AB  - The study focused on teacher’s perception of
the status of social studies education in information and
communication technology driven society. One research
question and one null hypothesis were formulated that
guided the study. The design of the study was descriptive
survey research design and the population of the study
comprised 308 social studies teachers. Questionnaire was
used for data collection and data were analyzed using
mean and standard deviation while t-test was used in
analyzing the null hypotheses. The findings of the study

problem of Information and Communication Technology
(ICT) driven society and that there is no significant

teachers on the status of social studies education in
Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
driven society. Based on these findings, some
recommendations were made, VIZ: Government

dependence on information and communication
technologies devices for instructional delivery in Nigerian
schools and social studies teachers in all categories of
schools should lay more emphasis on topics that promote
and preserve Nigerian cultural heritages.
