ABSTRACT
The objective of this study was to assess the availability and utilization of ICT resources in teaching of social studies. The descriptive research design was adopted for the study. A census technique was used for the fifty social studies teachers in Awutu Senya district. The study is underpinned by Bates Action model. The questionnaire was used to gather the requisite data for the study. The data were analysed through the computation of descriptive and inferential statistics such as frequencies, percentages, mean of mean distributions and independent sample t-test. The study among other things found out that ICT resources are available for teaching and learning social studies in the public senior high schools. Also, the study revealed that social studies teachers use ICT resources in teaching the subject. Again, the study showed that social studies teachers have positive perception towards the use of ICT facilities in the teaching of social studies. Based on the numerous benefits of the use of ICT resources to both teachers and students, it is recommended that barriers that hinder the integration of ICT resources in teaching should be tackled by policy implementers. In this regard, as teachers who are unwilling to change from the traditional methods of teaching to using information and communication technologies, they should be encouraged by policy makers and sensitized from time to time to understand the good side of technology.
