FACTORS MILITATING AGAINST THE EFFECTIVE TEACHING - LEARNING OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION IN JUNIOR SECONDARY SCHOOLS
ABSTRACT
This project work is designed to investigate the FactorsMilitating against Teaching — Learning of Computer Science in Junior Secondary School in Enugu North Local Government. This work aims at finding the problems facing the teaching-learning of computer science in junior secondary schools in Enugu North L.G.A, to identify the teaching method used by teachers in teaching-learning of computer in junior classes in Enugu North L.G.A, to identify the problems facing teachers and students in teaching- learning of computer science in Enugu North L.G.A. etc.In the collection of data, the researcher used the following methods; the sample size is 20, sample techniques were randomly selected while the data obtained were analyzed using frequency tables and percentage.
CHAPTER ONE
1.0 Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
The worlds are advancing at a rapid rate. Events have moved to the electronic stage with computer at the center. This development has brought a lot of innovations and revolution into teaching and learning. The 3R's which forms the nucleus of the old system of education has witnessed series of literacy reforms. The world is now in the age of hence there is need to keep abreast with time.
One of the ways of achieving this is through the introduction of computer into our institutions of learnings
John Ugoji (2006) explains computer as an electronic machine that performs tasks. Such as calculation or electronic communication under the control of a set of instruction called programmes. The programmes usually resides within the computer and are retrieved as processed by the computer's election.
He want further into defining computer as an electronic machines that has the ability to accept data, process data and retrieve data i.e. gives out the result as information.
Okolo Lawrence (2007) describes the term “computer” as an electronic machine or gadget that accepts data as input and process them electronically to produce the desired output or information with the aid of a set instructions.
Computer can be generally defined as an electronic device that accepts data, process the data and brings out the result of the data as an information. Involving computer science into teaching-learning as a case in Enugu North Junior Secondary Schools simply means that teaching should carry a definition of computer during learning for easy understanding.
In this case, teaching according to Nicholas .O. Anyanwu (2006) means a systematic, rational and organized process of transmitting knowledge, attitude and skills in accordance with professional principles. He also said that teaching has come to be a complex task and should involve only professional teachers into the system in order to transmit the knowledge of the computer to the learners properly.
The learners that are mentioned here are the students of junior secondary schools in Enugu North L.G.A. Of Enugu State that studies computer science. Wikipedia (2010) describes learning as a change in behaviour based on previous experience. This learning therefore involves processing of various types of information.
1.2 Statement of Problem
The world as it is today has become computerized. That is to say that everything and almost all the activities of today is are computerized. Going by this, it therefore becomes very important that every body should have the knowledge of computer, starting from the junior secondary or even primary school. This is very important for young children in order to be able to cope with any computer challenges that may arise.
Computer science is a technical subject which demands a skillful teacher to handle it, if the students should be expected to perform well in it. Following this assertion, we know that the junior secondary schools in Enugu North L.G.A. are faced with problems that hinder the effective teaching-learning of all the subjects especially-computer science.
