Abstract
In this survey study, an attempt was made to examine the Nigerian Basic School teachers’ knowledge and use of ICTs for teaching and learning tasks. Threehundred and fifty-five Basic School teachers took part in the study. Two instruments were designed to gather data in the study, namely; (1) Basic School Teachers’ ICTs Self-assessment Test and (2) Basic School Teachers Use of ICTs Self-assessment Scale. Findings of the study revealed that most of the Basic School teachers lacked adequate knowledge of ICTs for teaching and learning tasks. Results of the study also indicated that the most frequently used ICT tools for teaching and learning tasks by the Basic School teachers were the Computer, Internet and the Cell phone. The study advocated for the introduction of e-education as a core course into teacher education programs and the provision of ICTs facilities in all Basic Schools for effective teaching and meaningful learning
