Abstract

This study critically explored Information and Communication Technology: As a Panacea for Addressing Teaching and Learning Pedagogy Among Teachers Using Fifth Generation Technology in 21st Century Nigeria. Two objectives and two hypotheses guided the study. Quasi experimental research design and descriptive survey research design were employed for the study. The population of the study consisted of all teachers in public senior secondary schools in FCT. Stratified random sampling technique was used to select six (6) secondary schools in the FCT, while purposive sampling technique was used to select a sample size of sixty teachers (60). The instrument for data collection were a four-point rating scale and a researcher structured questionnaire of the four-point Likert scale. the questionnaire was validated by test and measurement experts in the university of Abuja with a reliability index of 0.84 for experimental group and 0.86 for control group using Cronbach’s alpha statistic. Mean score and standard deviation were used to analyzed the questionnaire and rating scale, while independent sample t- test and one-way ANCOVA were employed for testing of the two hypotheses. The findings revealed that there is significant difference in the mean assessment response on the impact of modern components of fifth generation technology between male and female teachers in public secondary schools in FCT; the study also revealed that, there is significant difference in the mean assessment response of the efficiency of utilization of modern components of fifth generation technology between the experimental group and the control group of teachers. The following recommendations were made: Skills of fifth generation technology utilization should be a major requirement for recruitment of teachers both male and female in secondary schools in FCT; administrators should emphasize the mandatory use of different fifth generation methodologies, gadgets a
