Chapter Highlights

This study aimed at exploring the extent to which Rwandan secondary school Biology teachers integrate computer and other ICT technologies into teaching and learning process as well as the challenges they face as far as the use of ICT in teaching and learning biology is concerned.
The descriptive research was used in this study, where 54 secondary school biology teachers were purposively selected from two district of Eastern province of Rwanda.
Data were collected using questionnaires, interview schedule and observation protocol.
The results showed that the majority of the asked biology teachers use computers and other ICT tools less frequently in their professional duties with strong emphasis on using computers for reading e-Books or downloading audio-visual materials from internet, though some of them use computers to prepare study materials such class notes.
Photosynthesis was found to be the most topic taught by using computer where the resources used are simulation videos downloaded from internet, with the purpose to show students how things works.
Though the biology teachers’ attitude and self-efficacy towards the use of computer were positive, their major concern remains the lack of time to prepare computer based educational materials.
All the teachers asked said that training about computers is necessary specifically on how to teach using computers, therefore there is need to consider such factors as far as the proper integration of ICT technologies into teaching and learning processes.
