Abstract
ICT is becoming an inevitable tool in education nowadays. For any academic activities to be effective, the use of ICT is imperative. There are also a lot of benefits and improvement that ICT has brought to the field of education. These benefits and development cut across all spheres of education, such as the aspect of content, instruction and evaluation. In area of evaluation, the cognitive and psychomotor aspects of evaluation are mostly developed, based on the fact that both can be easily accessed through ICT. However, in the aspect of affective domain, the level of assessment is low and not absolutely reliable because it deals with the feelings, interest and values that learner attached to the subject matter. Hence, this study aimed at finding an effective way that ICT can be used to assess students’ affective domain in the process of evaluation. In order to get in-depth understanding of the subject matter, the study employs qualitative design by using semi-structured interview to elicit information from specialists in the field of communication technology. Findings from the study indicate that the use of ICT to evaluate student affective domain requires an illustrious, diligent, and enthusiastic ICT literate teacher. Equally, there is a need to develop software that will focus more on the evaluation of students’ affective domain. Meanwhile, this area that will develop students’ soft skills is greatly needed to produce good citizens, employees, and government of their individual community.

It is noted from the discussion that it is very important for all students to be ICT literate, so that most students can keep up with the current trend in the world, thereby meeting the current challenges
Summary
The modern trend throughout the world has brought about changes in many areas of specialization. One of the major features of these changes is the emergence of information communication technology (ICT), which has assumed great position in every field of specialization. ICT is very paramount to the extent that some disciplines cannot do without it. This is based on the premise that ICT brings about change, which is one of the necessities of every discipline. No area of specialization wishes to be backward, everyone explores ICT. It should be noted that, the present world cannot survive unless with the aid of ICT. For man to survive in the modern age depends largely on access to national and worldwide information networks.
