Towards a Framework for ICTs Integration in Teacher Education in IndiaPremier Publishers
Teachers can only effectively integrate technology in their instruction if they are themselves knowledgeable about the technology. In India, several researches have pointed out challenges hindering effective integration of ICTs in teacher education programme that raise the questions: What is missing in the teacher education and training curriculum? Is there skill training and maintenance for teachers? Do the teacher training institutions have the necessary infrastructure for ICT integration? This paper reports on the findings of a study that attempted to respond to these questions and suggests a possible framework for the successful implementation of teacher training programmes that make advantageous use of appropriate ICTs. It suggests that seven fundamental principles of good practice should be addressed for such programmes to be effective: a shift from an emphasis on ‘education for ICT’ to the use of ‘ICT for education’; an integration of ICT practice within the whole curriculum; a need for integration between pre-service and in-service teacher training; a need for the development of relevant and locally produced content; a need for appropriate educational partnerships; accepting a practice driven approach; and an emphasis on the development of sustainable costing models. Build on modern notions of teaching-learning activities, the paper concludes with a proposed course of action to leverage the real benefits of ICTs for teacher education in India.

GENDER SENSITIZATION TOWARDS FUTURE GADGETS IN EDUCATIONorajjournal
Tomorrow’s future is strictly based on today’s students. Students are considered as a preliminary basic
building block for the construction of huge society. Thus, the student’s must be expected to develop good
moral skills not only for their basic necessities or requirements but to groom themselves as an essential
part of country’s economic growth and technological advancements. The task of teacher here plays an
important role nomatter whether s/he is a mentor, guider, philosopher, educator or an expert, whose
responsibility is not just to inculcate appropriate skills in the minds of students but inside and outside the
classroom activities also. The expected future scenario is quite different from the present traditional
classroom situation. The classroom does not mean confined only to the four walls of a room, but it should
inculcate the use of latest tools, devices and gadgets in modern classroom teaching practices. The
paradigm shift has been taken place for the transmission of learning to reshape the classroom for global
perspectives in order to fulfill the visions of 2020. The paper has the objective to find out the opinion of
students towards utilizing future gadgets that can be used for educational purposes. The findings show that
a vast majority of students have positively opined towards utilizing the future gadgets in classroom
practices. This study will highlight the student’s interest towards global competition in terms of their own
standpoint in the world.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Abstract
Teacher Education is very vital and essential for effective, effective, and functional education which
needs to be improved Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are globally assumed
it enhance teaching and learning processes. It is a survey research design conducted in Dutse,
Jigawa State of Nigeria, questionnaire and interview schedules were used for data collection, and
the data collected was analyzed using simple percentages and mean. The population of the study
was comprised of six hundred and seventy-one (671) teachers in the thirty-seven (37) Government
Junior Secondary Schools in Dutse Local Government Area of Jigawa State. Based on the
proportional sampling technique, one hundred and eleven (111) teachers were selected from the
thirty-seven (37) schools in the State that is three (3) teachers were randomly selected from the
37 Junior Secondary Schools to constitute the sample for the study. The study has five objectives
translated into five research questions and five hypotheses. The hypotheses were tested at 95%
degree of freedom and 0.05 level of significance, all the stated alternate hypotheses were
accepted based on the critical values being greater than the calculated value. It was concluded
that ICT has an association with teacher education in Dutse Jigawa State, it was recommended
that government and policymakers should invest more in terms of integrating ICT into Teacher
Education to sustain the benefits of ICT to teacher education.
Keywords: Education, Teacher, Teacher Education, Teaching, Information and Communication
Technologies (ICTs).
Introduction
Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are defined as a diverse set of
technological tools and resources used to transmit, store, create, share, or exchange
information. These technological tools and resources include computers, the Internet
(websites, blogs, and emails), live broadcasting technologies (radio, television, and
webcasting), recorded broadcasting technologies (podcasting, audio, and video players,
and storage devices), and telephony (fixed or mobile, satellite, Visio/videoconferencing,
etc.) (UNESCO, 2017).
The Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in teacher education is a key
issue, especially in preparation for inspiring teachers. ICT is at the first peak priority for

125 Vol. 14, No. 2 2024 African Journal of Humanities & Contemporary Education Research
www.afropolitanjournals.com
those who prepare educators for effective teaching and lesson delivery. Developed
countries like Germany, the United States of America (USA), the United Kingdom (UK),
Japan, Turkey, and many other countries have recognized the need for ICT for teacher
education and its roles in future teaching and learning processes, that is why they are
developing strategies and models to integrate ICT into holistic education and teacher
education systems (Khan & Shah 2014).
Teachers must structure their role by organizing the way students acquire cognitive
competencies and manage to apply them in different situations (UNESCO, 2018).
Classroom teaching will require new spaces to add to current knowledge with technological
media by both students and teachers. The emergence of ICTs easily fits into this process.
Teaching is becoming one of the most challenging professions in our society where
knowledge is expanding rapidly and much of it is available to teachers as well as students at
the same time. Modern developments of innovative technologies have provided new
possibilities to teaching professions, but at the same time have placed more demands on
teachers and students to use these new technologies in the teaching and learning process
(Okemakinde, Adewuji & Alabi, 2013).
ICTto beusedto meet theeducationalobjectivesofteaching andlearning, andthe teachers
and teacher educators must be engaged and wired, as the members of same community
with the provision ofa role modelofgoodICTpractices,learn to share andbuildknowledge,
understand the implication of the ICT and discuss its impact on students and teacher
satisfaction, too, as long as teachers are trained well, computers can create a better
teaching and learning atmosphere at the institutions (Naik & Raman, 2015).
Statement of the Problem
Teacher Education remains central to any academic achievement, ICTs provide a window
of opportunity for educational institutions and other organizations to harness and use
technology to complement and support the teaching and learning process. However,
despite the enormous advocacy of ICT-aided teaching and learning, the integration of ICT
in education still faces the challenge of how to transform the teacher education learning
process to provide students with the skills to function effectively in this dynamic,
information-rich, and continuously changing environment. The cause of concern is that
unless this problem is addressed, investment in the development of ICT in education is
going to be put to waste and improvement in the quality of teaching and learning is going
to be sluggish. This may make the Education system fail to achieve its goal and to produce
teachers who are ready for the world of work which is increasingly reliant on aided
generation and dissemination of knowledge. Given this discrepancy, there is a need to
examine the effects of ICTs in the development of JSS teachers in Dutse, Jigawa State,
Nigeria.

Education: is the process of facilitating learning or the acquisition of knowledge, skills,
values, beliefs, and habits. Quality education specifically entails issues such as appropriate
skills, development, gender parity, provision of relevant school infrastructure, equipment,
educational materials and resources, scholarships, or teaching force (UNESCO, 2017).
Education is a systematic process through which a child or an adult acquires knowledge,
experience, skill, and sound attitude that his society requires (World Bank, 2014). It makes
an individual civilized, refined, cultured, and educated. Its goal is to make an individual
perfect. Education is one of the most important drivers for ending poverty and boosting
shared prosperity.
Adeyinka, (2020) defined education as: “the process of transmitting the culture of a society
from one generation to the other, the process by which the adult members of a society
bring up the younger ones”. The above definitions imply that education is a gradual
development of the body and mind from infancy to adulthood. Related to Bloom’s
taxonomy, it implies a progressive development of the cognitive, affective, and
psychomotor domains (or areas) of knowledge. It is, indeed, a three-stage process:
• First a generation inherits the culture of the society from the older generation.
• Second, they change that culture, for better or for worse – or, we could say, they
modify the culture they inherited and adapt it to their situation: the political, social,
and economic situations of their time.
• Third, they pass on the modified culture to the generation following them.
Teacher: A teacher is a person who instructs, guides, mentors, and facilitates instruction,
knowledge, skills, and competence through the process of teaching and learning (Aliyu,
2022). A teacher is responsible for transmitting knowledge to the learner in the classroom
environment or any suitable setting. Teachers remain instructional leaders and there is
always a need for human interaction and motivation (Long & Long, 2019).
According to Awatefe, & Umudi, (2020), ICT impacts on teachers as follows: The balanced
roles they play with a perceived risk of reduced influence, Teachers are provided great
information access that leads to increased interest in teaching and experimentation;
creates more avenues for collaboration and communication with other teachers,
administrators, and parents, and provides more engagement time for learners that leads to
greater productivity.
Teacher Education: Teacher education refers to the professional education of teachers
towards the attainment of attitudes, skills, and knowledge considered desirable to make
them efficient and effective in their work by the needs of society at any point in time. It
includes training/education occurring before the commencement of service (pre-service)
and education/training during service (in-service or on-the-job). Teacher education should
constitute a conspicuous element in the totality of organized education, both formal and
non-formal sub-systems (Awatefe, & Umudi, 2020).
It is very relevant that the Federal Republic of Nigeria realizes that no education system can
rise above the quality of its teachers. Teacher education shall continue to be given major

emphasis in all educational planning and development. This is aptly articulated in Nigeria's
National Policy of Education of 2004 when the goals of teacher education were stated as
follows:
i. To produce highly motivated, conscientious, and efficient classroom teachers for
all levels of our education system.
ii. To encourage further the spirit of inquiry and creativity in teachers.
iii. To help teachers to fit into the social life of the community, and society at large and
to enhance their commitment to national goals.
iv. To provide teacherswith the intellectual and professional background adequate for
their assignment and to make them adaptable to any changing situation not only
in the life of their country, but in the wider world, and
v. To enhance teachers’ commitment to the teaching profession.
Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs): ICT is a term with different
meanings to different scholars. Ratheeswari, (2018) sees ICT as a term that encompasses
several activities involving the acquisition, storage, processing, and dissemination of
information with the appropriate software and hardware-designed facilities for that
purpose. ICTs are a generic term referring to technologies that are used for collecting,
storing, editing, and passing on (communicating) information in various forms (UNESCO,
2018).
According to Kaur 2016, “ICT generally relates to those technologies that are used for
accessing, gathering, manipulating, and presenting or communicating information” It
means ICT is applied to the creation, storage, selection, transformation, and distribution of
information of many kinds. ICT is a comprehensive term that includes any communication
device or application such as radio, television, cellular phones, computer and network,
hardware and software of ICT, satellite systems as well as the various services and
applications associated with them, such as videoconferencing and distance learning.
ICT is an umbrella term that includes any communication device or application,
encompassing radio, television, cellular phones, computer and network hardware and
software, satellite systems, and so on, as well as the various services and applications
associated with them, such as video conferencing and distance learning (Yusuf and Afolabi,
2014). Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is the scientific, technological,
and engineering discipline and management techniques used in information handling and
processing, their application; computers and their interaction with men and machines and
associated social, economic, and cultural matters” (UNESCO, 2018).
Teacher education institutions have chosen different strategies to introduce ICT into their
pre-service training, for example, increasing access to ICT, offering ICT courses, integrating
ICTinto allcourses,introducing multimedia approachessuch ase-portfolios,staffin-service
training, collaboration through developing communities of practice, modeling strategies
such as showing good examples, and so forth. Usually, a combination of strategies is used
(Kaur, 2016).

Chandra and Patker (2017) have described the development of ICT in teacher education as
emerging in three waves. The use of ICT has gone from the storage and transfer of
knowledge to the delivery of skills needed in a changing society, and finally to a tool for
lifelong learning. The focus has moved from mainly learning about ICT to learning through
ICT, a shift that corresponds with the policy intentions.
Information and communication technology (ICT) is one of the most important driving
forces promoting teaching and learning. It has influenced all aspects of Teacher Education.
It provides the capacity to store, retrieve, and process e-content both fast as well as
accurately. ICT is the scientific and technological discipline, which deals with the collection,
storage, and dissemination of information to the individual or group. ICT involves primarily
the storage and communication of information. The world is converted into a minute global
capsule and anyone desirous of information would find it only a click. ICT is a technology
that aids in the storage of data, retrieval as and when required, telecommunication, and
browsing for information, and saves time, effort, paper, money, and resources. ICT
represents one of the current applications of technology in Teacher Education.
However, studies have revealed that teacher education programs have been slow to adopt
the pedagogical use of ICT. Despite the efforts made to encourage the use of ICT in teacher
education, with few exceptions, student teachers seem generally disinclined to use ICT for
their coursework (Afe, et al, 2014).
The application of ICT is mainly based on the teaching-learning process. The application of
ICT provides a vast array of powerful tools that may help in transforming the present
isolated, teacher-centered, and text-bound classroom, UNESCO in its World Education
Report “Teachers and Teaching in a Changing World” described the radical implications of
ICT in the conventional teaching-learning process. In the present situation, ICT has become
an important integral part of the curriculum of Teacher Education. The following essential
conditions must be met for the effective use of ICT in the teaching-learning process.
Students and teachers must have sufficient access “to digital technologies and the Internet
in their classrooms, schools, and Teacher Education institutes; High quality, meaningful,
and culturally responsive digital content must be available for teachers and learners.
Teachers must have the knowledge and skills to use the new digital tools and resources to
help all students achieve high academic standards. The use of ICT can make substantial
changes in education and training mainly in two ways.
Benefits of ICTs to Teachers and Teacher Education
ICTs are now set to become instrumental in helping expand access to teacher education,
strengthen the relevance of teacher education to the increasingly digital workplace, and
raise teacher educational quality, helping make teaching and learning into an engaging,
active process connected to real life. Naik P.K. and C.V. Raman, (2015) said ICT has a great
role in the context ofteacher educationwhich includes:envisagesexcitement in the student
teacher’s eyes, ears, and more importantly the head, fulfills the needs of student teachers
by providing items and packages of higher standards and interest, transforming the

definition of literacy, learning, and knowledge; a definition that increasingly includes
multimedia digitized literacy. More so, multimedia provides a kind of control over the
learning environment to the pupil teachers, and they experience learning from their
failures, ICT facilitates the student teachers to have control over lessons, pace sequence,
content, and feedback, which in turn enhances the efficiency of learning. Unlike books, it is
interactive in nature and creates motivation and interest among pupil teachers in turn
meeting the individual unique needs effectively and efficiently, which develops the ability
to self-learn and interact individually.
ICT-driven distance education programs where the teachers are given new opportunities
for the acquisition of new knowledge within their walls.
Thus, ICT is a powerful new development with an ambitious role in teacher education,
Digital and Internet-based multimedia transforms the present trend in the field of
education as follows:
to enhances the initial preparation by giving good teaching and training materials, use of
simulators, recording, and feedback in teaching, teachers can access colleagues, schools,
institutions, universities, expertise, and rich resources in cyberspace, ICT enables
interaction with students over a physical distance, ICT facilitates the sharing of ideas, and
experiences as well as collaborating on projects, and exchange of materials through virtual
communities, and it helps in the effectiveness of the classroom management.
Educational software and intelligent tutoring systems can dramatically reduce the cost of
teacher training, and provides lifelong professional development by providing courses in a
virtual situation, training on demand, orientation, and refresher courses through
videoconferencing and online. It also helps in the effective use of ICT software and
hardware for teaching–learning process. It helps in improving Teaching skills, and
innovative teaching and also helps in improving professional Development and Educational
management as well as enhances the Active Learning of teacher Trainees (Cantoni, &
Danowski, 2015).
Aswe know nowadaysstudents alwayshave competitive minds.So, the teacher must know
the subject; this can be achieved easily with the aid of ICT, lesson preparation, lesson
delivery, and learners’ and lesson evaluation. To introduce ICT in pre-service teacher
education different methods and strategies are applied. Different tools are used such as
word processing, Database, Spreadsheet, etc. Various technology-based plans are used to
help the teachers in their practice teaching (Cantoni, & Danowski, 2015).
ICT prepares teachers for the use of their skills in real classroom situations and prepares
students for their future occupations and social life; ICT is used as an „assisting tool‟ for
examplewhile making assignments,communicating,collecting data& documentation,and
conducting research. Typically, ICT is used independently from the subject matter and as a
medium for teaching and learning. It is a tool for teaching and learning itself, the medium
throughwhichteacherscanteachandlearnerscanlearn.Itappearsinmanydifferentforms,
such as drill and practice exercises, simulations, and educational networks, and is a popular
tool for organization and management (Peretomode & Bello, 2018).

According to Baishakhi and Kammal (2016), ICT is very important for pre-service teacher
education programsin the21st century.Without proper knowledge ofICT,a teacher cannot
perform in his or her classroom. Also, Ghavifekr and Rosdy (2015) affirmed that the
integration of ICT will assist teachers with the global requirement to replace traditional
teaching methods with technology-based teaching and learning tools and facilities. Thus,
ICT provides complementary support for both teachers and students that involves effective
learning with the assistance of computers to serve the purpose of learning aids.
Effects of Information Communication Technology
• Information Technology enables greater imaginative understanding through
increased access to information and new ways of accessing and communicating
information.
• It gives the individual the power to take risks and make mistakes that are costly in
terms of time/material.
• It provides new forms and structures for representing knowledge and individuals’
relationship with it.
• It increases the opportunity for interrelation and application of data.
• It provides the opportunity to develop clear logical thinking, sequential
understanding, and study skills.
• It changes the nature of composition and authorship because the forms of
composition are more numerous than they have been and the facility to combine
original and second-hand material and integrate different media.
• It enables the recording process to take place while it is being used.
• It enhances the learner’s capacity to reflect upon and the teachers’ opportunity to
intervene in the learning (Sharma, 2019).
Matthew et al identified problems of teacher education in Nigeria that have witnessed
tremendous challenges resulting from socio-economic, political, and technological
advancements in Nigeria's depressed economy. The quality of teacher education is very
much in doubt. Teacher education has not been innovative concerning instructional
methods. Obsolete textbooks and teaching methods are still very much in vogue. The
curriculum practices are theory-oriented rather than actual practice in the world of work. In
addition, the quality of the programs is also largely determined by those who teach the
teachers. It is a matter of regret and lamentation that most teacher educators cannot be
described as professional teachers since they possess degrees such as B.A. (Hons), B.Sc.
(Hons), etc. in a single subject discipline without educational background. The implication
of this for teacher education is a decline in academic standards.
In Nigeria, teacher education has no well-defined system for assessing its quality and
evaluating its outcomes. Okolo, (2013) posits that the sole purpose of setting up the NCCE
and by extension other tertiary education regulatory agencies (NUC and NBTE) which have
supervisory functions over teacher education programs in their respective institutions is to
institutionalize quality assurance and evaluation. For whatever reason, these agencies have
9. AJHCER
Vol. 14, No. 2 2024 African Journal of Humanities & Contemporary Education Research 132

solely utilized the accreditation approach rather than the more dynamic approaches of
holistic stakeholder evaluation and peer-review mechanisms. For teacher education, the
later approaches ensure more of the institutionalization of quality assurance andevaluation
for both pre-service and in-service teacher education programmes. Indeed, experience in
Nigeria only shows that the accreditation approach to quality assurance in teacher
education only fosters make-shift quality make-ups in institutions with no follow-up
measures of outputs and products of programs accredited.
Teaching practice is a vital component of teacher education program. Unfortunately, little
attention is devoted to the effective organization of teaching practice in our teacher
colleges. There is indeed a wide variation in the amount of time that students spend on
teaching practice. Some institutions organize teaching practice for a whole term, some in
six weeks and some in a whole year. These consequential differences affect the standard
and invariably quality of teacher education in Nigeria. Moreover, teaching practice
supervision is susceptible to numerous biasing factors. In the first place, some teaching
practice assessment instruments are subjective and interpreted in various ways depending
on the supervisor’s orientation, training, and disposition.
In-Service Education: Whatever administrative arrangements or curricular proposals are
made, change in the educational system ultimately depends on teachers. As a matter of
policy, this requires the handwork of well-trained and dedicated teachers in the Nigerian
school system who are agents of civilization and teachers of the nation. Therefore,
improving the quality of teachers and establishing innovations in education are the
rationale behind in-service education to the fast development of Nigeria's economy.
System of Institution Accreditation: The system of accreditation of teacher education
programs in Nigeria at the various institutions and faculties leaves much to be desired. They
are in the hands of diverse bodies that are crisis-ridden and bedevilled by administrative
bottlenecks.It issad to note our present systemofaccreditation offacultiesandinstitutions
for the running of teacher education programs is haphazard and unsatisfactory. There are
too many uncoordinated and uncooperative agencies and authorities involved such as
University Senates, the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), the National
Universities Commission (NUC), Federal and State Ministries of Education through such
bodies as the Joint Consultative Committee on Education (JCC) the National Council for
Education Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE) and the Teachers Registration
Council (TRC) that maintains a national register and code of conduct for teachers.
Poor Funding: Teacher education is bedevilled by poor funding from all levels of
government, this has resulted in the inadequate provision of teaching and learning
materials, obsolete textbooks, dilapidated school buildings, overcrowded classes, and ill-
equipped classrooms lacking in sophisticated Information and Communication Technology
(ICT) systems. It is sad to note that the Nigerian government devotes less than 26% of its
national budget to education which is far below the standard prescribed by UNESCO. As a
result, the quality of products from this system is in doubt.

Ani, Onyia and Iketaku. (2013) assessed teacher education in Nigeria today and recognized
that it is the foundation of the nation’s educational system, which contributes significantly
to the development of other sectors in the nation’s economy. The COVID–19 pandemic
outbreaks in Nigeria in the last twelve months have adversely affected teacher education
programs in Nigeria leading to the suspension of academic and research activities in the
institutions because of nationwide lockdown for seven months. This study specifically
focuses on how Nigeria aims to achieve a buoyant and efficient economy and accelerated
transformation through the production of high-quality and well-motivated teachers for all
levels of education by integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT),
into teacher education programs. The study examined the impact of the COVID-19
Pandemic on teacher education programs in Nigeria and justified the inevitable need for
integrating ICT into teacher programmes. It also identified the challenges of ICT utilization
in teacher education programmes in Nigeria. It was recommended among others that the
stakeholders must endeavour to provide the teacher education institutions with modern
ICT tools and facilities for effective teaching, learning, conducting research and
dissemination of information in the institutions, to achieve the lofty goals of teacher
education in Nigeria.
Oboh, & Ufuom (2014), The impact of information communication technology (ICT) on
Nigeria's education system was the crux of the matter for this paper. Information
technology is the use of electronic equipment to process, store, and disseminate
information to, an overwide audience. It also refers to technologies used in collecting,
storing, editing, and passing on information in various forms. The impact of ICT on Nigeria's
education system includes supporting learning and providing learners with technological
advancement, helping teachers to assess information, assisting in their skills development,
and providing more engagement for greater productivity, etc. Recommendations include
the connection of public and private schools to the national grid, the supply of
uninterrupted and affordable power supply, government formulation of nationalICT policy,
training and retraining of ICT staff and learners the provision of ICT facilities in tertiary
institutions and making ICT learning compulsory from primary to tertiary school levels.
Chris, 2016 studied the impact of information and communication technology (ICT) on
teaching and learning in Nigerian tertiary institutions. This study investigated the
availability and utilization of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) facilities by
Teacher Educators for effective teaching and learning in Nigerian Universities, using
descriptive survey research design. The research findings indicated that ICT has a great
impact on teaching and learning in tertiary institutions in Nigeria. Also, the introduction of
ICT makes learning so interesting for the students. The findings also revealed that ICT
facilities which serve as a major contributor to effective teaching and learning in teacher
education programmes were not available. Based on the findings suggestions and
recommendations were made. The study recommends among other strategies for its (ICT)
maximum utilization; that ICT facilities should be made available for effective teaching and
learning of teacher education programs.

According to (Aliyu, 2022) Teacher Education, Information and Communication
Technology: Prospects and Challenges of E-Teaching Profession in Nigeria. In Nigeria,
teacher education has been bedevilled with a lot of challenges in the modern-day
technology of imparting knowledge in the teaching and learning process. Information and
Communication Technology (ICT) is relatively a very new development in the Nigerian
educational system. ICT plays a significant role in teacher education. Hence, the objective
of this paper is to discuss the prospects of ICT in teacher education as well as its challenges
in the E-teaching profession in Nigeria. The findings via descriptive research revealed that
many teachers in Nigeria are not using ICT facilities in the teaching-learning process due to
some challenges which include the high exorbitant price of ICT facilities, lack of
infrastructures in the areas of electricity supply, lack of adequate trained manpower for the
development, maintenance, and operation of ICT facilities, lack of commitment on the part
of government towards the development of ICT, inadequate funding of internet
connectivity and lukewarm attitude of many teachers to be computer literate among
others. This paper proffers some probable ways of improving ICT in teacher education in
Nigeria. It concludes that the importance of ICT in teacher education to improve the quality
of teaching and learning processes in schools cannot be over-emphasized.
Research Methodology
The data for the study were sourced from both primary and secondary data sources, the
primary data was obtained by administering a structured questionnaire to the teachers of
Government Junior Secondary Schools in Dutse while the secondary sources are literature
from textbooks, journals, and other ministries documents.
The population of the study was comprised of six hundred and seventy-one (671) teachers
in the thirty-seven (37) Government Junior Secondary Schools in Dutse Local Government
Area of Jigawa State. Based on the proportional sampling technique, one hundred and
eleven (111) teachers were selected from the thirty-seven (37) schools in the State that is
three (3) teachers were randomly selected from the 37 Junior Secondary Schools to
constitute the sample for the study. A total of hundred eleven (111) questionnaires were
distributed and ninety-eight (98) questionnaires representing 96% were returned and used
for the study.

Hypothesis Testing
The 5 alternate hypotheses derived from the objectives of the study were tested at a 0.05
level of significance; The collected data was analysed using a Chi-Square statistical tool to
test the hypotheses. The critical (table) value of Chi-square at 95% degree of freedom at a
0.05 level of significance is 101. 87.
Table 7: Hypotheses Testing Decision Table
Hypotheses Calculated Value Decision
Hypothesis 1 106.03 Accepted
Hypothesis 2 123.70 Accepted
Hypothesis 3 103.48 Accepted
Hypothesis 4 109.97 Accepted
Hypothesis 5 Accepted
The calculated values of all the hypotheses were greater than the critical (table) value of
101.87 which implies that the alternate hypothesis is accepted.
Result
Based on the data collected and analyzed all five research questions translated into five
alternate hypotheses were tested and accepted, implying that ICTs have positive effects on
the production of efficient and motivated teachers, enhance teachers’ commitment to the
teaching profession; andnational development, help teachersto fit into the social life of the
community, and society at large to enhance their commitment of national goals. It also has
positive effects on the development of teachers' intellectual and professional backgrounds
adequate for teaching-learning and teachers’ inquiry and creativity skills.
Therefore, the utilization and integration of ICTs in the educational system and services are
very much vital and essential and they will enhance achieving Nigeria's educational goals in
general and teacher development in particular.
Conclusion
The adoption and use of ICTs in schools have a positive impact on teacher education,
teaching, learning, and research. Despite the challenges ICTs in education encounter.
Nigeria has yet to extensively adopt them for teaching and learning. Efforts geared towards
the integration of ICTs into the school system, have not had much impact. Problems such
as poor policy and project implementation strategies and poor information infrastructure
militate against these efforts.
Firstly, the rich representation of information changes the learner’s perception and
understanding of the content. Secondly, the vast distribution and easy access to
information can change the relationship between teachers and students. ICT can also
provide powerful support for educational innovations. By using ICT technologies, we can
overcome all barriers to communication and instruction. ICT can be used as a tool for
training and support of teachers, regardless of geographical dispersion. Therefore, the
15. AJHCER
Vol. 14, No. 2 2024 African Journal of Humanities & Contemporary Education Research 138
www.afropolitanjournals.com
challenge for teachers and Teacher Education institutions has been to create a new
generation of teachers capable of employing a variety of technological tools.
Recommendations
Based on the result of the study Information and Communication Technology has positively
impacted on teacher education in Jigawa state of Nigeria, to ensure that positive impact is
sustain ICTs should be continuing to be adopted widely in teacher education in the state,
and should be made compulsory for all primary and secondary school students. In addition,
the state government should ensure that ICT programs and office should be adequately
funded and ensure the available resources are rationally allocated and efficiently utilized.
Similarly, ICT should be integrated in all subjects at all levels of learning. Furthermore, more
efforts should be made by the Ministry of Education for training and retraining of teachers
in the field of ICT knowledge and skills and equitable distribution of teachers with ICT
knowledge and skills a cross all the schools in the state.
