ICT can help science education, studies show Find News
June 2, 2009

Utilising ICT can help teach difficult topics in science education, according to new research.

Becta (formerly the British Educational Communications and Technology Agency) and the Association for Science Education (ASE) have carried out over 25 tests to show that ICT makes teaching more efficient and easier to understand.

The Guardian reports that one study saw year 11 students compile data on seaside ecology in Brighton with palmtop computers, which allowed them to quickly collate information and have more time to explore more hands-on research.

Jason Molloy, deputy head of science at Foxford school and community arts college in Coventry, told the newspaper: "ICT has opened many new doors in science and has made it much easier to teach and to learn."

An independent review of primary school education carried out by former school inspections director Sir Jim Rose recently recommended that the government replace science as a core subject with ICT teaching.
