CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1       BACKGROUND OF STUDY

Instructional materials are that things that enables students to have mental picture of what has been taught and to retain the message in their memory for a very long time e.g. Radio, Television, Chalkboard, Charts, Micro-Projectors, Still Pictures, Specimen e.t.c. It can be referred to as those things that the classroom teacher uses to impact knowledge to pupils in the classroom in order to achieve his objectives.

        According to Ogunmola, (2002) cited instructional materials as visual or audio visual materials which facilitate the assimilation of organization. Infact, for effective teaching and learning to take place, instructional materials are can exist without adequate use of computer science education programme can exist with adequate use of computer equipments examples of such equipment are computer, monitor, keyboard, typewriter, mouse, scanner, printer, duplicating machine e.t.c these science equipments are indispensable to a good computer science teaching and training and learning.

        It is no gain saying that interest in learning computer science is increasing in Nigeria. Each local government area is trying t o improve on the production of technology. This is justify for computer science has totally assured great importance interest role of national power and productivity. According to the new trend of computer science, teaching has as shown a radical departure of traditional expository mode, in favour of practical and inquiry method to the inclusion of problems solving and active involvement of people in the open minded fielding practical exercise.

        Some of the objectives of computer science in junior secondary school are as follows

  1. to develop a computer scientific attitude
  2. to develop interest in an appreciation of the plan of life through the computer
  3. to develop or help the child acquire a scientific method of solving problems
  4. to also help the child acquire a useful knowledge of computer science
  5. to also help the child acquire a useful knowledge of computer scientific principles

In view of this, it can therefore be assumed that uniqueness facilities and equipment are available in junior secondary school. For practical works pupils will not derive much from the attempt to learn computer science. It has been stressed by Howard (2003) when he said what we learn is what we do” doing what we learn in computer science requires the use of practical work. We also have the bear in mind that at least some of the pupils would or may need to become professionally computer list. Such pupils need the equipment to be able to develop necessary practical skills. Beside, the basic sources of computer science experience is of course of direct contact which objects and events it’s in nature outside the classroom

        Specifically some specific educational reasons to have equipment for teaching was summarized by Balogun (2000) as follows

  1. It enables the learners to develop functional and manipulating skills
  2. It enables the learner to develop problem solving skill and scientific attitude

The acquisition of these skills is the contribution of computer science education in the general preparation of the youth with emphasis on activities based on child centered learning coupled with pupils enrolment into school in the face of corresponding decline economy. It is against the background that we can appreciate the significance of the question “the important role of computer science equipment in secondary school

1.2       STATEMENT OF PROBLEMS

There are many problems and obstacles which hinder the effective teaching of computer science in our junior secondary schools. Despite the importance attached to the subject there is no junior secondary school in Egor local government area in Edo state where the range of resources available for the teaching of computer science can be described as being in anyway adequate

        This arises as a result of inability of these materials especially now, due to foreign exchange restriction and large populations of junior secondary schools pupils.

        The aspects of this problems will be dealt with in this study which has the survey of material resources required by the teaching of computer science. In junior secondary school in Egor local government area of Edo state.

        The following specific questions can be asked does teachers in junior secondary school improvised or substitute for instructional materials which are not easily obtained

        Are there enough materials resources for computer teaching in junior secondary school? What are the materials that can be improved?

 

1.3    OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

        The purpose of the study is to survey the materials resources available for the teaching of computer science in junior secondary school in Egor local government area.

The study will examine

  1. The availability of facilities in our schools
  2. Whatever and how computer teacher in junior secondary schools improved or subtitle for the materials which are not easily obtainable
  3. The type of materials that can be sub titled

1.4    SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

        It is hope that the findings of this study will be beneficial to educational agencies in Egor local government area of Edo state.

        It should be of great important to educational administrates in the distribution of resources to schools

        Further more, the result of the finding will be of great benefit to the computer science teachers in other impact the required computer science skills to the pupils
