Use of ICT and Effect on Secondary Students’ Achievements in Mathematics

Nowadays, ICT has developed rapidly, the diversity of available applications has expanded dramatically as well, from simple early tools such as word processing, spread-sheet, drawing, painting, and processing tools to more advanced tools such as programming software and education related software for learning. In this survey, we can understand the influences of ICT on students' mathematics achievements. This study aims to investigate the impacts of information and communication technology (ICT) use on students' mathematics achievements. Data were collected from the Secondary School Students of West Bengal. The study revealed that school level ICT related work had positive influences on learning outcomes. However, the findings indicated that the relationships between different types of ICT use with Mathematics achievement were positive. In addition, self confidence in Internet tasks was discovered to be beneficial to mathematics and thus, suggestions were made to develop students' confidence in conducting ICT related activities.
