Abstract

The purpose of present research was establishing influence of Integrating Information Communication Technology (ICT) on performance in chemistry among public schools. The results showed a moderate significant positive correlation (at a confidence level of. 05 where p=. 05): r=. 518, p=. 033 in 2017,(p<. 05, df= 1) between available ICT resources and software in teaching and learning and performance. Results further indicated a moderate positive correlation r=. 560, p=. 019 in 2017, between e-revision papers and performance; e-topical questions had a moderate positive correlation coefficient (p=. 05): r=. 610, P=. 009 and r=. 574, p=. 016 respectively for the year of analysis; Internet access in schools correlated moderately r=. 659, P=. 004 in 2017. Regression analysis r2=. 545 meant 54.4%,(p=. 001, df= 1) of variation in mean grade could be explained by variation in use of Internet. It was concluded that ICT when well utilized has positive influence on education.
