationship exists between ICT adoption and effective teaching and learning of business education courses. The result further showed that there is no significant relationship between Lecturer's exposure to ICT and quality of instructional delivery in business education. ICT adoption, lecturers' exposure to ICT and ICT utilization do not contribute significantly to the teaching and learning business education courses. The study therefore recommended, among others, that the utilization of ICT for teaching and learning of business education courses should be monitored and assessed regularly to meet a variety of educational objectives.
