ABSTRACT

This research was focused on the effect of using information communication technology (ICT) in the teaching and learning of integrated science in College of Education Ekiadolor Benin, Edo State. Consequently a questionnaire was designed and administered to respondents.The studies consist of five chapters, chapter one was on the background of the study. However the significant of the study was highlighted in addition to the problem encountered by the researcher in the course of investigation.Chapter two focused on the review of related literature, chapter three was on methodology area considered under this section are population, sampling procedure, validity and reliability of questionnaire, administration of questionnaire and method of data analysis.Chapter four was denoted to data analysis in fact the researcher adopted the use of frequency and percentage to analyze data collection by means of questionnaire.On the final note was chapter five which was denoted to summary, conclusion and recommendation.

CHAPTER ONE

BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

The world today is undergoing a very rapid in information communication technology (ICT) and teaching and learning is not left out, since the turn of the century, emphasis has shifted from the literary arts to the development of science and technology. Therefore, all the problems are facing the students, education in the world today, especially, that of the implication surrounding using information communication technology (ICT) in the teaching and learning of integrated science in Nigeria Education system and College of Education, Ekiadolor Benin in particular is the most crucial one.   

All over the world, the implication of using information communication technology (ICT) in the teaching and learning of integrated science has negative signals in the educational system because most of integrated science students are not computer literate, this will automatically affect them in the teaching and learning of integrated science.

Integrated science is a valuable course that needs to asses students interest in educational system and integrating approach to earth space science this science course is a hand and class, which have many labs and involves precision and accuracy. It is extremely important that the ministry of education should properly investigate those implication of using information communication technology (ICT)  in the teaching and learning of integrated science in the higher institution, mostly College of Education Ekiadolor Benin.

Understanding the implication of using information communication technology (ICT) in the teaching and learning integrated science will help to improve our educational standard. In most developing countries like Ghana, South Africa etc. the problems of poor performance of students in integrated science is very acute and this problem retards the educational growth and economy of these nations.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEMS

This study intends to highlights the need and identification of the problems in the implication of using information communication technology (ICT)  in the teaching and learning of integrated science in College of Education Ekiadolor Benin, some of these implication are outlined.

In most cases, the students do not have good electronic learning materials (science soft ware, mini science laboratory etc.) which would boost their interest in studying integrated science and guide them in their studies more so there is also the implication if inexperienced and unqualified integrated science teachers that could help the interest of the students. This implication as stated in here, should be considered seriously because the ability of the tutor to express himself will further encourage the students to work harder.

PURPOSE OF STUDY 

The purpose of the study is aimed at the following:

1.  To find out the degree of the implication on using information communication technology (ICT) in the teaching and learning of integrated science.

2.  To find out the implication of using information communication technology (ICT) in the teaching and learning of integrated science and way of creating a long lasting solution to the problems.

3.  To find out the attitude of students toward their academic performance.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

The significance of this study can only be clearly understood when the purpose for the study and its concern is taken into due consideration the significance of the study is however basically to correct the implication, effects and resultant of poor performance of students due to lack of interest in integrated science. Also this research is being carried out for the purpose of understanding the relevance of assessment of student’s interest inintegrated science.

Moreover, this study would bring into limelight the fact that our teachers are agent of knowledge impartation; therefore the emphasis must also include the attitude of teachers towards their students.

RESEARCH QUESTION

One of the controversial aspects of using information communication technology (ICT) in the teaching and learning of integrated science revolves round the issue of values in certainty, the implication of using information communication technology (ICT) is highly valuable. To avoid the controversy over which value to incorporate into using information communication technology (ICT) in the teaching and learning of integrated science some schools have opted for a value mental approach, such programmes have little or no impact on modifying students activities some of the research questions are as follows:

1.  Does College of Education, Ekiadolor-Benin, have the necessary science materials that will aid the teaching and learning of integrated science?

2.  Is the using information communication technology (ICT) in the teaching and learning of integrated science in College of Education Ekiadolor-Benin?

3.  Is there a goop rapport between the students and the integrated science teacher?

4.  Do think using information communication technology (ICT) in the teaching and learning of integrated science should not be introduced in school at all?

5.  Can using information communication technology (ICT) in the teaching and learning of integrated science be used to correct problems of exams malpractices?

SCOPE OF THE STUDY

For the purpose of this study, College of Education Ekiadolor-Benin has been chosen in Ovia North East Local Government Area of Edo State. It is especially concerned with the implication of using information communication technology (ICT) in the teaching and learning of integrated science.

This study also involves the lecturers in the selected Colleges, i.e. College of Education Ekiadolor-Benin, Ovia North East Local Government Area of Edo State.
