ABSTRACT
This project work investigated the profound significance of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the realm of teaching and learning chemistry at the senior secondary school level. In an era marked by rapid technological advancements, ICT has emerged as a potent tool for transforming the landscape of education, particularly in the teaching and learning of science subjects such as chemistry. The research employs a comprehensive approach to assess the impact of ICT integration on chemistry education. To collect data and insights, a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods is utilized. A well-structured questionnaire is administered to a sample of 100 SS2 students in Egor Local Government Area, Edo State. Data analysis was carried out employing a simple percentage method. Preliminary findings indicate that ICT plays a pivotal role in making the teaching and learning of chemistry more engaging, interactive, and comprehensible. Students' understanding of complex chemistry concepts is significantly enhanced when ICT tools are effectively employed. Moreover, the research brings to light the challenges students encounter when utilizing ICT resources, including issues related to resource shortages and power supply inconsistencies. In light of these findings, it is strongly recommended that educational authorities prioritize investments in ICT infrastructure within educational institutions. Encouraging collaborations among schools, government agencies, and private sector organizations is vital to support ICT initiatives in the field of Chemistry education. Additionally, it is advisable to integrate digital literacy and critical thinking skills into the Chemistry curriculum. Lastly, the government should establish and promote continuous professional development programs for Chemistry educators, with a specific focus on enhancing teachers' digital literacy and competence in the effective utilization of ICT tools within their teaching methodologies.
