In developing countries like Pakistan, teachers are not trained and equipped in utilizing latest technologies in their teaching. In Pakistan, the use of Information and communication technologies (ICT) in schools is limited in schools. The purpose of this study was to find out the effect of ICT based teaching on students’ performance in the subject of physics. The true-experimental and Solomon four equivalent group design was used in the current study. The population of research consist of the students (boys & Girls) enrolled in the 9th grade studying physics in public schools. The sample comprised of male (N = 40) experimental and control each and female (N = 40) experimental and control each. The self-developed physics achievement test (PhAT) was used having 100 MCQs. It was further validated and made reliable (α = 0.836). The experimental groups were taught through the use of ICT for 3 months. The results showed that experimental group outperformed as compared to control group. But there was no significant difference found between the participants who received pre-test with the participants who have not received pre-test. Therefore, it was recommended that teachers may use ICT tools for teaching physics.
