The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) has fundamentally restructured educational environments, positioning Information and Communication Technology (ICT) as a core driver of knowledge acquisition in higher education. Grounded in Self-Determination Theory (SDT), which foregrounds autonomy, competence, and relatedness as motivational determinants of technology engagement, this study examines the level of ICT engagement, primary methods and sources of knowledge acquisition, and the effect of ICT engagement on learning outcomes among undergraduates at Lagos State University College of Medicine. A quantitative survey was administered to 509 undergraduates and analyzed using descriptive statistics in SPSS version 26. Findings reveal high ICT engagement: 94.1% actively used digital devices for academic work, and 89.2% reported confidence in ICT use, consistent with SDT's competence and autonomy dimensions. Lecture notes, educational websites, and digital databases dominated knowledge acquisition; however, print textbooks remained relevant, reflecting a hybrid rather than a fully digital learning orientation. A decline in library use signals a broader shift toward self-directed, digital information-seeking. Over 93% of the respondents agreed that ICT tools enhance content comprehension, extend learning beyond the classroom, and foster critical thinking. These findings have direct implications for digital pedagogy in medical education: institutional strategies should move beyond infrastructure provision to cultivate digital literacy, support self-regulated learning, and redesign curricula that leverage the coexistence of traditional and digital resources within the 4IR context.
