This study investigated the relationship among Information and Communication Technology (ICT) utilization, self-regulated learning, and academic performance of prospective teachers. An ex-post facto design using the correlation method was applied, drawing 580 prospective teachers from the University of Ilorin, Nigeria, through multi-stage sampling. Seven research questions guided the study and four hypotheses were tested at the 0.05 significance level. Data were collected with the ICTUSRLQ questionnaire, validated via test-retest reliability (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.79) and analysed using t-test, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression.

Introduction

THE RELATIONSHIP AMONG INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY UTILIZATION, SELF-REGULATED LEARNING AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF PROSPECTIVE TEACHERS ONIVEHU Adams Ogirima, ADEGUNJU Adewale Kabir, OHAWUIRO Emilia Onyinyechi, OYENIRAN Juliana Bunmi Abstract: This study investigated the relationship among Information Communication Technology utilization, self-regulated learning and academic performance of prospective teachers. The ex-post facto design (correlation method) was employed for the study. The research subjects were 580 prospective teachers who were drawn using multi-stage sampling technique from University of Ilorin, Nigeria. Seven research questions were generated while four hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. A researcher-constructed questionnaire tagged “Information Communication Technology Utilization and Self-Regulated Learning Questionnaire (ICTUSRLQ)” was used for data collection. The instrument was administered on 60 selected prospective teachers outside the sample location through test-retest method; it yielded a reliability coefficient of 0.79 that was obtained through the Cronbach’s Alpha formula. Data were analysed with percentage, mean and rank order, t-test, Pearson Product Moment Correlation and multiple regression statistical tools. The findings revealed that prospective teachers have a high level of ICT utilization, self-regulation and academic performance; gender did not influence prospective teachers’ ICT utilization, selfregulation and academic performance; there was a significant relationship between Information Communication Technology utilization and self-regulated learning and that there was a significant composite relationship among ICT utilization, self-regulation (elaboration, organization, critical thinking, metacognition, peer learning and help seeking) and academic performance of prospective teachers. The researchers recommended that self-regulation training and ICT competence capacity building workshops should be organized for prospective teachers in University ofIlorin.

Introduction The sustainable development of any nation is essentially premised on the knowledge, character and skills, of its human resources. Recognizing this fact, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP, 2017) has stressed the importance of education as an indispensable tool for fostering the development of human resources for the sustainable development of nations. In this sense, therefore, education is an enterprise that has attracted substantial investment from many nations in Sub-Saharan Africa till date. In Nigeria for instance, education has been widely recognized and adopted as an indispensable tool for fostering national development. Essentially, the Nigerian philosophy of education stresses the importance of providing equal educational opportunities for all citizens of the nation at the primary, secondary and tertiary levels. Indeed, these different levels of education have been designed to cater for different needs of individuals and the nation at large. For instance, tertiary education is basically deployed by several Monotechnics, Polytechnics, Colleges of Education, Universities and a host of other post-secondary institutions that are located across the length and breadth of the country. More so, there is a broad range of extant and emerging Federal, State and Private universities in Nigeria that have been licensed to offer many courses as accredited by the National Universities Commission (NUC) . On the whole, the National Policy on Education (2013) stipulates that university education shall make optimum contribution to national development by offering and tailoring its programmes to foster development of adequate human resources in line with the peculiar needs of the nation. Hence, in order to ascertain whether or not the goals of universit
