This study adopted the correlational research design involving quantitative approach. The study was carried out in 4 selected public secondary school in Rwanda. The study involved a population of 3000 populations and a sample of 338 participants. The data was collected using a structured questionnaire with 5-point Likert scales. The data was analyzed using percentages, frequencies, means, standard deviation and regression analysis. The results of this study revealed that availability of ICT resources has no significant effect on the students learning behavior in Rwandan secondary school. However, it was found that accessibility of ICT resources has no significant effect on the student learning behaviors in Rwandan secondary school while user-ability of ICT resources have no significant effect on the student learning behaviors in Rwandan secondary school. The study recommended that Educational monitoring and evaluators should look at the completion of all core module and non-core, as some students complained that in ordinary level ICT is replaced by core modules of the curriculum. Besides that, Ministry of education (MINEDUC) should develop infrastructure within secondary school because some school situated in area where there is no electricity, internet connectivity and computers. Key words: effect, ICT, students learning behavior, secondary school
