Abstract

The article focuses on the attitudes and achievement of the Nigerian students toward learning biological concepts with the use of the computers. At the pretest level, the students did not have positive attitude toward the application of the computer for learning biological ideas. Another group of students who interactively used the computer had a more favorable response toward the use of the computer in learning the same thing. Notably, the improvement of the students' attitude toward the use of the computer were because of the capturing nature of the question and answer sessions provided by the computer.
