PROBLEMS AND
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS OF TEACHING LEARNING OF COMPUTER SCIENCE EFFECTIVELY IN THE
JUNIOR SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN ENUGU STATE (A CASE STUDY OF ENUGU URBAN)
ABSTRACT
This
research work has the title “problems and possible solutions of
teaching-learning of computer science effectively in the junior secondary
schools”. A case study of Enugu urban in
Enugu state. This study was embarked on in order to discover the problems
militating against the teaching of computer science effectively in the junior
secondary schools. The statement of the problems were teaching methods and
inadequate techniques, unconducive
environment for teaching and learning of computer science, the teachers
knowledge of the subject matter, unavailability qualified computer science
teachers and textbooks, lack of computer systems and their accessories.
The
population of the study includes all the
junior secondary schools teachers in Enugu urban comprising of thirty five (
35) the government owned junior
secondary schools. And it is made up of one hundred and five (105) computer
science teachers in all the junior secondary schools. And the results from the research
questionnaires given to the respondents
showed that in all the research questions that most of respondents agreed to
the stated problems. we were also able to discover that inadequate teaching
methods and techniques, unavailability of qualified computer science teachers
and textbooks also constitute those problems found in the teaching and learning of computer
science.
CHAPTER ONE
1.0
INTRODUCTION
Computer science education as it was
stipulated by the National policy on education (2004) in Nigeria is one of
pre-vocational subjects in the junior secondary schools. The aim and objectives
of the federal government in these pre-vocational subjects mostly is that at
the end of Nine years of passing through it should posses an appropriate level
of literacy, numeracy, communication, manipulative and problems solving skills
in order to be employable and useful to oneself and the society at large.
According to Abimbola (1998) the use of computer in our educational sector was
a growing phenomenon, because searching for work in internet requires the
knowledge of computer. The use of computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) in
Education also requires in-depth knowledge of computer. According to Olaitan
(2000) he stated, in recognition of the prominent role of information and
communication technology (ICT) in educational system requires the knowledge of computers. Since our schools
are sweeping along on the incoming tide of new teaching techniques. The old
methods used in teaching and learning of computer science are becoming
increasingly inadequate. Therefore this work is an attempt to find out the
possible solution to all these problems in the study of computer science.
1.1
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
According to Webster’s comprehensive
dictionary (2004) problem is any pressing circumstance or a preposition in
which some operation is required. According to Oxfords advanced learners
dictionary (2000) problem is any doubtful matter that requires a solution.
Problem according to Omemma (2009) is a condition that requires a given
solution. In our own opinion, problem can be seen as a difficult situation or a
doubtful matter that requires a given
solution.
Solution according to oxford Advanced
dictionary (2000) is seen as a means by which the unknown is made to be known.
In Webster’s comprehensive dictionary
(2004) it is seen as the act of solving a problem. According to Okwor (2002)
solution is a situation that put a problem to a final stop. In our own opinion
we believe that solution is a process by which a difficult matter or situation
is revealed.
National policy on education (2004)
regarded teaching and learning as a
process by which information and knowledge is transferred. It is also a process
by which worthwhile values are shared (Ocho 1998). Teaching learning according
to Webster’s comprehensive dictionary (2004) is the act of obtaining knowledge
from instruction. From our own view, teaching-learning is seen as a process by
which worthwhile knowledge and idea are been transferred in form of a given
instruction between people.
According to
Abimbola (1998) in Nigeria Journal of technical education computer science is a
systematic systematic study of an electronic device which is manufactured to
accept an ordered sequence of instructions given to it in an appropriate
language. Abdullahi (2004) says that computer science is one of the science
subjects that deals with study of a
machine that can receive instructions, recalls
these instructions, carry out the instructions and gives a feedback on
its actions. According to oxford Advanced learners dictionary (2000) computer
sciences is the study of computers and how they can be used. In our own view,
computer science is a subject that deals with appreciation and application of
computers.
Junior secondary school as it was
stipulated by National policy on education (2004) in Nigeria is an educational
institution for the children between the ages of 11-13years No wonder the world
educational encyclopedia volume 3 says that government regards junior secondary
school as an educational institution where the necessary infrastructure and
training for the integration of information, communication and technology (ICT)
in the schools. At this level of
education, it is believed that the necessary skills and ideas have been
acquired, but the standard of education is fast declining. Ejili (2002) stated
that critical appraisal of the falling standard shows that there are several
variables responsible for this. The world is fast becoming a global village.
For that the use of computer in educational system is now a growing phenomenon.
The dependent variable for this study
is the solution, where problem is the independent variable. This is because the
solution depends the problems which are
encountered in the teaching and learning of computer science in the junior
secondary school.
1.2
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

therefore, are what the researchers set out to find out whether.
1. Teaching methods and inadequate
techniques are part of the problems,
2. Uncondusive environments for teaching
and learning of computer science constitute the problem.
3. Poor learning attitudes of teacher
and students are the problem:

subject is matter is the problem.
5. Inavailability of qualified computer
science teachers are part of the problem;
6. Lack of computer systems and their
accessories constitute the problems,
7. Lack of teaching aids and computer
textbooks militate against the effective teaching learning of computer science
in schools, and to fund out.
8. what
the possible solutions of the challenges will be like.
