Information Communication Technology (ICT) as Correlates of Creative Ability in Mathematics among Senior Secondary School Students: Implications for Educational Management

The incorporation of information communication technology into the teaching and learning of mathematics has far-reaching implications for the creative ability of students and educational management, especially among school managers. The study was designed to investigate and ascertain the relationship between ICT and students’ creative abilities as it affects educational management. About 300 senior secondary school students participated in the study. The descriptive survey design was adopted for this research. The results revealed that effective use of various technologies, particularly computers, in the teaching and learning of mathematics has the potential to assist students in developing their creativity. It was further found that ICT and its tools have positive implications for the functions of educational managers in secondary schools and other levels of education. If used properly, computational aids can aid the improvement of learners' intellectual ability and hence mathematical accomplishment, while also promoting the necessary creativity that is lacking in the traditional approach. Relevant recommendations were offered.
