The present research explored the application of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Science Education at some selected renowned Bangla Medium Schools of Dhaka City Corporation Area, The study revealed that the main obstacles of practicing ICT in Science Education in these schools are insufficient number of science teachers and computers. Besides, lack of skilled lab teachers or trainers is also a constraint for practicing ICT. Albeit, there are multimedia facilities in most of the selected schools but currently only the RAJUK Uttara Model College of Dhaka Metropolitan Area uses this system properly. However, in recent times, only the students of eight renowned schools of the study area can access the E-book (science textbooks) facility system from different government websites but unable to utilize the service properly due to inadequate and slow internet support system.

The relevance of information and communication technology in developing nations of the world like Nigeria cannot be undermined, considering the indispensable role it plays in nations’ development and provision of basic facilities for improvement in standards of living of citizens. In this context, science education lecturers need to be fully equipped with basic skills in information and communication technology. This study therefore, is an attempt to assess Science Education Lecturers’ competency in information and communication technology in Rivers State. Descriptive survey design was adopted and the sample comprised 85 Science Education Lecturers in Rivers State Tertiary Institutions. The instrument was Competency in Information and Communication Technology Questionnaire validated by two Science Education Lecturers. The instruments’ reliability coefficient of 0.76 was determined by test-retest method using Pearson Product Moment Correlation formula. Mean and standard deviation were used for answering research questions while hypotheses were tested using t-test at .05 level of significance. Findings of the study revealed low level of competency of science education lecturers in information and communication technology with regards to use of presentation tools to support on-line instructions, test, assignments, e-mail, face book, internet and cybercafé, analysis of a course work, results computation, course evaluation, word processor for personal and instructional purpose, spreadsheet for personal and instructional purpose, collection and storage of data and decision making. There was no significant difference in male and female lecturers’ level of competency in information and communication technology as well as university and college of education science education lecturers in Rivers State. It was recommended among others that Government should ensure adequate training of science education lectures on the use of information and communication technology facilities and also assist them acquire laptops and software packages.

The Australian Antarctic Division has a long history of providing telecommunications as part of the support provided to expeditioners within the Australian Antarctic Territory. Since the days when Mawson’s expedition in 1911 setup the first transmitter at Commonwealth Bay, the Division has provided continuous and increasingly sophisticated telecommunications capability that now includes data to support medical services, science, education and Internet access. The provision of telecommunications to Antarctica relies on satellite transmission for backhaul.

Ict Tools

The study was to investigate students’ perception of lecturers in utilizing Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools in instructional delivery in science education programme in Akwa Ibom State University. The researchers adopted descriptive survey design for the study. The population of the study which also formed the sample for the study were one hundred and thirty eight year three students of the Science Education Department, Akwa Ibom State University, Ikot Akpaden, Mkpat Enin L. G. A. Two research questions were formulated to guide the study. A questionnaire titled “Students’ Perception of Lecturers Utilization of Information and Communication Technology Tools Questionnaire (SPLUICTTQ) was used for data collection. The researchers personally administered the questionnaire to the students (respondents) and retrieved immediately after completion. The data was analysed using percentages. The results indicated that students’ perception of lecturers’ use of email and computer in instructional delivery is 36.23% and 34.78% higher than all other ICT tools. The result also revealed excellent utilization of internet and email for instructional delivery as shown in the table with 53.52% and 60.80% respectively, while audio tapes and computer were averagely used with 44.20% and 42.28% respectively as ICT tools in instructional delivery. The result showed that 44.26% was the perceived percentage of lecturers not using teleconferencing at all. It was concluded that the recommendations of school net (2006) and that of National Policy on Education on the use of ICT tools in instructional delivery be re-emphasized to encourage lecturers in the Department of Science Education on the use of ICT tools for effective instructional delivery process.

This paper studies whether and how information and communication technology (ICT) changes self-construal and cultural values in a developing country. Ethiopian children were given laptops in the context of an ICT for development scheme. We compared children who used laptops (n = 69) with a control group without laptops (n = 76) and a second control group of children whose laptop had broken down (n = 24). Results confirmed that after 1 year of laptop usage, the children’s self-concept had become more independent and children endorsed individualist values more strongly. Interestingly, the impact of laptop usage on cultural values was mediated by self-construal (moderated mediation). Importantly, modernization did not “crowd out” traditional culture: ICT usage was not associated with a reduction in traditional expressions (interdependent self-construal, collectivist values). Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
