Abstract

This paper contains the discussion and finding about the application of Information and communication Technology in teaching grade X I and X I I physics as compare to the traditional physics teaching. This experimental study was based on the perception of Physics lecturers and teachers of grade XI and XII of public and private sector colleges and higher secondary schools of Karachi region. The sample of this study was the lecturers and teachers of grade XI and XII of public and private sector colleges and higher secondary schools of Karachi the researcher visited both the sectors to collect data in terms of questioner filled by the lecturers and teachers. To determine the score of the questioner the researcher used ‘Likert scale’ with the category ranked as 1,2,3,4 and 5. Levene’s test was also used to check the quality of variance and t – test used for the equality of means. Regression and correlation was also calculated by using SPSS 15.       

This research proves that the ICT – based physics teaching becomes more effective and more content base which can very helpful in teaching of grade XI and XII public and private sector colleges and higher secondary schools’ physics teachers. From the outcomes of ‘Levene’s test’ for value of ‘F’ and tables of group statistics it also is proved that it can also very helpful in project development of students. ICT – based physics teaching can also very helpful in explaining of complex articles and phenomena’s which can be difficult to understand by traditional based physics teaching. The researcher recommended that the public and private sector educational institutes and their management provide necessary requirement for the implementation of ICT – based physics teaching in terms of skilled and experienced teachers and lecturers in their institutions. The researcher also recommended to the Government of Sindh and the concern authorities to play their rule in the implementation of ICT – based physics teaching and provide basic infrastructure and facilities to the educational instates all over the province of Sindh.
