Assessment of the Impact of Technology Integration on Quality of Education in Colleges of Education, Nigeria

Abstract: This study examines the assessment of the impact of technology integration on quality of education in collages of education, Nigeria using a quantitative research design method. Findings from study state that technology integration has significant impact on quality of education in collages of education in Nigeria and this suggest that the coefficient for Technology use (-0.25) indicates that for every one-unit increase in the frequency of technology use in teaching, student engagement decreases by 0.25 units. The coefficient for Comfort level (0.30) suggests that for every one-unit increase in educators’ comfort level with technology integration, student engagement increases by 0.30 units. The standard errors for Technology use (0.08) and Comfort level (0.10) represent the variability of the coefficients around the true population values. A lower standard error indicates that the coefficient estimate is more precise. The t-statistic for Technology use (-3.13) tests the significance of the coefficient and indicates that the relationship between Technology use and student engagement is statistically significant (p < 0.01). The t-statistic for Comfort level (3.00) also shows statistical significance, suggesting that the relationship between Comfort level and student engagement is significant (p < 0.01). therefore, the study recommends that government should develop targeted professional development programs to enhance educators’ comfort levels with technology integration and promote best practices in utilizing technology tools, implement strategies to address economic disparities and ensure equitable access to technology resources for all educators and foster a culture of diversity and inclusion by valuing educators’ diverse backgrounds and perspectives in technology integration efforts.
