Abstract
Central to the actualization of a student’s educational technology goal is the usage of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) resources. It was on that premise that this study was carried out to examine the relationship between students’ ICT background exposure, access to ICT learning facilities and academic achievement in undergraduate educational technology programme at Federal University of Technology, Minna, Nigeria. The study adopted a mixed-design approach using descriptive survey and ex-post facto design. A multi-stage sampling procedure was used to select 100 educational technology undergraduates and two research instruments were used for data collection. The instruments were subjected to validation and reliability checks. Two research questions were formulated and two corresponding null hypotheses were tested at 0.05 alpha level of significance. Data gathered were analyzed using mean, standard deviation and Pearson Product Moment Correlation formula. Findings revealed that there was no significant relationship between students’ ICT background exposure, access to ICT learning facilities and academic achievement. Hence, it was recommended that educational technology students should be educated and enlightened on proper usage of information and communication technology tools in order to enhance their academic achievement.
