CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Background to the study
The entire world has been metamorphosised
into a global village by Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
Information and Communication Technology Bloomy Garrison (2008) said that
emanation of ICT has accused a lot of development since 1974s, the internet
which is development is also global system of interconnected computer networks
that use the standard internet protocol suite (Teplip) Technology
Communication. Protocol IP internet
protocol to serve billions of users worldwide.
It is a network of local to global scope that are linked by a broad
array of electronic and practical networking technologies.

It is a network of local to global scope that are linked by a broad
array of electronic and practical networking technologies.
This (ICT) Information and
Communication carries a vast array of information resources and services
through the internet since it has been discovered that ICT materials are the
people from English country. French,
German etc. among them are the people from English country, Charles Babbage,
Larray Hindes etc notably the inter linked hyper text documents of the world
wide web and the infrastructure to support electronic mail, the origins of the
ICT especially internet reach to the 1960’s when the United States funded
research projects of its military agencies to build robust fault tolerant and distributed
computer networks. The USSR’s Lunch of sputnik spurred the United States
to create the advanced research Projects Agency known as ARPA.

ICT (Information and Communication
Technology) has been observed by Hastrup (2007) perhaps the greatest
achievement of the 20th and 21st centuries was the
development and application of ICT to all facets of human endeavour. According
to him, no work of sciences has so significantly impacted on the course of
human development as information and communication technology because it had
positively transformed effectively and every aspect of human life such as
accounting, agriculture business, sector, medicine, science etc.

According to Olorundare (2006) there
is no doubt that Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has found its
in teaching integrated science in developed and developing countries Education
policies and such its use and integration has become, widespread in the various
school system.

Laboratory was introduced in many
centuries, years ago since then, it had contributed greatly to the wide
knowledge of the teachers and the students.
centuries, years ago since then, it had contributed greatly to the wide
knowledge of the teachers and the students.
Laboratory is derived from word
“laborate” a Latin word with the meaning labour of work. Also a room or building used for scientific
research experiments, testing etc. in the study of science, laboratory plays an
important role by giving room to memorization from some printed materials but
knowledge as built from experience enhance the growth of the children of
learner inability to problem effectively, develop in children and interest in
and on appreciation for the world in which they like seeing believes and adds

Statement of the Problems
The research focused on the effect of
ICT and laboratory activities on the teaching and learning of integrated
science in junior secondary schools.
ICT and laboratory activities on the teaching and learning of integrated
science in junior secondary schools.
Junior secondary school students have
no expectation in integrated science due to many reason.

It could be that of ICT and due to
laboratory it is one of the reason. One
would like to ask therefore whether lack of ICT and laboratory activities are
considered by both students and teacher to be a major problem confronting
effective teaching and learning of integrated science. Poor awareness of ICT equipment is considered
by both students and teachers to be a problem facing effective teaching and
learning of integrated science in junior secondary school.

Purpose of the study
The main purpose of study is to
investigate the effects of information Communication Technology on Laboratory
Activities among the Junior
Secondary Schools and
Possible measure to be given to improve the effect the effects and encourage
Laboratory activities for the students.

Significance of study
The
result of the study would serves as a bent to promote the effects of ICT and
Laboratory activities among the juniors
Secondary School teachers
and the students could as well serve as a forum of enlightenment to the user of
some of the ICT equipments and development like Internet Computer Program (ICP)
to the students and the teachers.

The
teachers in competence on the basis of computer operation (Keyboard skills
diskette for matting etc.) has gross implications on their inability to use
computer based ICTS, software packages (e.g. self Learning CDS, CD ROMS
statistical/mathematical packages, computer assisted instructional packages,
computer managed instruction (CMI), graphical illustrations conferencing etc. Therefore, the need for computer training of
teacher’s pre – service and in – service cannot be over emphasized.

Information is got raw, real and can
be operated upon. It provides what you
can refer to as direct experience. It
breaks of distance and is capable of audio, visual, audio – visual and other
sensory stimulation. Communication is
the transmission of information from senders to receiver to senders. Communication is an interaction process used
