INTEGRATION OF ICT INTO THE TEACHING AND LEARNING OF ECONOMICS OF EDUCATION IN PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES IN LAGOS-STATE

Introduction: The integration of technology in education has been widely studied with scholars emphasising its potential to enhance teaching and learning experiences across various disciplines (Adu & Zondo, 2022). One area where ICT have continually been of great impact is in the teaching and learning process. The quest to integrate ICT into the Nigerian educational system can be seen from the fact that ICT has contemporarily become a veritable tool in helping to realize the potential of the new technologies and tools required to revolutionize the out-modelled educational system. In economics of education,the use of digital tools and platforms has been associated with improved students engagement and conceptual understanding of complex economic principles (Brownlow & Colvin, 2022). Despite the several attempts to shift from the conservative methods of teaching and learning, it seems there is little attention in the use of ICT in teaching economic of education at public universities in Lagos-State. Aims/Objectives: Is to examine how ICT has been integrated into the teaching and learning of Economics of Education to sustain the attention and stimulate the interest of the students; to produce highly skilled and educated workforce with aptitude and skills in the application of ICT amongst university undergraduates'. Significance: The use of ICT-based teaching and learning would have a profound impact on students by providing the ICT tools to engage in deeper economic analysis and fostering a more collaborative learning environment. Methodology: The study is a descriptive survey design, respondents would comprise of economics of education students and lecturers from public universities in Lagos-State. A structured questionnaire would be used to elicit responses from both the students and lecturers. The data would be analyzed using frequency and percentages, mean and standard deviation. The expected results would be based on the data collected from the research questions.
