Abstract :

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the use of ICT for improving instructional delivery of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) skills in technical colleges of Kano State. The study consisted of three objectives which include; identifying relevant ICT equipment to use, identifying the constraint against the effective use of ICT, and identifying the strategies that will be adopted toward full usage of ICT for improving the effective delivery of TVET skills in Kano State. Three research questions were derived based on the objectives of the study. The population of the study comprised 79 teachers of the five technical colleges. 63 teachers were used as a sample of the study. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design and a Questionnaire on Improving Instructional Delivery of TVET Skills using ICT (IIDTSIQ) was developed and used as an instrument. The instrument was validated, and a reliability of 0.80 was obtained using the test-retest method. Data collected from the retrieved questionnaires were analyzed using mean and standard deviation.Thus, the findings of the study indicate that; high cost of ICT gadgets, insufficient smart boards, epileptic power supply, poor internet access, and lack of proper funding for maintaining the few available ICT equipments were some of the constraints that affected instructional delivery of TVET skills using ICT. Hence, it is recommended that instructional materials such as a computer, smart boards, and internet facilities should be made available and maintain, internet services and power supply should be stable, and finally, Computer education should be made compulsory to both the teachers and students of the technical colleges in Kano State.
