dc.description.abstractComputer-Based Test (CBT) is being adopted for assessment by many institutions in Nigeria due to increase in students’ population, expansion work demands on academic staff, and advances in Information and Communication Technology (ICT). The successful implementation of any innovation in education depends largely on the attitude and the competency skills of educators, who eventually determine how they are used in the teaching and learning process. The purpose of this study therefore was to examine the attitude and competency skills of undergraduate students toward ICT, the basic skills of which required in CBT. The study adopted descriptive survey design. The population of this study comprised all undergraduate students of University of Ilorin. One thousand and twelve (1,012) undergraduate students were randomly selected for the study. A questionnaire measuring students ICT competence and attitude to ICT was used for data collection. The instrument had acceptable validity and had test-retest reliability coefficient of 0.82 and 0.84 for both student’s ICT competence and attitude to ICT respectively. Data collected were analyzed with percentages, mean, standard deviation, skewness and kurtosis. The findings of the study revealed that undergraduate students have positive attitudes towards ICT; and moderate competence in ICT. Based on the findings, it was recommended that the university system should provide adequate opportunity for all students to learn relevant computer skills and develop more positive attitude to complement their existing competence and attitude.en_US
