Abstract

This study determined the Biology teachers’ access to the use of virtual laboratory in Secondary schools in Minna, Niger State. The study adopted descriptive research of the survey type. The population for the study consisted all secondary school Biology teachers in Minna, Niger State. 300 Biology teachers were purposively selected based on the available Biology teachers in Zone B senatorial district in Niger State. The instrument for data collection was an adapted questionnaire. Descriptive and Inferential statistics were used to answer the research question and test the stated hypotheses with the aid of stastistical product and service solution (SPSS) version 20.0 at 0.05 level of significant . The findings indicated 60.1 % of the biology teachers had access to virtual Laboratory and there is no significant difference in teachers’ access to virtual laboratory for teaching biology based on gender and school type.

The study concluded that activities that would require the use of ICT-based resources in secondary school should be given to both male and female since the findings of this study revealed that there was no significant difference between male and female teachers. The study recommends that since ICT resources relies heavily on power supply, provision of solar power supply would facilitate constant supply of electricity for maximum utilization of ICT based resources and facilities for teaching Biology.

Abstract [Persian]

این مطالعه دسترسی معلمان زیست شناسی به استفاده از آزمایشگاه مجازی در مدارس متوسطه در Minna، ایالت نیجر را تعیین کرد. این پژوهش از نوع تحقیقات توصیفی از نوع پیمایشی بود. جامعه مورد مطالعه شامل کلیه معلمان زیست شناسی دبیرستان در مینا، ایالت نیجر بود. 300 معلم زیست شناسی به طور هدفمند بر اساس معلمان زیست شناسی موجود در ناحیه سناتوری منطقه B در ایالت نیجر انتخاب شدند. ابزار گردآوری داده ها پرسشنامه اقتباسی بود. از آمار توصیفی و استنباطی برای پاسخ به سوال تحقیق و آزمون فرضیه های بیان شده با کمک راه حل آماری محصول و خدمات (SPSS) نسخه 20.0 در سطح 0.05 معنی دار استفاده شد. یافته ها حاکی از آن است که 1/60 درصد از معلمان زیست شناسی به آزمایشگاه مجازی دسترسی داشته اند و تفاوت معناداری در دسترسی معلمان به آزمایشگاه مجازی آموزش زیست شناسی بر اساس جنسیت و نوع مدرسه وجود ندارد. این مطالعه به این نتیجه رسید که فعالیت هایی که مستلزم استفاده از منابع مبتنی بر فناوری اطلاعات و ارتباطات در دوره متوسطه است باید به هر دو مرد و زن داده شود زیرا یافته های این مطالعه نشان داد که تفاوت معنی داری بین معلمان مرد و زن وجود ندارد. این مطالعه توصیه می کند که از آنجایی که منابع ICT به شدت به منبع تغذیه متکی است، ارائه منبع تغذیه خورشیدی تامین برق ثابت را برای حداکثر استفاده از منابع مبتنی بر فناوری اطلاعات و ارتباطات و امکانات برای آموزش زیست شناسی تسهیل می کند.
