| Summary: | The benefit of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to students are to improve students' understanding and mastery of their lessons. Apart from that, ICT also provides equal learning for all students who have the abilities thus increase students' motivation. In the context of the use of ICT in teaching and learning, this can be categorized as tutorial, exploratory, application and communication. As an educator, the teacher has the sense of responsibility to guide the pupils to access information that is difficult to obtain. Besides that, ICT is seen to assist those to collect information as well as to create a fun learning environment and to face the learning challenge. The most important part is to increase creativity and the imagination of the students. The purposes of this study were to identify the factors that influence the level of learning ICT in Science (application of ICT, pupils' interest and mastery level of ICT skills) and to identify the problems that influence the level of application of ICT learning in Science among Year 4 pupils in SK Goebilt, Petra Jaya, Kuching, Sarawak. The research utilized quantitative research methodology where 30 questionnaires were distributed to the pupils. A set of questionnaire contains 5 questions including ranking, yes-no, Likert scale questions and listing. Most of the respondents strongly disagreed that they use ICT during the learning of Science to improve their skills in ICT learning. Many respondents agreed that their interests in learning ICT can influence their level of ICT learning in Science and most of the respondents disagreed that they have high level of ICT skills. Majority of respondents are interested in using ICT facilities in the process of learning. Half of respondents have enough time and require a long time to learn to use ICT in Science. More than half of respondents do not have a computer at home and they are having trouble typing using a computer. |
