As contemporary society evolves, technological revolutions are increasingly forcing academic and secondary institutions to adopt innovative strategies rather than traditional instruction. Therefore, the use of ICT in teaching is an active teaching method with proven effectiveness on learning outcomes and student motivation in life and earth sciences. Our study aims to examine the impact of ICT integration on student learning and motivational outcomes in science education. In order to do that, we used three tests, the knowledge test, the achievement of objectives test and the motivation test. The control group consisted of 30 students compared with 30 students in the experimental group, and the experiment lasted for 8 weeks. Also, we used a motivation questionnaire for students in the experimental group as a pre-test at the beginning, followed by a post-test at the end of the study to measure the degree of student motivation after using ICT, these last one were used as data collection tools, and all statistical analysis were performed using SPSS version 23. The results obtained showed a very particular statistical increase (p<0.0001) in the results and the degree of motivation of the students in the experimental group. According to our results, the integration of ICTE could be an effective way to improve students' learning and increase their motivation for teaching life and earth sciences.
