area of computer.
CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1
Background of study
This project
is to find the extent of computer literacy among secondary school science
teacher in Enugu north local government area.
Audio in GOOGLE (2010) defined the
world “extent” as the distance or area volume over which something extents.
Another text by NDINECHI (2001) explains (extent” as a length or range of
particular thing. In opinion of Ezeudo (2003) the term “extent” is a degree of
a particular something. In present researchers “view” the world “extent” could
be defined as how far or the degree of computer literacy among secondary school
science teachers.
According to ILOANUSI (2008) the term
“computer” is an electronic device that is capable of accepting, storing and
processing data with great speed an of according to give out information as
output. Another text by NWOSU (2001) defined “computer” a device or machine
that accept data, process data, stores data and produce result. AMAKA N. (2007)
sees the world “computer” as a device or machine that under program control
performs asthmatic and logical operation without human Intervention. The
present researchers believe that “computer” is a very fast electronic
processing machine that has strong capabilities, which can perform either in
numbers and symbols. Information can be stored and retained, the common feature
in all the definition is that the computer is machine that receive input treats
and releases them required to note some.
It is also necessary to note some
important of computer as enumerated by
OKOLO (2007)
He said that computer has assumed unimaginable dimensions, it is used as a
guild to the learner through a course of institution at videos displaying unit
in such a manner that will facilitate the understanding of the subject matter.
It helps to speed up the students learning process. He further commented on
computer having other applications in education in area like W.A.E.C. N.E.C.O. J.A.M.B
so on. They make use of computer in marking multiple-choice examination papers.
From the contribution of JOHN ILOANUSI (2008)
computer are useful for storing information about crimes, criminals and
suspects. He said it could be very useful in crime detection and prevention.
Such system can be interfaced with photograph capturing and finger print
system. OKORIE (2008) in his own opinion said that the use of computer makes
data into a very small storage space. Information storage and retrieval are speeded
up and computer records an easily be up-dated as the need arises. In these
researchers point of “view” the impacts of computer in virtually every sphere
of human endeavor are enormous, from the interaction we had with P.H.B. Bank
manager (2010), we found out that computers plays a vital role in bank for
keeping all the data and information of customers and equally used for
operation of automatic teller machine (A.T.M). These researchers also had a
chat with the doctor of railway crossing hospital (2010), we further found out
that computer plays a tremendous role in health care delving, doctors used
computer for diagnosis, perform surgical procedures and keep up with rapid
changes in medicine. In fact the importance of computer in our society cannot be
over-emphasized.
OZO-CHINAILFE (2005) sees the phrase
“computer literacy” as knowledge about computer software and hardware knowing
what they are what they can do and what they cannot do, how they are put to
work and how their uses can affect the society and your profession. In the
opinion of WIKIPEDIA (2010) “computer literacy” is knowledge and ability to use
computer and technology efficiently. AJAJA (2010) explains “computer literacy”
as an understanding of the concept terminology and operation that relate to
general computer use. Another text by ANEKA (2005) defined “computer literacy”
as comfort levels someone has with using computer programs and other
application that are associate with computers. These researchers believe that
computer literacy individual is a person that has basic knowledge in all aspect
of computer: such as area of computer application, how to use Microsoft world,
how to use Microsoft excel, how to use Microsoft access, how to use Microsoft
power point, how to create E-mail address using Internet.
According to oxford dictionary 6th
edition (2005) the phrase “secondary school” is for young people between the
ages of 11, 16 and 18. In the opinion of California (2009) “secondary school”
is a school that is intermediate in level between elementary school and collage
and that usually offer general technical. From Encarta dictionary 7th edition
(2004) “secondary school” is a school for students who have completed their
education, usually attended by children in grades 7 to 12. In the contribution
of the researchers “secondary school” is a school where people who have
obtained first school leaving certificate and common entrance attend to attain
more education. It is also the third step in educational process “secondary school”
is classified into three namely private, adults and public secondary schools.
The present research is basically o public schools in Enugu north local
government area. We further found out that in Nigeria a secondary school
consists of two levels this research in how ever interested in senior secondary
schools to find out the extent of computer literacy among science teacher in
Enugu north local government area.
SHEEHAN (2005) defined the phrase
“science teacher” as somebody or a person who teaches science. According to WIKIPEDIA (2004) “science
teacher” are those teacher that teach science subject with full knowledge of
experiments. Oxford dictionary 6th edition (2005) sees “science teacher” as
teachers who have basic knowledge about the structure and behaviour of natural
and physical world based on the facts they can prove it. In the opinion of
these researchers “science teachers” are teachers that have basic knowledge
about all the science subjects: such as mathematics, biology, computer science,
chemistry, physics etc. that can be proved in standard way but trained or
specialized in any of these science subjects.
AKUSOBA (2000) defined “computer
science teacher” as those teachers that can be able to use computer very well
and teach it effectively. Another text by OLUYIDE (2008) sees the phrase
“computer science teacher” as those teachers that have basic knowledge of the
concept, terminology and operation that relate to general computer use. From
the contribution of SHEESHA (2010) “computer science teachers” are those
teachers that have basic knowledge in discipline of spans theory and practical
that required thinking both in abstracts terms and in concrete terms. From
these researchers point of view, “computer science teachers” are those teachers
that have basic knowledge and ability to use computer technology effectively.
Enugu north local government area is
located at the center of Enugu town. From our present research we found out
that Enugu north local government area has fourteen secondary school
respectively: such as queen school Enugu, city girls secondary school,
metropolis girls, urban girls secondary school and new layout secondary school.
These above mentioned school located at new layout in Enugu state. Other three
schools are coal camp secondary school situated at cool camp in Enugu state.
Community secondary school located at iva-valley in Enugu state and
comprehensive technical collage situated at Ngwo in Enugu state.
In our society today we full
understand that the propensity of information technology (IT) today has show
that the world is becoming digital world with all its operation being converted
from manual to computerize system. Therefore, we made this research in order to
find out the extent of knowledge of computer, its uses and application that
computer teachers have in different secondary school in Enugu north local
government area.
1.2 Statement of the problem
The world
has totally become computer age and the entire globe has become a global
village through the explosion of application of computer. One can easily read
from the background of this study that computer and computer science. Its uses
an application software have impacted tremendously on all human endeavors today
–education, medicine, military, politics, agriculture, religion, business and
so on. This means that for anybody or any cooperate body to function
effectively and efficiently in any field of human endeavor today, computer
literacy is a basic necessity more so for science teacher to properly deliver
in different field of specialization in today computer age. Computer literacy
is a must for all.
The questions that agitate the minds
now are to what extent are science teacher versed in the knowledge of this
electronic device called computer? How much of its uses and application
software are know or simply put, to what extent are they computer literate?
Then, these researchers set out to find out the level or degree of computer
literacy possesses by science teachers of secondary school in Enugu north local
government area of Enugu state, Nigeria.
1.3 Purpose of study
