CHAPTER-1
INTRODUCTION
Ability to work information and communication technology is recognized as one of the key competencies necessary for success in life and competition in the labor market which every citizen should possess and term computer literacy was introduced to distinguish between users and non users of ICT concerning, ICT to important roles are assigned to school. The first is to fulfill the expectation of society for demanding ICT skills, and the second is to raise the quality of education in the schools with the support of ICT. Many scholars, teachers and enhance teaching and learning as a side effect the number of published articles about the use of ICT in school work is enormous, however  despite significant investment in training and resources in reality school received computer equipped with data loggers and sensors to be used in teaching physics, chemistry and biology. Based on the answer it was possible to assign computer applications from one of the three groups.                                                         
 In the first group were these applications (word processing, email and internet) used towards which teachers have positive attitude and that they do use for school work. The common element is that teachers can work at home and then use the materials in the classroom.                                                   
In the second group were application presentation, use of data logger, computer programmes and virtual laboratory towards which attitudes are positive, but which teachers do not use because of the overloaded curriculum, lack of equipment and in the propriatering.
In the third group were applications about which attitudes are negative and which teachers do not use. The introduction of such application into teaching is at the moment far from realistic. Usage of ICT in schools is so device that it is almost impossible to test all possible application. Three roles of computer in a classroom; as a tutor tool and tutor introduction of ICT of biology lessons can raise not only level of knowledge but student attitude towards biology as well.
                             As biology teachers, we additionally have to distinguish between two groups of application. In the first group are generic applications used in all subjects like word processing, searching for information, communication using emails and multimedia presentation. In this case of a science teachers do not use of ICT in a classroom damage of the student is limited.



                                NEED AND SIGNIFICANCE
In most cases benefits and positive impacts of ICT on educational outcomes are reported. Use of computer in school even if available in mosaic and under pinned with attitudes and opinion of teachers using ICT have already contributed in positive ways to the learning of pupils and using ICT will assist in developing the independent learning skills of our pupils, teacher expect the use of ICT in class to raise the attainments levels of pupils. Teacher finds it disturbing that pupils no more about ICT than teacher do. ICT will make significant changes to teacher pupil relationship. There is no significant main effect of area on attitude of prospective biology teachers towards a subject.


STATEMENT OF THE STUDY
The main purpose of the study is to find out the using the ICT in classroom as a teaching aid. So the study entitled as “A STUDY ON THE ATTITUDE OF BIOLOGY TEACHERS TOWARDS USING ICT IN THEIR CLASSROOM AS A TEACHING AID”


DEFINITION OF THE KEYWORDS
SCIENCE ATTITUDE: Science attitudes are positive or negative feelings that an individual holds about science subject.


   OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The objectives of the study
1. To find out the attitude of biology teachers towards the ICT in their classroom as a teaching aid.
2. To study the main effect of methods of teaching on attitude towards biology subject



SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS

SCOPE: The study will help the teacher and the students the use of ICT in their classrooms as a teaching aid. It is a great help for this teaching and also it will help to increase the knowledge and can make use of the opportunity effectively. It will create effectively. This study suggests, that perceived importance and usage of software by teachers correlate.
LIMITATIONS
The present study has certain limitations. They are;
1. The size of sample is less
2. Study was conducted only in one school.
3. Correct information can be obtained from their teachers.




CHAPTER- 2

METHODOLOGY
        Methodology of any educational system includes the description of method and used for collecting, analyzing and interpreting the data. It gives a detected description of search variables and procedures.

METHOD USED FOR THE STUDY
          The investigator used survey method for collecting the study.

TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES
          Here the investigator used questionnaire as a tool. From this the investigators get an idea about student attitudes towards the project.

SAMPLE SELECTED FOR THE STUDY
          The same size consists of 15 teachers of Muthukulam V H S S.


CHAPTER-3

ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION

 The investigator distributes the questionnaire among the teachers of Muthukulam HSS. Then the investigator collected the responses after analysis the responses the investigator found that

Through this study the investigator come to the conclusion that biology teachers towards using ICT in their classroom as a teaching aid help to develop the interest and effective of student in learning process. The investigator found that, in the first analysis ICT develops positive attitude towards teaching 80% of teachers gave “yes” response and rest gain 20% teachers “no” response.
In the second analysis ICT helps to develop the interest of the syllabus; 66.6% teachers given “no” response. In the third analysis of ICT improves the biology field: 80% teachers given “yes” response and 20% teachers given “no” response. In the fourth analysis, ICT helps in the development of the study skills of student; 73.3% of teachers given “yes” response and 16.6% of teachers given no response. In the fifth analysis is class is more effective with  the help of using ICT in teaching aid; 80% of teachers given “yes” response and 20% of teachers given “no” response.



                                   CHAPTER -4

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSION
The investigator, after conducting the study found that biology teachers towards using ICT in their classroom as a teaching aid. In this generation, applying new technology is very essential. In this educational patterns use of ICT are very important, which will lead to increase the interest and knowledge of the student. This study will help the teachers and students. It will create interest and new ideas get in students is very effective.

It also helps to stimulate the imagination and to precede change in attitude. It helps in skill of learners. It helps the student to gain learning and new ideas. It is the application of scientific knowledge and learning.
