Availability, ICT devices, TeachingAbstract
New and emerging technologies challenge the traditional
process of teaching and learning and the way education is
managed. This study examined the survey and availability of
electronic media for teaching in colleges of education in Oyo
State, Nigeria. The research design adopt for this study was
the descriptive survey research design. The target
population for his study includes selected lecturers in
Colleges of Education, Oyo State. Simple random sampling
techniques were adopted to draw out the sample for the
study. A hundred lecturers out of the total population of 196
academic staff of Oyo State Colleges of Education
participated. The selection constituted lecturers from all
disciplines across the selected institution. The result
obtained from this study indicated that some Information
and Communication Technology (ICT) facilities were
available and adequate: some were available but not
adequate while others were not available at all. This implies
that inadequate resources could affect the lecturer’s lesson
delivery. It was however recommended that ICT facilities
should be made available in all institutions of learning to
improved teaching-learning processes.
