Abstract : his paper looked at how an e-learning instructional strategy affects the attitude of National Teachers' Institute integrated science students in north central Nigeria. A quasi-experimental control group design was employed. Out of a population of 179 students, 78 were selected as the study sample, and study centres were chosen through purposive sampling. Results showed a significant difference in mean rank attitude scores between the group taught with e-learning and the group taught with the conventional method, and the experimental group also showed a positive change in attitude towards integrated science. Based on this, it was recommended that NTI lecturers adopt e-learning instructional strategy in teaching integrated science and that lecturers be trained on how to make use of it. The study concluded that students exposed to elearning instructional strategy performed better academically, retained the concepts taught for longer, and showed a more positive attitude toward integrated science than those taught by the lecture method.
