Abstract

This study investigated the perceptions of science and mathematics teachers on the information and communication technology capacity building needs for the 21st century classroom instructional delivery. Descriptive survey research was adopted for the study using a population of all the basic science teachers in Enugu State. A sample of 86 science and mathematics teachers was randomly selected from the fifty government secondary schools in the two education zones. An instrument titled “Personal Skills and Classroom Activities ICT Capacity Questionnaire” was used for data collection. The reliability indices for the clusters A and B of the instrument were estimated to be 0.89 and 0.78 using Cronbach alpha method. The data collected were analysed using mean and standard deviation to answer the research questions and t-test of independent samples to test the null hypothesis. The findings of the study revealed that: the capacity building needs for personal ICT skills of science and mathematics teachers include: Produce a text using a word processing programme; Use emails to communicate with others; Edit text online containing internet links and images among others while the needs for ICT skills for classroom activities include: Browse/search the internet to collect information to prepare lessons; Browse/search the internet to collect resources to be used during lessons; Use applications to prepare presentations for lessons among others. It was equally revealed that both male and female science and mathematics teachers did not differ significantly on their perceptions of the capacity building needs for both personal and ICT skills for classroom activities.
