Abstract
This study investigated the relationship among Information Communication Technology
utilization, self-regulated learning and academic performance of prospective teachers. The ex-post
facto design (correlation method) was employed for the study. The research subjects were 580
prospective teachers who were drawn using multi-stage sampling technique from University of
Ilorin, Nigeria. Seven research questions were generated while four hypotheses were tested at 0.05
level of significance. A researcher-constructed questionnaire tagged “Information Communication
Technology Utilization and Self-Regulated Learning Questionnaire (ICTUSRLQ)” was used for
data collection. The instrument was administered on 60 selected prospective teachers outside the
sample location through test-retest method; it yielded a reliability coefficient of 0.79 that was
obtained through the Cronbach’s Alpha formula. Data were analysed with percentage, mean and
rank order, t-test, Pearson Product Moment Correlation and multiple regression statistical tools.
The findings revealed that prospective teachers have a high level of ICT utilization, self-regulation
and academic performance; gender did not influence prospective teachers’ ICT utilization, selfregulation and academic performance; there was a significant relationship between Information
Communication Technology utilization and self-regulated learning and that there was a significant
composite relationship among ICT utilization, self-regulation (elaboration, organization, critical
thinking, metacognition, peer learning and help seeking) and academic performance of prospective
teachers. The researchers recommended that self-regulation training and ICT competence capacity
building workshops should be organized for prospective teachers in University of Ilorin.
