Abstract

The global COVID-19 pandemic has sparked ongoing discussions on how to manage its impact on teaching and learning processes. As a result, the adoption of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) as an alternative to traditional in-person learning has become essential. This study aimed to assess the technological needs of teachers and administrators in the post-COVID era to enhance the quality of education in public senior secondary schools in Ogun State. Four research questions and three hypotheses were addressed using three research instruments, with the reliability of these instruments confirmed via the Cronbach Alpha method (TTPUNAS = 0.85, ATNAS = 0.81, SPICTPES = 0.86). A total of 400 senior secondary students, 200 teachers, and 40 school administrators participated in the study, with data collected through multi-stage sampling. The analysis employed frequency counts, percentages, means, standard deviations, Pearson Product Moment Correlation, and t-test at a 0.05 significance level. The results revealed a significant positive correlation between teachers' technological needs and the quality of education (r = 0.309, p = 0.011 < 0.05). Additionally, a significant relationship was found between school administrators' technological needs and education quality (r = 0.524, p = 0.014 < 0.05). The findings also indicated that the use of modern ICT tools by both teachers and administrators was limited. The study concluded that effective training and retraining of teachers are crucial for the optimal use of ICT in schools. It recommended that both school administrators and teachers be encouraged by the government to attend seminars on the effective use of the latest technologies.
