Abstract
This study examines the role of technology integration in enhancing students’ academic performance in Biology in public secondary schools in Egor Local Government Area of Edo State. A descriptive survey research design was adopted, and data were collected through questionnaires from one hundred (100) students and twenty-five (25) teachers across five selected public schools in Egor Local Government Area of Edo State. The study was guided by five research questions. Data were analyzed using frequency counts, percentages, and mean scores, and the reliability of the instrument stood at 0.82 for students and 0.79 for teachers. The study revealed that the use of technology helps students understand Biology concepts better and improves their performance in examinations. It also showed that technology makes Biology lessons more interactive and engaging for learners. However, the availability of technological resources such as computers and projectors was found to be very low, and challenges like poor electricity and lack of internet access hinder effective integration. It was recommended that schools should invest more in modern technology tools and infrastructure, and provide regular training for teachers to enhance the use of technology in Biology instruction.
