Application of ICTs and Educational Software in Teaching Physics: Advantages, Challenges and Proposed Solutions (original) (raw)

Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and educational software have been integrated into Physics education due to its ability to simplify abstract content, create interest and improve learning outcomes. However, despite the impact of ICTs and educational software, African countries particularly Nigeria has not successfully integrated these technologies into Physics education. Therefore, this paper reviewed the possible ICTs platforms that could be used in studying Physics and advantages of using educational software and integrating ICTs into Physics curriculum. Next, challenges hindering the integration of ICTs into Physics classroom such as infrastructure, funding, professional development, Internet and power supply are discussed. Recommendations are further discussed and possible solutions for these challenges faced by the Physics teachers.
