Application of ICT on the Discussion Method of Teaching and Learning History in Nigerian Tertiary Institutions

Abstract

This article explored the discussion method and how ICT could be used to enhance it. The seemingly abstract nature of the history discipline as envisaged by some students sometimes revolves around the method employed by some history teachers to teach the subject. The traditional lecture method often used by some history teachers has further compounded the problem. This write up discussed these difficulties and made recommendations which include provision of ICT tools to history teachers and that the history teacher should also embrace the use of discussion method with the new technology to enhance his/her instruction.
