An Investigation into the Challenges Experienced by Teachers in the use of Information and
Communication Technologies in Biology Teaching and Learning: A Case study for Muzondidya Cluster Schools in Zaka District
Abstract
The integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools in biology education is crucial for enhancing teaching and learning experiences. However, various challenges can thwart the effective adoption of ICT tools among teachers, learners, and parents. This study investigated the challenges faced by teachers, learners, and parents in using ICT
tools in biology education. The findings exposed that teacher struggled with limited technical expertise, inadequate infrastructure, and difficulty in integrating ICT into the curriculum.Learners faced distractions, decreased attention span, and limited opportunities for hands-on experimentation. Parents tussled with limited understanding of ICT tools, concerns about physical and mental health, and difficulty in monitoring their child's ICT use. The study
highlights the need for teacher training, infrastructure development, and parental engagement to overcome these challenges and exploit the potential of ICT tools in education especially biology
