Abstract
The knowledge of ICT has become a condition sine qua non for attaining satisfactory level of accomplishment especially in technological based education, and this can be attributed to different factors which vary according to individual specialized discipline. It has transformed and impacted on teaching, communication, learning and research in general due to easy access to internet based medium via devices such as laptops, android phones, iPhones, tablets and iPod which are easily affordable. This research thus attempts to evaluate the relevancy of factors that have been found prevalent for the impacts of ICT technology on academic performance of TVET-based students with the aid of Principal Component Analysis. To achieve this objective, survey was carried out using questionnaire instrument that employed five components which include; ‘ICT equipment allows for easy exchange of information’, ‘ICT equipment facilitates smooth interaction with the lecturers’, ‘ICT helps to develop research skills through peer collaboration’, ’ICT facilitate academic activities and coordinate with lecturers’, ‘group discussion arranged with course mates using ICT equipment improves academic performance’. The results revealed that two of the components which are ICT equipment allows for easy exchange of information and ICT equipment facilitate smooth interaction with the lecturers are the most prevalent with cumulative variance of 68.29%. These effects are found to be positive on student’s academic performance with respective eigenvalues of 1.725 and 1.161. Keywords: Cumulative Variance, Eigen Values, ICT, Principal Component Analysis, TVET
