Abstract


This study investigated the availability and extent of utilization of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) facilities for human resource management in colleges of education in Anambra State, Nigeria. Six specific purposes, six research questions and six hypotheses guided the study. Descriptive survey design was adopted for the study. The population of the study comprised all 145 HODs in 145 departments in the two colleges of education in Anambra State; which was used as the sample for the study. Availability of ICT Facilities Checklist (AICTC), Utilization of Information and Communication Technology Facilities Rating Scale (UICTRS), and Extent of Utilization of Information and Communication Technology Facilities Rating Scale (EUICTRS) structured by the researcher were used for data collection. The instruments were face-validated by three experts in the Faculty of Education, Nnamdi University, Awka. Trial test was conducted to determine the internal consistency of the instrument. Internal consistency co-efficient of 0.85, 0.81, and 0.94 were obtained for availability of computers, internet services, and projectors respectively using Kudder-Richardson (K-R21) formula; while internal consistency co-efficient of 0.87, 0.91, and 0.89 were obtained for utilization of computers, internet services, and projectors respectively. Data collected were analyzed using frequency counts, percentage, mean, standard deviation, chi-square and t-test. The p-value was used to determine the significant difference at 0.05 level of significance for all hypotheses. The findings
