Journal Title: International Journal of Innovation and Research in Educational Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
his research employed a mixed method approach to explore teachers’ perception towards ICT use in the classroom in Secondary Schools in Bayelsa State in Nigeria and the implications of teachers’ gender on teachers’ perceptions. Twenty participants participated in the FGDs held in 3 groups and 442 teachers from schools with and without ICT facilities responded to questionnaires. The Mann-Whitney U test was performed on the teachers’ responses and the results showed that there was a gender difference between male and female teachers’ perceptions about ICT in schools in favour of male teachers having more positive perceptions in all the 16 items. This implied that teachers’ perception of ICT use in schools was influenced by teachers’ gender.
