Abstract
This study examines biology teachers’ willingness to integrate Information and Communication
Technology (ICT) into their instructional practices, identifying key barriers and enablers to
adoption in secondary schools. A descriptive survey design was employed, with data collected
from thirty (30) biology teachers across schools, using a Likert-scale questionnaire. Findings revealed strong teacher willingness, with high enthusiasm for ICT tools and peer
advocacy. However, systemic challenges particularly unstable electricity, inadequate school
infrastructure, and insufficient training significantly hindered implementation. Teachers
proposed actionable solutions, including regular subject-specific training, dedicated technical
support teams, and biology-focused ICT tools. The study concludes that while biology teachers are predisposed to adopt ICT, transformative
integration requires targeted interventions addressing infrastructure deficits, professional
development, and curricular flexibility. These findings contribute to the Technology Acceptance
Model (TAM) by contextualizing its constructs within resource-constrained educational settings. Recommendations are provided for policymakers, school administrators, and teacher training
programs to bridge the gap between willingness and effective ICT adoption.

Abstract
This project analyzed the strategies for effective teaching of computer
science in secondary schools in Ovia North East Local Government Area of
Edo State. To carry out this study the following research question were
formulated they are: what are the strategies that enhance the teaching of
Computer studies in secondary schools? What are the problems that
hinder the effective teaching of computer studies in secondary schools?
Does the teaching method used in teaching computer science have an
effect on students learning outcome? How effective is the use of computer
on the teaching and learning of computer science in secondary schools? In
order to ascertain whether the research questions would be accepted or
rejected questionnaire were used to collect data from hundred teachers in
Ovia north-east local Government area of Edo state. Some of the results of this study include that it is evident that teaching
with the aid of instructional material is one of the strategy that influence the
learning and academic performance of student positively. The finding of this
research also showed that the adequate teaching methods of computer
studies cannot be underestimated. Based on careful examination of the analysts and data given in this
study Government should build and establish new facilities for experiment
in Junior Secondary Schools to help facilitate their knowledge, understanding and interest in computer science and Teachers should adopt
the methods of improvisation and use teaching aid during lessons in science
as this would build students imagination and broaden their literacy in computer science
