This study was centered on strategies for
improving computer instruction in secondary schools in Ezza South LGA of Ebonyi
State. Computer is a fast and accurate electronic machine, which is capable of
accepting data as input, processes data and produces outputs under the
influence of a stored instruction. The survey research design were used to
carry out the research, 5 schools were selected, 16 students were picked from
each school at random and their teachers were automatically selected making the
total sample to be 100. Data were collected using four point likert scale and
analysis using mean and standard deviation. In my findings i discovered that
the use of learning team, training teachers at different skill level,
establishing cooperative and peer tutoring groups, reviewing and re-writing secondary
school technology curriculum are most suitable strategies for improving
computer instruction. The researcher thereby recommended that teachers should
avail themselves of any opportunity for academic advancement, government should
supply computer system, and its accessories to schools to bridge the gap
between theory and practical and conclusion were drawn.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background to the Study
The world has witnessed in the past, two major
socio-economic Revolutions; the agricultural revolution and the industrial
revolution. Presently, there is another socio-economic shift, which is the
arrival of computer is being witnessed. This stage of revolution in the society
emphasized the production, storage and distribution of information in various
forms.
According to Alo (2006); computer is an electronic devices or machine
that is capable of accepting inputs or data through input devices, processes
the inputs and generates appropriate results which are displayed through the
output devices.
Computer is an electronic machine used to record, store process and
recall data or information (Ezeliora, 2000). According to Mbam (2000); computer
is a fast and accurate electronic machine, which is capable of accepting data
as input, processes data and produces outputs under the influence of a stored
program or instruction.
Computer Education can be seen as learning experiences with computer for
the aim of achieving the set objectives of computer education (Nwaibe, 2010).
consequently, computer education is aimed at making the learner computer
literate.
Mbam
(2000) defined computer as a machine which processes intelligent results.
He stresses that computer is a machine capable of
accepting data according to a predefine instruction and produce report as
results.
Umeh
(2004) defined computer as a kind of electronic machine that enables man to
solve diverse kind of problems.
He further emphasis that computer is a device
capable of accepting data, processing data and displaying the results in mans
understandable format.
Ezeliora (2005), defined computer as “an
electro-mechanical device used to aid calculations with little mental and
manual effort. He explained that computer is an electronic device or machine
that is capable of performing calculations and other kind of data manipulation.
Computer
can further be defined as an electronic machine that is capable of carrying out
services of arithmetic and logical operations with a well structured
instruction. It is a machine capable of presenting information (lesson) to its
users when programmed for this purpose. The importance of web and distant
learning speaks for the many instructional provision that can be acquired with
the use of computer in improving instructions.
In
Ebonyi state, computer education is a welcomed development whereby the teaching
of computer is being administered to all students regardless of the class they
belong to in secondary schools but the problems faced here is that, they do not
have all the necessary requirements needed for effective and successful teaching
and learning of computer. This requirements include; computer Laboratories and
Libraries; enough computer systems, Electricity supply and instructional
materials for computer education.
To this end according to Oduma (2004) are ways
(strategies) for improving computer instruction thus:
-
Conducting
teacher in service training in different aspects of technology and its
application to different concepts on computer instruction
-
Ensuring the
accessibility and appropriate software to the students and teachers.
-
Citing the
schools computer laboratory to a more accessible area.
-
Review and
re-write middle school technology curriculum.
-
Establish
cooperative and peer tutoring groups, workshops and seminars for both the
students and teachers.
Hence, improving computer instructional strategies, topics in the school syllabus should be encoded in the computer programme in a self-instructional mode, which should be easy for students to use with minimal assistance.
During my research work in Ezza Boys High school,
Onueke in Ebonyi state, the researcher observed that their classrooms for the
junior secondary classes are highly populated. The researcher taught the
J.S.S.11A class that was populated with eighty-five students. More so, one (1)
computer system was provided by the school to undergo the teaching and learning
process of computer. Consequently, student’s performance in their previous
years exams was very poor. This is in line with Igbe (2008) when he said that
computer Education cannot be effectively taught and learnt without the use of
relevant instructional materials. The teaching task the researcher experienced
there was a tedious and enormous one because the researcher made sure that each
of the student experienced the computer in order for the specific objectives to
be achieved which made me to use more than the required time to teach the
students.
Thus; it is in the realization of these problems above that prompt me to emerge with this research to present strategies of improving computer instruction in Ezza South Local Government Area Secondary Schools.
The purpose of this study is to present the
strategies of improving computer instructions in Ezza South Local Government
Area Secondary Schools.
Specifically, the research is designed to;
i.
Determine the
strategies for improving computer instruction in secondary schools in Ezza
south Local Government Area.
ii.
Determine the
most suitable strategies for improving computer instruction in secondary
schools.
iii. Determine whether there are differences in the opinions of teachers and principals on the strategies for in improving computer instructions in Ezza South Local Government Area secondary schools.
It is hoped that the findings of this research
will be beneficial to the Ebonyi state government, the teachers, the curriculum
planners, the students and the parent.
The
findings of this research will be useful to the teachers by making the teachers
to know the strategies to use in administering their class for effective and
successful computer Education.
The findings of this research will expose
the most important strategies to the curriculum planners in the area of
evaluation technique.
The findings of this research will be useful to
the Ebonyi state Government by way of getting result from their investment in
Education.
More so, the parents will benefit because their
wards when they are effectively taught with improved method of teaching, this
new system of teaching computer studies will make their wards prosper and
succeed in their computer study. Thereby reducing financial wastage on their
parent.
In addition, the findings of this research will make the government of Ebonyi state to organize seminars, workshops, conferences on the improved method of teaching computer instruction to make the teachers resourceful and more embraced with the current development in the field of computer science.
The research focuses on the strategies of improving computer instruction in Ezza South Local Government Area secondary schools.
The following research questions are constructed
to guide the study;
1.
What are the
strategies for improving computer instruction in secondary schools in Ezza
south Local Government Area?
2.
Which of the
strategies for improving computer instruction in secondary schools in Ezza
Local Government Area are most suitable?
3. To what extent are there difference in the opinions of teachers and principals on the strategies for improving computer instruction in Ezza South Local Government Area secondary school?
