Description

This study examined Information and Communication Technology and its influence on Business Education students' performance among Delta State tertiary institutions. The study was guided by three research questions and three null hypotheses. The study adopted the descriptive survey on a population comprising of nine hundred and thirty-seven (937) respondents from the 2022/2023 academic session of the four (4) public tertiary institutions offering Business Education programme in the state. The sample size for the study was two hundred and ninety-six (296) undergraduate Business Education students. The instrument for data collection was the questionnaire. Data generated were analyzed using the Mean, Standard Deviation and the Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (PPMCC) for the research questions and formulated null hypotheses. Findings revealed amongst others that ICT facilities are available and at the disposal of Business Education students in Delta State tertiary institutions; that ICT facilities are being utilized by Business Education students in Delta State tertiary institutions; there is a significant correlation between the availability of ICT to Business Education student and its influence on their performance in Delta State tertiary institutions. The study concluded that if ICT is well embraced and sustained across all four Delta State public tertiary institutions sampled for this investigation, it will bring about better learning and enhanced performance; which by extension will facilitate the production of quality Business Education graduates who can be successful in the world of work. The study recommended amongst others that government should consistently make available information and communication technologies in Delta State tertiary institutions and revamp on a regular basis, the already existing ICT infrastructures, as this will help in the consistent use of the facilities for teaching and learning.
