Abstract
This study examined ICT literacy as it related to demographic variables such as age, gender, qualification, specialisation and experience of secondary school teachers in Ekiti State. The population for the study consisted of all secondary school teachers in Ekiti State and the sample comprised of 400 teachers from 10 out of the 16 Local Government Areas in Ekiti State. Simple random sampling was used to select forty teachers from 2 schools in each local government. The validity of the instrument was ensured by experts in Social Studies, Computer Science and Educational Management. The reliability of the instrument was ascertained through test-retest method and the reliability coefficient of 0.77 was obtained. Seven hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The data collected were analysed using ANOVA, t-test and regression statistical tools. The study revealed that there is significant difference between ICT literacy and age, gender, experience, specialisation and qualification of secondary school teachers in Ekiti State. It was therefore recommended that government should give moral and financial supports to teachers of all ages, gender, experience, specialisation and qualifications and also organise on-the-job training, conferences and workshops on ICT to enable them incorporate ICT into teaching-learning processes for effective and efficient academic delivery in schools.
