This study philosophically examined the extent of ICT usage for professional development of
principals in secondary school in South East, Nigeria. Specifically, the study examined the extent of ICT
facilities usage for professional development of principals and the extent of the challenges of male and female
principals competencies in ICT usage for professional development in secondary schools in South East,
Nigeria. Two research questions and a null hypothesis guided the study. The population of the study
comprised 819 principals in secondary schools in South East, Nigeria. A questionnaire tagged "Information
Communication Technology and Professional Development Questionnaire (ICTPDQ) was used to collect data
needed for the study. The instrument solicited information on the extent of ICT facilities usage for professional
development and the challenges of male and female principals competencies in ICT usage for professional
development in secondary schools in South East, Nigeria. The result of the findings showed that there is no
significant difference (p>0.05) in the mean ratings of male and female principals on the extent of ICT usage for
professional development in secondary schools in South-East, Nigeria. Recommendation is also made that
principals should be encouraged by the government to attend ICT training by providing the needed funds and
facilities for the programme. |

The study investigated age and qualification as correlates of quality assurance practices of principals
in secondary schools in South East, Nigeria. Two research questions and two null hypothesis guided the study.
The correlational survey design was adopted for the study. The population of the study comprised 1.247
principals in public secondary schools in South East, Nigeria. The sample sizes for the study consist of 819
principals. Balloting without replacement was used to draw three states out of the five states that constitute
South-East states. All the principals in these drawn states were used. The instrument for data collection was
researchers-developed instrument. The instrument was face validated by three experts from the Faculty of
Education, University of Nigeria, Nsukka. The internal consistency coefficients were obtained through
Cronbach alpha method. This gave reliability values of 0.68, 0.76 and 0.85 for clusters 1-3. The overall reliability
index of 0.87 was obtained. The questionnaire was administered and 797 copies were retrieved. The data
collected were analyzed using Pearson to answer the research questions while multiple linear regression
analysis was used to test the hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. There was significant relationship
between qualification and quality assurance practices. Age of the principals did not correlate quality assurance.
Based on these findings, recommendations were also proffered among which was that principals should be
encouraged to go for individual development programmes to acquire higher degrees for better performance in
quality assurance practices. |
