Information and communication technology has produced changes in the demands of modern-day society (e.g., most jobs will require advanced digital skills in the short term). In addition, nowadays, new active methodologies using emerging technologies are being put into practice. However, little research has been conducted with pre-service teachers, particularly in the teaching of history. This quantitative study analysed the impact of the implementation of a mixed methodology using inquiry-based learning and a student response system (SRS) for the formative assessment of the academic achievement of 240 prospective primary teachers of history. The application of this mixed methodology shows better academic results than traditional lecture-based teaching. In addition, students’ scores achieved through use of the SRS predicted the scores of male students in the final exam; however, this was not in the case for females. Implications for practice or policy: The introduction of information and communication technology into history teaching brings active learning environments in higher education. Pre-service teachers can improve their knowledge of history through the implementation of inquiry-based learning methodology and SRSs. Our results indicate that an SRS can be an effective tool for teachers to carry out students' formative assessment. Teachers can effectively use SRS scores to predict male students' performance in history, but not female performance.

There is no doubt that modern life is dominated by technology. Although it has been rightly said that what is wrong with education cannot be fixed with technology, there is a universal recognition of the need to use Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education as we enter the era of globalization where the free flow of information via satellite and the internet hold sway in the dissemination of knowledge and information. Already, Nigeria is on the wrong side of the international digital divide, as it has not made significant effort to integrate ICT into secondary school curriculum. A great deal of instructional and administrative work in secondary school in Nigeria is still carried out manually. This paper, therefore, examines the major obstacles militating against the use of ICT in secondary education in Nigeria. It identifies the high cost of computer hardware and software, weak infrastructure, lack of human skills and knowledge in ICT, and lack of relevant software appropriate and culturally suitable to Nigeria as the major stumbling block of the adoption of ICT in secondary education in Nigeria. Also, secondary schools in Nigeria are not given adequate funds to provide furniture, relevant textbooks and adequate classroom let alone being given adequate fund for high-tech equipment. At present the cost of subscribing to the Internet is too high for many of the impoverished secondary schools in Nigeria. Nigeria needs ICT to aid teaching, learning and educational management. ICT is an instrument for economic and technological development in the 21st century. Therefore, Nigeria cannot afford to be on the wrong side of the digital divide.

This study explores the usefulness of e-learning in teaching in secondary institutions. The topic of using new information and communication technology for teaching and learning is very relevant in secondary education institutions. Henceforth, Students can manage the most recent Technologies better. In addition, the School must play an important role to give instructional classes to the teacher to build up their aptitudes on the utilization of present-day advancements and to encourage downloading E-educational module from the service's site. However, still there are deterrents with the application: First, right off the bat the substance of the educational programs is not perfect with E-learning. Second, shortcoming of the mechanical framework important for the foundation of the E-learning framework in general optional school. Third, low attention to understudies and educators about the significance of E-learning and absence of sufficient capability for chiefs and instructors where instructors experience issues in tolerating this kind of Education.
