Results shows that there is no significant impact of covid-19 lockdown on learning Biology among students in Al-Hikmah (r. = 1.23 > t.value = 0.997). The study also found that there is no significant impact of covid819 lockdown on the academic performance of Biology students in Al-Hikmah (r. = 1.12 > t.value = 0.997). Base on the conclusion, the study recommended that the management of Al-Hikmah University should continue to adopt more educational friendly technologies and expand the ICT infrastructural facilities that will support online learning in all schools especially in Biology.
