Abstract
The study investigated the Awareness and Utilization of Web 2.0 Technologies in Teaching
Business Education Courses in Universities in North Central, Nigeria. The study was carried
out with two purposes, among which are to examine the benefits of utilizing Web 2.0
technologies for teaching business education courses in universities and to determine the
barriers of utilizing Web 2.0 technologies in business education courses in universities. The
study has two research questions and two hypotheses. The population of the study was 88
business education lecturers, and no sample was conducted as a result of the small size of the
population. The study adopted a survey research design. The instrument used for data
collecting was a structured questionnaire tagged, Awareness and Utilization of Web 2.0
Technologies in Teaching Questionnaire (AUWTTQ) with a modified 4-point rating scale.
The reliability coefficient of the instrument was determined using the Cronbach Alpha
technique which revealed a reliability index of 0.86. The data collected was analyzed using
mean statistics standard deviation and independent sample t-test. The finding revealed that
there is no significant difference in the mean response scores of respondents on the benefits
of utilizing Web 2.0 technologies in teaching business education courses in universities based
on years of experience. And there is no significant difference between the mean response
scores of male and female respondents on the barriers to utilizing Web 2.0 technologies in
teaching business education courses in universities. The study concludes that lecturers are
aware of Web 2.0 technologies and these technologies are utilized in teaching business
education courses. It was recommended among others that, the benefits of Web 2.0
technologies should be promoted by the curriculum developers, universities, stakeholders,
and lecturers to promote the use of technologies in teaching.
