Analytic Approach for ICT Embedded in Technical Education

The importance of Information and Communication Technology in driving the overall development of the global space is undeniable. Developed economies have been able to accelerate their growth and progress in this century through their advanced usage of technology. The integration of Information and Communication Technology tools has greatly enhanced research and educational development in these countries. However, Nigeria’s Technical Education programme seems to be facing challenges in this aspect. Despite the nation’s quest for technological advancement, it is evident that there is a need for improvement in this field to fully utilize the potential of Information and Communication Technology. The meta-analysis conducted on the journal articles regarding Information and Communication Technology adoption in technical education between 2012 and 2024 reveals that Nigeria and Africa are facing significant challenges in adopting this technology. The study, which was conducted using Google Scholar as the database, included 26 publications after applying the specified inclusion and exclusion criteria. The findings of the study suggest that most researchers tend to focus on review studies without providing any specific recommendations for improving the adoption of Information and Communication Technology tool in Technical Education. This highlights the need for further research and efforts to fully integrate this technology into technical education in Nigeria and Africa.
