Abstract

The low ICT literacy level of NCE graduates in Nigeria was attributed to the level
of ICT skills possessed by lecturers in colleges of education. This study was aimed at
investigating the ICT skills possessed by academic staff of colleges of education in south
western Nigeria. Three research questions guided the conduct of the study. Survey design
was adopted for the study. The population of the study consisted of 379 programme
administrators. 229 programme administrators constituted the sample used for the study.
A questionnaire titled 'Teacher ICT Skills Assessment Questionnaire (TICTSAQ)' was
developed by the researcher on a 4-point response scale and used for the collection of
data. The instrument was validated by four experts. The reliability coefficient of the
instrument was 0.76 using the Cronbach Alpha. The analysis of data was done using
arithmetic mean. The results revealed that lecturers did not possess all ICT skills assessed
in the study. It was recommended among others that teacher education curricula should
be reviewed by the government to include ICT skills not possessed by lecturers.
