Abstract
This is the study entitled " The Potency of ICT in teaching geometry at
grade nine " has been carried out to find the effect of student's perception about ICT.
Researcher selected concessive sampling and selected two schools of Lalitpur district.
This research has conducted by using quantitative method focused for experimental
research design. The use of ICT in pedagogical process is growing liability of
gadgets. As a result, educations see the urgent need for integrating technology in
student's mathematical activities.
The sample of the study was 48, grade nine students (36 students in
experimental and 12 students in control group) from two public secondary schools of
Lalitpur district. After three weeks of regular experiment, researcher collected data
from achievement test and a set of questionnaires based on five point Likert scale. For
accomplishing this purpose pretest, posttest and non equivalent experimental method
was used. The quantitative analysis was carried out by using independent samples ttest,

version.
The results indicated that ICT based teaching had a significant effect on
student’s achievement in geometry compare to traditional teaching method. Result of
this research showed that the students in the experimental groups performed better
when using ICT than the control group with traditional teaching method. Finding of
this study showed a significant difference existed in the mean scores between these
two groups. The result indicated that students in the experimental group out
performed those in the control group. Furthermore, effective use of ICT makes basic
concept easier, enjoyable and interesting. Result show student has positive attitude
about ICT. Analysis of the questionnaire responses indicated positive overall
perception about ICT in learning geometry. Finally it is concluded that ICT is the
effective tool in teaching geometry in our context.
