Abstract Information communication is vital to achieving educational objectives. It plays a critical role in implementing school programs and is very helpful for school administrators, teachers, and students. This study examines the impact of information communication on students' academic performance in secondary Government schools in Chikkaballapur Taluk. Secondary data was provided in the paper to support the study. This concludes that information communication technology (ICT) enhances students' academic performance, improves the learning experiences of students, and also enriches teaching practices, making the learning process more interactive and engaging.
The paper also shows the infrastructure disparity between urban and rural schools. It identifies the factors affecting students' learning experience, such as student computer ratio, internet connectivity, number of hours allocated for computer learning, etc. Moreover, the study explores how ICT influences the teaching practices of teachers. The challenges for ineffective implementation of ICT in schools were inadequate ICT facilities, poor implementation of ICT policies, unstable internet services, limited access to ICT tools, and poor ICT literacy among teachers and students. This study employs a mixed approach of qualitative and quantitative methods to evaluate the use of ICT tools by teachers and students. The random sample data combines 66 respondents from the Chikkaballapur taluk. The research uses the chi–square Test as a statistical method for data analysis. This study focuses on the ICT usage in secondary government schools and offers relevant suggestions for improvement.
Keywords Government Secondary schools, ICT infrastructure and utilization, academic performance, Learning experiences, teaching practices.
