Abstract

Mobile technologies are the most ubiquitous piece of technology in the world. Their multiple functions can put the most up-to-date information at the fingertips of the user. However, schools have been slow to embrace these devices out of fear and ignorance on how to use their capabilities. It is on this basis that the purpose of this study is to examine teachers’ perception towards using mobile technologies in senior secondary in Oyo State. The teachers in three educational zones consists of Oyo, Ogbomoso and Ibadan out of the eight educational zones in Oyo State was purposively selected based on ICT accessibility. The researcher’s-designed questionnaire was used and simple random was used to select one hundred and fifty (150) teachers which served as 10% from the selected educational zones. Three research questions were answered using mean and standard deviation while the hypotheses was analyzed with ANOVA.The results of the findings indicated that teachers have positive perceptions towards the use of mobile technologies with the mean score of 42.4067, Chi-square value of 118.987 with p-value of .000. The teachers perception towards the use of mobile technologies based on gender are significantly different with the t-test value of 2.767 with p-value of 0.006. The result also shows that there is a significant difference in teachers perception on the use of mobile technologies based on years of experience (F(3,141)= 9.851,P<0.05,) and there is a significant difference in teachers’ perception on the use of mobile technologies based on academic qualifications (F(3,141)= 16.321,P<0.05). It was recommended that in order to provide the best functional education, curriculum planners should strive to incorporate an effective practical attainment method with the use of mobile technologies in teaching and learning.
