Over the past decade, the number of students who gained satisfactory passes at the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) in Biology in Guyana has been few.

This study therefore ascertained if the integration of computer technology into the teaching of Biology would enhance students ’ academic performance. The study was guided by a null research hypothesis. Hence, the related literature reviewed for this study showed that integrating computer technology into the teaching of Biology can enhance students’ academic performance in the subject. A quasi-experimental, pre-test, post-test, non-equivalent control group research design was used for the study. The study used two intact grade 10 classes. One class was assigned the experimental group and the other class was assigned the control group through a simple coin toss. The experimental group was taught Biology using computer technology, while the control group was taught the same topic using the traditional method of teaching. A 20-item multiple-choice Biology achievement test was prepared by the researcher and was used for both the pre-test and post-test. Face and conten
