CHAPTER TWO
LITERATURE REVIEW
This stud shows the implication of using information communication technology (ICT) in the teaching and learning of integrated science in College of Education Ekiadolor Benin of Edo State. And if there were statistical significant differences in their performance linked to their gender, grade level, school location, school types, students type and socio economic background (SEB).
Data were collected from the College of Education Ekiadolor Benin, Ovia North East Local Government Area of Edo State by constructed integrated science process skills test. The results indicated that the subject mean scone was low and satisfactory; their performance in decreasing order was interpreting data, recording data, generalizing, formulating hypothesis and identifying variables. They were statistical significant and fairly strong relationship between their performance and school type but weak relationship among their students type, grade level and SEB performance.
With increase, students achievement in integrated science being a national goal. Jackson (2000), do we know that students are learning? Giving the emerging national standard in science education standard committee on science education standard (NCSES), how we will determine, whether students measure are up to the standards. Radical changes are underway for school science curriculum.
Rutherford and Ahgren (1990), the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA), (1992), are complement any changes in using information communication technology (ICT) in the teaching and learning of integrated science in College of Education, Ekiadolor-Benin. Rutherford states that there is more implication on using (ICT) in education system especially integrated science.
Blank and Engler, 1992 Davis and arm strong, 1991, but do me know how to asses the domains of interest and concern? Assessment of student’s performance integrated science emerging as a crucial ingredient in the recipe of ongoing improvement of “school of science” in College of Education national wide. As programmatic change is occurring, there is needs to align students’ assessment practices with curricula aim not instructional practices and performance standards. In short “what we teach must be taught (Iris carts as quoted in mckinney, 1993).
THE IMPLICATION USING INFORMATION COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY (ICT) IN THE TEACHING AND LEARNING OF INTEGRATED SCIENCE
Before considering alternative approach of using information communication technology (ICT) in the teaching and learning of integrated science, it is important on student’s performance to consider the various functions that serves.

METHODOLOGY
This chapter contains the details procedures adopted in this study it also described the various steps adopted in gathering and analyzing data for the study, the method used in collecting data in the study including, surrey about oral interviews

PRESENTATION OF DATA AND DISCUSSION OF RESULTS
This chapter represents the analysis and discussion of data gathered from this study the interpretation will therefore follow a systematic and sequential order data will be organized and presented in order of findings
From paper analysis of data collected percentage is used with the help of table to make the interpretation of the result clear
CHAPTER FIVE
SUMMARY
The research work is based on the using of information communication technology (ICT) in the teaching and learning of integrated science in college of Education Ekiadolor-Benin of Edo State
It investigated the reasons lectures lecturers are involved in using information communication technology (ICT) in the teaching integrated science mostly in college of Education Ekiadolor- Benin of Edo state
Alusa (2004) in a journal published and titled using information communication technology (ICT) in the teaching and learning asserted the due to the divining educational standard low income to made the ever growing human wants teachers supervisors lecture engaged in using information communication technology (ICT) in the teaching and learning of integrated science
Some of the implication of using information communication technology (ICT) in the teaching and learning of integrated science in college of Education Ekiadolor-Benin of Edo state according to respondents include the fail in standard of education and the production of half-baked scholar
Students should be encourage by guardians and lecturers respectively to increase their study habit
Parents/guardians should allow students to make the choice of professional course and support them morally, financially and even spiritually for the students to be successful in their choice of careers
CONCLUSION
The much importance attached to be using of information communication technology (ICT) in the teaching and learning of integrated science in some schools mostly higher institution like college of Education Ekiadolor Benin has improved that technology is the foundation of educational
RECOMMENDATION
- Students should prepare hard for examination so that they can have a form grip of all that was taught them
- They should also involve themselves in more research work using information communication technology (ICT)
- Parent or guardians should be conscious and respect their primary responsibility, which include encouragement, financial and spiritual responsibility
- Lecturer should pursuer their job with more science of commitment and moral responsibility
- Conducive teaching/learning environment with using information communications technology (ICT) in the teaching and learning of integrated science
SUGGESION FOR FURTHER RESEARCH
Psychological factor and environmental factor and intelligence factor of using information communication technology (ICT) in the teaching and learning of integrated science.
