Abstract
This study examined the availability and utilization of information and
communication technology (ICT) among instructors in adult and nonformal
education centers in Kwara State, Nigeria. Three objectives were
raised and translated to research questions to guide the study. A
descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study and 271
was considered as the target populations comprising male and female
instructors. A sample size of one hundred and sixty (160) respondents
was selected across the State. A multi-stage sampling procedure
consisting of cluster sampling, purposive sampling and simple random
sampling was adopted. Check list and questionnaire were used as an
instrument for data collection for the study. The reliability of
instruments was achieved using test-retest technique and a co-efficient
0.82 was obtained. The administration of the instruments was carried out by the researchers and five volunteer field research assistants. The
data collected was analyzed using frequency count and percentages.
One of the findings revealed that the level of utilization of ICT among
instructors was low. It is therefore, recommended that there is a need
to create awareness among instructors on the level of utilization of ICT
to increase the level of consciousness for effective teaching learning
process.
