Abstract
This study examines A Comparative Assessment of the Use of "ICT" in Teaching Biology in Some Selected Secondary Schools in Mushin Local Government Area of Lagos State. It investigates the use, importance and significance of ICT in teaching Biology in secondary schools in Mushin LGA of Lagos. The purpose of this research was to determine students performance in Biology within a non-ICT equipped secondary school system; to determine students performance in biology within an ICT equipped secondary school system; to account for the disparity in students performance within the two contexts of secondary schools if there is any and indicate the serious need for a comprehensive ICT-aided teaching of Biology in secondary schools in Nigeria. Two questions were stated for this study, the research design was comparative research method in nature. The work generated three research questions and three hypothesis. Quasi-experimental research design was adopted using experimental and control groups and also pretest-posttest. Purposive sampling technique was used to select 50 sample population as respondents who were drawn from two secondary schools both in Mushin. The study collected data through Biology Achievement Test (BAT) and ICT assessment scale from the two groups (experimental and control). The instrument used for data collection was validated by three experts from the field of Measurement and Evaluation, Biology Education and Educational Technology with reliability index of 0.85. The mean, standard deviation and t-test were used to analysed the data collected. Result shows that the mean scores of the experimental group improved in the posttest in comparison to the pretest. There was no significant difference based on gender in the students’ academic performance. The result also revealed that there was low usage of ICT for teaching of Biology in the study area. From the findings of the study, the researchers are of the opinion that students regardless of gender should be given equal opportunity in science and technology without fear or favour. It could also be emphatically deduced that the use of ICT in teaching will improve students’ academic performance. The work also identified some of the challenges militating against the effective integration of ICT in teaching and learning. The researchers conclude by making some recommendations on how to reduce if not eliminate the challenges identified as militating against the use of ICT in teaching and learning process.
