Investigation On Biology Teachers’ State Of Readiness For Integrating ICT In Teaching And Learning
Abstract
This study was carried out to investigate biology teachers’ state of readiness for integrating ICT in teaching and learning. Specifically, the study aims to determine the level of biology teachers’ awareness of integrating ICT on learning among students, ascertain the level biology teachers’ knowledge of integrating ICT on their teaching among students, establish whether biology teachers’ competence for integrating ICT is dependent on their teaching experience among students and ascertain if gender difference in biology teachers’ state of readiness for integrating ICT in learning and teaching. The study employed the survey descriptive research design. A total of 200 responses were validated from the survey. From the responses obtained and analyzed, the findings revealed that the level of biology teachers’ awareness of integrating ICT on learning among students is high. The findings of the study also revealed that the level biology teachers’ knowledge of integrating ICT on their teaching among students is high. The findings of the study further revealed that biology teachers’ competence for integrating ICT is dependent on their teaching experience among students. Finally, the study revealed that there is a gender difference in biology teachers’ state of readiness for integrating ICT in learning and teaching. The study thereby recommend that More enlightenment and campaigns should be organized by Ministry of education and Non -governmental organizations for secondary school teachers on the importance of the use of ICT in teaching and learning. Moreover, seminars and media can play an important role in making teachers and students aware of the immense contribution of ICT to teaching and learning. School administrators should play a primary role in promoting awareness of importance of the use of ICT in teaching and learning. They can promote such awareness by ensuring that teachers teacher with the aid ICT at all times and make the ICT resources available. Ministry of education should ensure that close monitoring is given to teachers’ performance on the effective use of these ICT materials in classrooms. Federal and State Government, the Ministry of Education and policy makers Should come up policies that would ensure that schools make use of ICT in classroom teaching.
