AB  - The objectives of this research is to study the
differences of teacher’s knowledge on ICT based on
school’s location and teacher’s working experiences, to
observe the relationship between teacher’s skills and
attitudes on ICT’ utilizing. Populations of this research is
based on science teachers who work in West Sumatra and
samples were determined purposively. Inference analyses
used were T-test and ‘One Way ANOVA’ in addition,
correlation product moment assessment was also
employed. Research reveals that there are significant
differences between science teacher’s knowledge who
teach in urban and rural areas (t = 3.15, p = 0.002).
Teachers who teach in urban have higher knowledge
about ICT compared with teachers who teach in rural
areas. Moreover, there are significant differences of
science teacher’s knowledge about ICT based on their
working experiences (t = 1.82, p = 0.07). There are
substantial correlations between science teacher’s
attitudes and skills on utilizing ICT on science learning.
There are also strong correlation between science
teacher’s attitude toward ICT and science teacher’s
attitude on ICT utilizing. Science teacher’s attitude on
ICT utilizing has weak and positive correlation to
teacher’s skills on ICT utilizing in science learning. The
implications of this study are prerequisites of computer
hardware, internet access and training facilities in order to
improve teacher’s knowledge on ICT, particularly
experienced teachers.
