Perceptions of Undergraduate Science Students: A study on Role of ICT in Quality Science Teaching-Learning

Abstract

This study examines undergraduate science students perceive the impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on improving science education. It focuses on three key aspects: curriculum design and development, the teaching and learning process, and research innovation and extension activities. The study explores the integration and impact of ICT on these educational aspects. A descriptive survey design was employed, collecting data from 40 B.Sc. students at Jamia Millia Islamia through a structured questionnaire. The findings reveal that while ICT is widely recognized for its potential to enhance content delivery and align with learning objectives, there are areas, such as personalized learning and the use of digital labs, where its integration remains inconsistent. The study also highlights the importance of ICT in fostering transparency, equity, and collaborative learning. However, the varying levels of student engagement indicate a need for improved access, awareness, and training to fully optimize ICT's benefits in science education in connecting theoretical knowledge with real-world applications. The findings have implications for teachers, policymakers, and researchers seeking to use the potential of ICT in science education.
