dc.description.abstractThis study was an assessment of “Information Communication Technology and Business Education Students Academic Performance in Accounting in Nigeria Federal Universities”. The investigation revealed that despite the enormous benefits the use of information and communication technology has brought to bear on education as a means of facilitating teaching and learning, a vast majority of students of Business Education did not employ the use of the Information and Communication Technology to support their learning because they didn’t have the requisite skills to operate these information technology resources. Five research objectives and five research questions were raised to provide a lead to answering the problem envisaged by the investigator. The researcher used the descriptive correlational survey design for the study. The population for the study consisted of 75 lecturers and 286 students of Business Education, giving a total of 361. The same number (361) was adopted as the sample for the study because of the small nature of the population. Descriptive statistics and correlational coefficient were used to analyze data collected for the research and to test the null hypotheses. Five null hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. Major findings from the analysis of data collected for the studys, were as followings: findings from research question one, revealed Business Education students in Nigeria Federal Universities do not have the requisite skills and proficiency for operating Information and Communication Technology. Findings from the analysis of research question two, revealed that Business Education students spent little time on Information and Communication Technology. Findings from research question three revealed that Business Education students used Information and Communication Technology for purposes other than for academic works. For research question three, findings showed that male students explore Information and Communication Technology resources more than female students, who were less adventurous. Findings from research question four revealed that Business Education students, who employ the use of Information and Communication Technology to support their academic work, perform relatively better than students who do not. Based on the research findings,the researcher made some recommendations, among which are that, Information and Communication Technology should be integrated into the curriculum of Business Education to enable students develop skills and be computer literate. The federal government should provide computers in all universities and these computers should all be connected to the internet. Business Education students should be encouraged to spend more time exploring Information and Communication Technology resources in order to develop essential skills. The federal government should purchase computers in large number and resale them at highly subsidized rates so that every student can buy and own a computer, as this will help in rapid ICT skill development among students.en_US
