Abstract

The current study assessed the impact of Information Technology (IT) on teaching and learning in some Nigerian secondary schools based on students’ perception. The Awka Education Zone of Anambra State was the geographical area of coverage. The objective of the research was to assess students’ perception of the impact of IT in teaching and learning in secondary schools. A sample size of 600 respondents was used. A 15 item structured questionnaire developed within the study was used for data collection. Three research questions were posed and two hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The study showed that students performed better when exposed to IT methods in teaching and learning than when exposed to traditional methods. The z-test analysis showed that there was significant difference in mean interest of male students and female students towards IT integration in teaching and learning. A significant difference was equally observed in the mean perception of junior and senior students toward IT integration in teaching and learning.
