Abstract

This study investigated the relative effectiveness of ICT tools and facilities on the teaching and learning of Mathematics on SSS1 students, so that by year 2030, teachers and students, would have exploited the available technologies, to improve both students and teachers’ teaching and learning outcomes. A pre-test post-test experimental design was adopted for the research; the pre-test was used to test for the homogeneity of the sample used for the study. The targeted population is 177 public senior secondary school 1. A simple random and purposive sampling technique was used to select the schools and the students respectively. 150 students from three intact classes were selected for the study which were later divided into two groups of 75 students in experimental group and 75 students in control group. This arrangement was supported by central limit theorem that regarded a minimum of 30 sample size appropriate for experimental group. Two null hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance, Information and Communication Technology Mathematics Achievement Test (ICTMAT) was the instrument used in collecting data for the study. The reliability coefficient of the instrument was realized as r=0.76 and the instrument was also given content, facial and criterion validation. The data collected was analyzed using mean, standard deviation and t-test statistics at 0.05 level of significance. Outcome results indicated that students taught Mathematics with ICT tools and facilities (Experimental group) performed better than those students taught with traditional method (Conventional strategy). The result of gender differential on students taught Mathematics with ICT tools and facilities also revealed that male students performed better than female students. The outbreak of handset was an advantage to students to learn fast which assisted them in the usage of ICT tools and facilities. The study recommended among others that Mathematics teachers should endeavor to integrate the uses of ICT tools and facilities to their teaching and learning of Mathematical concepts and that Nigeria government should ensure that schools have stable electricity power supply if we’re so interested to be recognized by year 2030
