PERCEPTION OF TEACHERS ON THE INTEGRATION OF ICT IN THE TEACHING OF CHRISTIAN RELIGIOUS STUDIES IN OGBOMOSO METROPOLIS, NIGERIA

Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate the perception of teachers on the integration of ICT in the teaching of Christian Religious Studies (CRS) in secondary schools in Ogbomoso metropolis. The study sought the opinion of Fifty six (56) CRS teachers in Ogbomoso metropolis. A researcher designed questionnaire titled “Perception of CRS teacher on the use of Information and Communication Technology in the teaching of CRS in secondary schools” was used for data collection while the data collected were analysed using mean and rank order to answer the research questions that were raised and independent t-test and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to test the hypothesis postulated for the study at 0.05 level of significance. The result obtained from the study showed that the use of ICT facilities enhanced the effective and efficient teaching of CRS as perceived by Senior Secondary School CRS Teachers in Ogbomoso and there is no significant difference in their perception in terms of gender, qualification and teaching experience. The study therefore recommended that teachers should teach by integrating ICT facilities into their teaching. This will make the
lesson less boring to the learners, the few ICT facilities available should be serviced and maintained. The government should come to the aid of the secondary schools to supply upto-date facilities especially in the rural areas.
