Description
This study was carried out to determine the functionality of modern communication technology-assisted instructions for teaching in public colleges of education in the South-East for achievement of quality instruction and output. Five research questionnaires and one null hypothesis guided the study. The research adopted a descriptive survey design. Seven public-owned colleges of education in the South-East part of Nigeria constituted the population. Three federal and four state colleges of education participated in the study. A total number of 1,700 academic staff were identified. Through a stratified random sampling, one federal and one state-owned college of education were selected as sample for the study. Thereafter, 170 academic staff representing 10% of the population were selected. Structured questionnaires were used to obtain the opinions of academic staff in the colleges. The instrument was validated by three experts and t-test statistics were used for reliability. Cronbach alpha method was administered. Reliability co-efficient of 0.83 was established which suggested acceptance. The findings show that teachers utilize modern technology-assisted instructions for personal research and academic enhancement, but little was practiced in classroom teaching/learning due to inadequate equipment. This hampers students’ manipulative skills in accessing modern educational technologies. Recommendations were made for adequate funding by government to help achieve instructional objectives in teaching and learning process.
