However, based on research literature, the use of computer in the teaching of science by lecturers is underutilised. Therefore, the study was conducted to investigate the intention to use computer in teaching science among lecturers in North Eastern Polytechnic. The study aimed at examining the relationship between perceptions, attitude, and other factors responsible for lecturer’s behavioural intention towards the use of computer in teaching science. A quantitative design followed by supporting interview was used to execute the study and address the research objectives.

Quantitative data were obtained from the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) inventory and the validated questionnaire was used in the study. The data were analysed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM).
