Received 11th May, 2021; Accepted 1st June, 2021 ABSTRACT: The general objective of this study was to investigate the perceived usefulness of command secondary school teachers towards utilization of electronic media for teaching in Lagos State. The study was a descriptive type using quantitative approach of the survey method. Three hundred (300) teachers were randomly selected from the teachers in command secondary school (CSS) in Lagos. At the end of the survey, 280 teachers adequately responded to the questionnaire and were used for the study. A research question was raised and three hypotheses were tested for this study. Mean scores were used to answer the research question, while t-test was used to test all the 3 hypotheses. The study revealed that: (1) teachers had positive perception on the usefulness of electronic media with a grand mean value of 3.37, (2) there was no significant difference between male and female teachers’ perception on the usefulness of electronic media for teaching; (3) no significant difference between qualified and less qualified teachers in the perception on the usefulness of electronic media for teaching; and (4) no significant difference between experienced and less- experienced teachers in the perception on the usefulness of electronic media for teaching. The study concluded that teachers in CSS have the same perception about the usefulness of ICT in education. The study thus recommended that there is a need for in-house training and periodic orientation on the use of available electronic devices for the teaching and learning in the schools. Learners are to be exposed to available media in other relevant departments to complement the process.
