The purpose of this study was to investigate the attitudes of SHS two chemistry students of
Salaga Senior High School towards ICT integration in their teaching and learning. The study
attempted to establish the ICT infrastructure available in schools to enable them integrate
ICT in teaching and learning and the perceptions of school managers in integrating ICT in
teaching and learning in the school. For this study, an exploratory approach, using descriptive
survey design was used. The study was carried out in East Gonja Municipal of the Northern
Region. The study targeted a population of two hundred students in Salaga Senior High
School. The researcher used purposive sampling to select subjects for the survey. As such,
only chemistry students in the second year were considered in the school. The instruments
used in the survey were questionnaires for subject teachers, Assistant Headmasters, and
students. An interview schedule for ICT coordinators was also used. Collected data was then
analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, where frequencies, percentages, means
and average means were the main techniques. Major findings were that majority of the
chemistry students in Salaga Senior High School possessed generally high attitudinal
acceptability level towards ICT integration in their learning and a very few of the students
displaying indifference towards ICT use. Infrastructure remains a major hurdle to effective
ICT integration in teaching and learning as the school lacks essential infrastructure to support
ICT integration. Finally, school managers are positive about the impact of ICT in the teaching
and learning of chemistry in spite of the numerous infrastructural challenges. Based on the
findings, the researcher proposed that the infrastructural inadequacies should be addressed
by the school in collaboration with the Municipal Education Directorate and the Municipal
Assembly and also attend to the training needs of teachers in ICT integration. |
