Abstract:
The paper explored the availability of information and communication
technology (ICT) resources and the extent to which these
resources influence the use of ICT in teaching Social Studies.
The study setting was in the Awutu Senya district of Ghana. A
descriptive survey design and quantitative approach were adopted
for the study. From a target population of fifty-seven (57), 46
were sampled from which 39 participated in the survey. Means
and standard regression were employed for the investigation.
The testing of hypothesis was made possible through the use
of structured equation modelling. The study concluded that ICT
resources were inadequate for teaching Social Studies and that
the use of ICT resources in teaching Social Studies in the district
was low. The reason was evident based on the low level of ICT
resources in the district. The study also concluded that there
was a positive significant relationship between availability of ICT
resources and its use in the teaching of Social Studies.
