The Role of Digital Technology in Enhancing Mathematics Education in Senior Secondary Schools in Lere Local Government Area of Kaduna State
The study was on the role of digital technology in enhancing mathematics education in senior secondary schools in Lere Local Government Area of Kaduna State, Nigeria. Three research objectives and three research questions guided the study. The review of literature in the study was organized under the following subheadings: Theoretical framework, Conceptual framework, and review of related literature. Descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The sample for the study consisted of fifty-two (52) mathematics teachers drawn from the population of the study using simple random sampling technique. The instrument for data collection in this study was a questionnaire titled, Roles of Digital Technology in Enhancing Mathematics Education Questionnaire (RDTEMEQ) and analyzed using mean and standard deviation via Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS, version 22). The results revealed that digital technology resources for teaching Mathematics in secondary schools within Lere LGA are largely unavailable (X = 1.75, S.D = 1.10), the extent of Mathematics teachers' utilization of digital technology in their instructional practices is generally low (X = 2.16, S.D = 1.12) and teachers face significant challenges in integrating digital technology into Mathematics education (X= 3.83, S. D = 1.23). The researchers recommended that the government and school administrators should invest in the provision of ICT infrastructure, including functional computers, internet access, and digital learning platforms, among others.
