The main
purpose of the study was to examine administrative variables and provision of
ICT services in Colleges of Education South-South Zone, Nigeria. Four
specific objectives, four research questions and four null hypotheses guided
the study. Survey research design was adopted for the study. Stratified random
sampling technique was used to select 50 staff and 200 students from the
population of the study. Two instruments were developed for data collection
known as Administrative Variable Questionnaire (AVQ) and Provision of ICT
Services Questionnaire (PICTSQ). The instrument was forwarded to three experts
in Measurement and Evaluation for scrutiny and vetting to establish it face and
content validity. Thirty (30) respondents outside the study area were subjected
to trial testing to ascertain the internal consistency of the instrument.
Responses obtained were subject to testing using cronbach alpha reliability
coefficient. The reliability index of the instruments was 0.82 and 0.78 for
administrative variables and provision of ICT services respectively. Simple
linear regression analysis was used to test all the four null hypotheses. The
findings revealed that there is no significant relationship between funding and
provision of ICT, there is significant relationship between staffing and
provision of ICT, there is no statistically significant relationship between
coordination and provision of ICT and there is no significant relationship
between monitoring and provision of ICT services. It was recommended that
multiple factors should be use to predict the provision of ICT services in Colleges
of Education, South-South, Nigeria. Based on the findings of the study, it was
concluded that stakeholder in education industries should shift focus from one
single factor to multivariate factors in determining the provision of ICT in
Colleges of Education South-South Nigeria.
