Abstract
his work assessed the competency of technology teachers in the use of Information and
Communication Technology (ICT) resources for instructional delivery in secondary schools in
Kwara State. Three research questions three null hypotheses were formulated to guide the
study. Descriptive survey design was adopted for the study. A total population of 202
Technology Teachers was used for the study. The instruments used for data collection were
ICT Technology Teachers Competency (ICT-TTC) Test Instrument; and ICT Observation
Checklist (ICT-OC) were the instruments used for the study. Cronbach Alpha was used in
determining the internal consistency of ICT-TTC, reliability coefficient of 0.78 was obtained.
While Kudder Richardson 20 (K.R.20) was used to obtain the reliability of ICT-OC instrument
and it yielded reliability index of 0.86. Research question one was answered using frequency
and percentages while research questions two and three were answered using mean and
standard deviation. Chi-square was used to test hypothesis one- and One-Way Analysis of
Variance (ANOVA) was used to test the hypotheses two and three at 0.05 level of significance.
The findings of the study revealed that ICT resources for instructional delivery were mostly
available in federal secondary schools when compared to private and state secondary schools
in Kwara State. Also, the Technology teachers in federal secondary schools use ICT resources
more than Technology teachers in state and private secondary schools for instructional
delivery. Also, there is no significant difference in the Technology teachers’ competence in the
utilization of available ICT resources in federal, state and private secondary schools in Kwara
state. In line with the findings of the study, the educational implications of the findings were
highlighted and recommendations were equally proffered among others that Technology
teachers, students, education administrators, government, and curriculum planner should
encourage effective utilization of available ICT resources for instructional delivery in both
federal state and private secondary schools in Kwara State.
