Abstract

The study investigated the effect of ICT based instructions on students’ attitude towards Biology in selected secondary schools in Ikenne Loca Government Area of Ogun State. The study adopted a pre-test, post- test, control group, quasi experimental design using a sample of 240 (126 male and 114 female) SS. Two Biology students from 4 senior secondary schools, two from rural and two from urban, randomly selected from Ikenne Local Government Area of Ogun State. Five validated instruments were used (SAS, BICT, TIGBICT, TIGBCI and ESAT). Two null hypotheses were generated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. Mean, Standard deviation and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) were used to analyze the data collected using the pre-test scores as covariates. Also, multiple classification analysis was employed to show the magnitude of various groups. The result indicated significant difference between students exposed to ICT software presentation and control group. Appropriate recommendations were also highlighted for the use of lCT based instructions.
