Lecturers’ Perception of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge in Nigerian Colleges of Education

Abstract

The study investigates lecturers’ perception of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) in Nigerian Colleges of Education. This is a survey method of research, where a questionnaire was used to obtain data from teachers in three public Colleges of Education in a state. The questionnaire is a five-point Likert scale containing 29 items on technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK). The data obtained were analysed using descriptive statistics. Results show that teachers possess the technological knowledge required for their teaching profession and use various teaching pedagogies to teach. Besides, teachers integrate technologies to teach subject content using suitable teaching methods. Finally, teachers employed minimal technologies for their teachings, and only a few lecturers own personal technologies. One of the implications of the outcome of this research is the teacher’s challenge to e-learning. This research indicates that Nigerian Colleges of Education teachers have not been adequately engaging students in online teaching during COVID-19.
