COMPUTER LITERACY AND THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERS


COMPUTER LITERACY AND THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERS  

Abstract

The study is aimed at examining computer literacy and its effectiveness in secondary school teachers in the Itu Local Government Area. The population of the area was one hundred (100) in the study area. A sample size of one hundred (100) teachers was selected from (5) five public secondary schools in the study area using a simple random sampling technique. Three null hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. An Instrument titled Computer Literacy Questionnaire (CLQ) was used for data collection. independent test- re-test statistical technique was used to analyze the data collected. Findings revealed that teachers with computer literacy have a significant influence on their student's performance in Itu Local Government Area. Based on the findings, it was recommended among the élites that the government should train and retrained teachers on computer literacy for optimal productivity and results. It was concluded that teachers with computer literacy skills are far better than those without computer literacy skills in Itu Local Government Area. It has an effect and significant influence on the academic performance of their students in their various secondary schools

CHAPTER ONE

1.1    INTRODUCTION

Electronic information systems have shown that they offer great opportunities for teachers and these information help the teachers in various disciplines of recent. The use of electronic information system enable teachers to accesses the necessary information on learning materials through the internet. electronic information system can be defined as the combination of hardware and software used to store the needed information from the external and internal sources (Ozigi, 2009)  for more accessible data bases towards the accomplishment of organizational goal (the is the goal of the  school). Lawel (2015), electronic information system (els) in education is generally used to introduce teachers to the used and working principles of computer system that enhance teachers’ job effectiveness in their records keeping and teaching learning process in the schools. Electronic information system aids the following, introduction of stimulations and games strategies, computer based instruction administrative effectiveness, school discipline, research publication facilities, and effective teaching learning process, also of recent. Teachers log in to internet websites to help them access necessary information for research and assignments.

Computer can be described as scientific machines that are used to perform tasks or calculation according to set instructions or programs. electronic information system enables the teachers to process, store and disseminate vocal, pictorial, textual and numerical information by electronic based systems. the use of computer by the teachers assist the them in carrying out their works, it helps the teacher to store, display, transmit, and analyze data by the educational researchers, and it is done  through computer aided instruction .computer assisted learning. The use of statistical package for social sciences software for advanced statistics aids teachers by overcoming the rigor of manual analysis of primary data. The use of computers enable teachers and students to share and chat through the use of internet. Internet as an electronic library where vast amount of information are  provided through different sources and displayed. The use of internet through thee computer enables teachers to access the relevant information needed for teaching and learning. If teacher are very to be effective, computer literacy is crucial.

Computer literacy and its effectiveness  has sustain a high understanding of computer by  teachers for an enhanced achievement. This has drawn the attention of some educational educators. This problem is not over until they arrive at the most effective way that will promote the understanding of computer with a view to applying the knowledge of such understanding to real teaching (Obene, 2016). Achievement in teaching process has to do with the attainment of instructional objectives. To succeed and attain these set of instructional objectives, a number of teaching methods should be used like the use of computer by teachers and educators which based on the effectiveness of teachers on how to use computer.

However, the use of computer in educational sector calls for teachers to be computer literate. It shows that many teachers shy away from being computer literate and computer is regarded as all purpose machine. Computer literacy is demonstrated by the availability, computer utilization and content competencies in the schools as well as through teachers effectiveness. (Adekeyi, 2015)

1.4    PURPOSE OF THE STUDY

the study aimed at examining the computer literacy of secondary school teachers.

The study was limited by time as the timeframe to turn in this study was too short to accomplish a more detailed research. secondly financial limitations made the research to be restricted to some schools within the locality of the researcher and so the findings and outcome of the research may not provide an authoritative basis for necessary intervention.

1.10    SCOPE OF THE STUDY

    This research finding aimed at targeting the problems faced by secondary school teachers on computer usage in selected schools in Itu Local Government Area.

1.11    DEFINITION OF TERMS
