Abstract :
This study investigates the impact of ICT (Information and Communication Technology) training programmes on the teaching effectiveness of secondary school teachers in Kano State, Nigeria. The growing integration of technology into education has made ICT competency a critical aspect of teacher performance. The study adopted a descriptive survey design involving 200 secondary school teachers across public and private institutions in the state. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential analysis (t-test and correlation). Findings revealed that teachers who underwent formal ICT training reported higher levels of teaching effectiveness, including improved lesson planning, classroom engagement, and assessment techniques. The study concludes that ICT training enhances pedagogical competence and recommends that education authorities in Kano State should mandate regular ICT training programmes and provide infrastructure support to ensure successful integration of technology into classroom practices.
