Stimulants and Simulation: The Complementary Role of ICT For Effective Instruction in Arts Subjects in Nigeria

Abstract

The primary responsibility of the teacher is to ensure effective delivery of the goals of instruction. He is thus at liberty to adopt any style of instruction to achieve his targeted objective. Arts subjects like history, religion, English language, literature, etc. have suffered instructional poverty due to the continuous use of the traditional didactic method (lecturing discussion, story-telling, etc.) with little or no practicability. Simulation method of teaching offers new insights to the teaching and learning of these seemingly abstract subjects especially with the integration of ICT.
