USING INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY (ICT) IN CONTENT DELIVERY OF EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH AND STATISTICS: PERCEPTION OF UNIVERSITY ACADEMICS
The present study examined the perception of academics in using Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the content delivery of Educational Research and Statistics. Survey research design was adopted. Multistage sampling procedures were adopted to select 130 academics from 3 universities. Two research questions were stated to guide the study, and two hypotheses were formulated. Two instruments developed by the researchers were used to collect data for the study. Simple percentages were used to answer the research questions. Results revealed that a very high percentage of academics positively perceive using ICT in content delivery of educational research and statistics. From the results, it was recommended, among others, that ICT skill trainings, as well as adequate ICT facilities and electricity, should be made available and accessible to academics for better delivery of Education research and statistics by relevant stakeholders such as university academics. Based on the findings, it was concluded that most academics' positive perception of using ICT has revealed their readiness to embrace innovations in teaching educational research and statistics.
