Students' Perception on Web-Based Technology in Teaching Biology in College of Education
Asare, Isaac; Parker, Joseph
Science Education International, v33 n2 p242-250 2022
The perception of students in six (6) Southern Colleges of Education in Ghana on the use of web-based technology software for teaching and learning of biology was studied using 120 students. A questionnaire was used to collect data from the students on the perception they have about the use of web-based technology. The data from the questionnaire were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings revealed that the use of web-based technology instructional approach during lessons delivery and accessing the internet to search for information during instructional hours provided opportunities for students to access internet information at their own pace. It also came to light that the use of web-based instruction improved students' understanding in biology concepts, stimulated students' interest and thinking, and was not a waste of instructional time. The study revealed that students could use web-based software without any difficulties, the use of web-based instruction was not boring, the use of web-based instructions individualized learning and finally, the use of web-based technology for biology instruction was not time-consuming. Therefore, science tutors especially biology tutors should use web-based technology software for teaching and learning of biology concepts to make learning meaningful to students.
