dc.description.abstractThis study was inspired by a concern over the low level of interest and usage of ICT in educational practices by teachers in Nigerian schools. As established in literature, teachers’ low level of interest towards the usage of ICT in educational practices is associated with the ‘lack of focus’ and ‘poor state of ICT integration’ in teacher education and training in Nigeria. The study introduces and tests the effects of ICT integration (as an intervention program) on social studies pre-service teachers’ ICT literacy and competence; basic knowledge of inquiry approach; achievement (in subject content knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, knowledge of technology; and their application in classroom teaching); and interest towards the use of ICT in teaching and learning. The intervention design introduces a new instruction approach improving on the GPM model for application in ICT-Based inquiry approach in social studies teacher education. Four research questions and hypotheses were raised for the study. Sequential mixed method approach involving quasiexperiment design was used. A total of 192 social studies pre-service teachers’ (males and females) selected from four colleges of education participated in the study. Purposeful sampling technique was used in selecting the participants into the study while random sampling technique was used in assigning the participants into the three respective research groups. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected using questionnaires (adapted from literature) and observation rubrics.en_US
