ABSTRACT The main objective of this study was to assess availability and utilization of ICT facilities in teaching of social studies in the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis. The descriptive research design was adopted for the study. A census technique was used for the 100 social studies teachers. 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 facilities are available for teaching and learning social studies in the public senior high schools of SekondiTakoradi. Also, the study revealed that social studies teachers in the SekondiTakoradi public senior high schools use ICT facilities in teaching the subject. Again, the study showed that social studies teacher has positive perception towards the use of ICT facilities in the teaching of social studies. The study recommended that based on the population of the schools, the schools should find ways of increasing the number of ICT facilities. This would enable the teachers and students to increase the number of days and hours spent using the ICT facilities. With the numerous benefits of the use of ICT facilities to both teachers and students, it is recommended that teachers continue to use ICT facilities during instructional periods. Follow-up support should be provided by the Ghana Education Service in the schools. This must include in-service education and training on the use of ICT for the teachers in the school and discussion of the implications of the use of ICT in teaching and learning.
