dc.description.abstractThis study was to establish the relationship between Information Technology (IT) skills of Secretarial Teachers in Nigerian Colleges of Education and their ability to utilize the Internet for Effective Lecture Delivery. Many secretarial teachers possess some degree of IT skills but these skills were not utilized to access information from the Internet, thereby not making them to be current and innovative within the mainstream of classroom teaching and learning. The major objective of the study is to discover how to fill the gap that existed between Information Technology Skills possessed by Secretarial Teachers in Nigerian Colleges of Education and the actual usage of the skills to access Internet for information that will assist them in effective Classroom Delivery. Four Research Questions and four Null Hypotheses were generated for this research study. The research design employed for this research study was the descriptive survey research. The Population for the study was 250 Secretarial Teachers drawn from 58 Accredited Nigerian Colleges of Education. No sampling was done because of the small size of the target population. However, out of the 250 Secretarial Teachers, only 225 Secretarial Teachers responded to the questionnaire that was divided into 4 parts. The questionnaire was used to obtained information on the respondents’ Bio-data and computer use background, Teacher Information Technology Skill Acquisition Competence (TITSC), Teacher Information Technology Skills Usage (TITSU), Teacher Information Technology Internet Knowledge (TITIK), and The extent of usage of Internet information to teach the Secretarial courses. Data were analyzed using mean and standard deviation for answering the five research questions, while t-test was used to test for differences, and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient was used to test for relationships of the null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The results of the study shows lack of basic learning experiences needed to adequately equip the teachers with ability to download and upload quality information and teach students how to do that. Owing to the lack of these IT skills therefore, the teachers were not capable in accessing Internet by using some Information Technology facilities to get vital information for effective classroom delivery. Though there was a significant relationship between Information Technology skills acquisition and classroom delivery. As weak as the relationship was that was discovered in the study, it was only effective on Office Practice, a course out of other courses offered in the Secretarial programme. The study concluded that, anyone that must be a proficient, versatile, current, effective and efficient teacher of office education in any of the Nigerian Colleges of Education, must be computer literate, highly skillful and innovative, and should demonstrate how to utilize and develop Information Technology in order to remain relevant in the modern day world teaching and research. Recommendations included the need for NCCE to integrate the current practices of Information Technology into the curriculum of the NCE secretarial education of the Nigerian Colleges of Education, and the need for an urgent retraining of the Secretarial Teachers in line with current Information Technology operations and societal needs to augment for an up-date of curriculum content.en_US
