Availability and Utilization of (ICT) in Teaching and Learning of Biology in F.G Secondary Schools in Islamabad

Abstract

This study looks at the use and accessibility of digital learning resources for biology instruction in F.G. Secondary schools in Islamabad. The study's compass consisted of three research questions and one hypothesis. For this study, a descriptive survey design was adopted. The tools used to gather data were a questionnaire and a checklist.The availability of digital communication tools in public schools was determined using the checklist. The availability and use of ICT in biology teaching and learning was the subject of a structured questionnaire. Using Cronbach alpha, the reliability coefficients for teachers and students were found to be 0.69 and 0.65, respectively. In order to answer the study questions, the data were examined using frequency counts, percentages, means, and standard deviations. The Z-test was then used to evaluate the hypothesis. The study's conclusions showed that F.G. Secondary schools in Islamabad have little instructional technology resources.  The use of digital technology by instructors and students in biology instruction was minimal in senior F.G. Secondary schools located in Islamabad. When it comes to teaching and studying biology, there is no discernible difference in how teachers and students use digital knowledge resources. It was suggested that non-governmental organizations, governments, cooperative bodies, multinational cooperation, and individuals make sure that both private and public secondary schools have functional, up-to-date facilities; this will enhance the Caliber of Biology instruction and learning in F.G. Secondary schools & colleges in Islamabad.
