Abstract
ABSTRACT
Qualitative education is a correlate of technological development in many countries. The trend of
scholastic studies in technological integration in classrooms have reported better performance from
students taught using technology. Integration is mostly done by teachers with a view to improve
students’ performance, hence, this study investigated technology integration by senior school science
and mathematics teachers in Ilorin, Nigeria. Forty-two female and seventy-three male teachers were
sampled. Teachers’ Technology Integration Assessment (TTIA) questionnaire elicited data to answer
four research questions generated in this study. Descriptive statistics of frequency, percentage and
charts were employed. Thirty one percent of teachers’ use technology in their classroom against 69%
who do not. Twenty-three percentage indicated weekly, 32% monthly and 45% occasionally integrated
technology in their classrooms. Also, less experienced teachers integrated technology most among
experienced, moderately experienced and less experienced teachers. Male teachers integrated
technology more than the female teachers in this study.
