Abstract

This study evaluated the effectiveness of Technology Integrated Curriculum (TIC) in Colleges of Education in Southeast Nigeria. The survey research design was employed to collect data from 250 pre-service teachers and 50 lecturers. The findings revealed that TIC implementation in Colleges of Education is partial, with 48% of pre-service teachers and 50% of lecturers indicating that TIC is partially implemented. Despite the challenges, TIC has a positive impact on teaching and learning outcomes, particularly in terms of student engagement and teaching effectiveness. The study identified limited access to technology, lack of training and support, and technical issues as major challenges to TIC implementation. The study recommends that Colleges of Education should invest in technology infrastructure, provide training and support for lecturers, address technical issues promptly, develop digital content, and monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of TIC implementation regularly. The study's findings and recommendations have implications for improving the effectiveness of TIC implementation in Colleges of Education in Southeast Nigeria and enhancing the quality of teaching and learning outcomes. The study's results show that TIC has the potential to improve student learning outcomes, enhance teaching effectiveness, and increase accessibility. However, the challenges identified need to be addressed to ensure the effective implementation of TIC in Colleges of Education. The study's recommendations provide a roadmap for improving the effectiveness of TIC implementation and enhancing the quality of teaching and learning outcomes in Colleges of Education in Southeast Nigeria
