THE PROBLEMS
MILITATING AGAINST EFFECTIVE TEACHING AND LEARNING OF COMPUTER SCIENCE IN
JUNIOR SECONDARY SCHOOLS
ABSTRACT
The study
centers on the problems militating against effective teaching and learning of
computer science in junior secondary schools of Igbo –Eze North Local
Government Area of Enugu State. In carrying out the research above, data were
collected through questionnaires administration and in depth interview. The
simple percentage analysis method was used to analyzed the responses elicited
from respondents. Also, chi-square was used in testing the hypotheses and
meaningful conclusions drawn from there. It was discovered that factors such as
lack of computer teachers for computer science, irregular computer science
practical, lack of power supply, inadequate training for computer teachers
among others contributes to the problems militating against the effective
teaching and learning of computer science especially in the area of study.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the study
The world today is assuming a global
village through the use and application of information and communication
technology (ICT). Ughamadu (2008) rightly notes that one will be in his office
or residence and monitor the events that happen all over the world. This
scientific discoveries and manipulations are made possible through the use of
computers and other modern and ultra-modern and invention in the filed of
science and engineering. Computer as a tool has been exposed and it’s being
utilized in the effective management of education in so many countries (Beker
1986, Herper 1987 and Urah 2005). Countries of the world are said to be
developed or not depending on their level of educational development.
For people
to be fully integrated into the global system through the use of internet and
other computer application, such persons ought to pass through the required
training as offered by the teacher. The product of teaching (student) ought to
be in a position not only to learn the subject but to harness all the necessary
information and development of the computer.
Computer
science like every other aspect of natural science requires more of the
students engaging in the observational and practical method of teaching. The
teacher on his part should be equal to the task of not only ensuring that he or
she monitor the behavioural change on the students in the processes of learning
but also be in total compliance to the current technology in the computer
world. According to Ezeora (1985), the level of computer literacy one attains
gives one an edge over his or her counterparts with less level of computer
literacy. Impact the desired knowledge of computer is no less the
responsibility of both the teacher and learner hence, both have outstanding
roles they play not only in acquisition of literacy but in the overall development
of the educational system.
1.2 Statement of
the problem
Information
and communication technology (ICT) is now a global phenomena and any nation
that does not want to be left behind has to articulate measures to be connected
to the positive side of the international digital device (Iyama 2005). Nigeria
is no less an exception among countries of the world. But, the problem has been
that since the invention of computer literate. Education being the bedrock of
cultural transformation has not been able to address this problem as apathy
noted by Agih (2008) that education holds the key to a better world for
Nigerians and with the new development in education (computer literacy), it
means that there must be a paralligm shift if our education system will be
relevant in this information age.
It is
therefore the trust of this research to investigate the problem militating
against the effective teaching and learning of computer science with particular
reference to junior secondary school in Igbo-Eze North Local Government Area of
Enugu State.
1.3 Research
Questions
For the
purpose of this research, the following research questions have been raised:
(1) What is the literate level of teachers
handling computer science in junior secondary schools in Igbo-Eze North?
(2) To what extent has the instructional
materials been provided for the teaching and learning of computer science among
the junior secondary schools in Igbo-Eze North?
(3) what is the level of provision of
infrastructure that would enhance the teaching and learning of computer science
in junior secondary school in Igbo-Eze North.
1.4 Purpose of
study
The
following constitute the purpose for carrying out the study:
1. To find out the literacy level of teachers
handling computer science in junior secondary schools in Igbo-Eze North?
2. To ascertain the extent instructional
materials have been provided for the teaching and learning of computer science
among the junior secondary schools in Igbo-Eze North?
3. To find out the level of provision of
infrastructure that would enhance the teaching and learning of computer science
in Igbo-Eze North?
1.5 Significance
of the study
The
following significance have been outlined from the study:
1. At the end of the study, the result would be
of immense importance to Nigeria in their bid to join other nations of the world
in the global trend of computer science.
2. The study will be of value to students by
exposing them on the best way to learn computers.
3. It would be of immense value to schools on
the need to constantly send their computer science teachers on training.
4. It would boost the morale of students and
teachers alike on the relevance of computers in today’s world.
5. It would serve as an instrument to enhancing
teachers’ status.
6. It would also draw the attention of
government on the need to provide the necessary resources both human and
material to enhance teaching and learning of computer science.
