Abstract
The study examined the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) challenges encountered in teaching business education in Rivers State tertiary institutions. The research adopted a descriptive survey design. Two research questions and two hypotheses were posed to guide the study. The population for the study was 99 Business Education lecturers and the sample size was 70 Business Education lecturers that was randomly selected from three selected tertiary institutions in Rivers State, namely; Rivers State University of Science and Technology Port Harcourt (RSUST), Ignatius Ajuru University of Education (IAUOE) and Federal College of Education (Technical) Omoku (FCET). The Instrument used for data collection was a structured questionnaire titled “ICT Challenges in Teaching Business Education Questionnaire” (ICTBEQ). The reliability of the research instrument was obtained using test-retest method, the Pearson Product Moment Correlation coefficient of .87 was obtained. The instrument was validated by two experts from the department of business education, Rivers State University of Science and Technology. All 70 copies of the questionnaire were retrieved and analyzed using mean for the research questions and analysis of variance (ANOVA) for the hypothesis at .05 level of significance. The results obtained indicated that business education lecturers are yet to fully apply ICT facilities in teaching and this is as a result of the challenges confronting its application. Thus, it is required that both government and relevant stakeholders must come together to put in place the necessary ICT facilities in order to improve its use in teaching business education.
