Abstract
This study investigated the influence of Information Communication Technology (ICT) in teaching and learning
Geography in selected tertiary institutions in Adamawa State, Nigeria. The study specifically sought to determine if
Geography teachers in tertiary institutions are exposed to new technologies, establish whether new technologies are
available for teaching Geography, investigate the extent of integration of these new technologies into teaching Geography
and examine the factors that inhibit teachers from using new technologies in teaching Geography in selected tertiary
institutions in Adamawa State. The study adopted a descriptive survey design and the population consisted of students of
three tertiary institutions in Adamawa State. Three hundred respondents were selected using stratified random sampling
technique. The instrument titled: „Information and Communication Technology in Teaching and Learning Geography
Questionnaire‟ was validated by an expert in Guidance and Counselling from the Department of Science Education. The
reliability value was calculated using Kudden Richardson formular (KR-21) which yielded reliability co-efficient of 0.87.
