Abstract: Electronic training and development is the conscious efforts to influence, training, and development of teachers using electronic media to improve and increase their knowledge, skills, and abilities to perform their scheduled roles effectively in the school system. The design of the study is an expost-facto design using the correlational descriptive survey method. The population comprised 15356 from which 659 principals and teachers were sampled using the stratified random sampling technique. Two selfconstructed/developed questionnaires and a checklist were used. The first is tagged “Questionnaire on Principals’ use of E-Training and Development as Administrative Task for Secondary Schools Teachers’ Job Performance” (QPEPFDPSP). The checklist was on forms of available information resources in schools while the second was a “questionnaire on teachers' work performance scale”. The questionnaire was based on the adapted four (4) points scoring scale of strongly agree; = 4 points, agree = 3 points; disagree = 2 points and strongly disagree = 1 point. The 2 questionnaires were subjected to a validity test while the reliability test was done using the Pearson Product Moment Correlation ‘r’ and the coefficient ‘r’ of 0.85 was obtained. To guide the study, four research questions were raised and one hypothesis was formulated and tested at a 0.05 level of significance. The findings among others include: The findings indicated that principals and teachers have not embraced the utilization of electronic resources in administration, and teaching and that the important ICT resources (hardware and software) were not available. Also, there is a significant relationship between the use of electronic training and development by secondary school principals and teachers' job performance. Therefore this paper recommended that: Principals as school administrators have to be disposed to make sure they continuously sponsor and or involve their teachers in continuous e-training and development. Secondary school administration/principals and teachers should be made to undergo courses on the use of electronic resources in administration and in teaching. Consequently, school proprietors, government, and individuals should assist schools to make available some basic electronic/computer hard and soft wares for school.
