EFFECT OF
TWO TEACHING METHODS OF COMPUTER SCIENCE ON ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT OF JUNIOR
SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS IN ENUGU EDUCATION ZONE
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY
Teaching
method is the main factor necessary for impacting knowledge to the students or
pupils. A number of methods have been tested and agreed upon by educators as
good. None of the methods is however, perfect and effective for all situations
but each of the methods or a combination of them can be used at any particular
time to impact our subject matter. (Onwuba E. 1983).
In the past, few methods are used in
impacting knowledge into the pupils which sometimes make them boring.
Callahur et
al (1977) noted that the method by which the teacher presents his/her materials
to the learners and engages them in the task at hand is very important.
Methodology is very vital in every teaching and learning situation. This is
because, for effective teaching and learning to take place, the skillful
teacher needs to use the many different methods and techniques at his command.
Even though there is a great diversity in teaching methods and techniques,
there is no one of them that can be regarded as the best for every teaching
situation. (Onwuka 1982).
A carefully designed teaching method
can work wonders in making learning more effective. The success in the use of
the method depends on intelligent analysis of the educational purposes, the
pupils in the class, the curriculum, and content of the moment or the type of
subject matter being taught. (Brown 1990).
There are some methods considered more
essential in impacting knowledge on the pupils. Such methods are as follows:
Discussion method, discovery method, play method, dramatization method, story
telling method, demonstration method, lecture method and field trip method.
DISCUSSION
METHOD
Discussion
implies the participation of pupils in the process of learning by evaluating
points of views, raising issues of their own and seeking solutions based upon
study, examination and group analysis under the guidance of the teacher. In
order for the discussion class to be effective, the teacher must know how to
guide the pupils without dominating the discussion. (Mark 1982).
DEMONSTRATION
METHOD
Demonstration
method is a method of simultaneously showing and explaining the steps in an
operation. it may also be concerned with an explanation of mechanism or
material. This method is used with great effect on subjects or topics that
demand acquisition of skills e.g. physical education operating, for instance a
sewing machine or typewriter etc (Brown 1981).
DISCOVERY
METHOD
Discovery
method is a pretty difficult method. It involves providing learners with opportunities
to discover new truths, rules, methods of tackling problems as well as new
values for themselves. Even though it is time consuming, the time spent is
compensated by the joy of discovery. Learners, especially young learners are
adventurous by nature. (Nurk 1984).
PROJECT
METHOD
Project,
discovery, experimentation etc, come under activity method in which the learner
is actively involved in the learning process. The project method has been
defined as a natural life like learning activity involving the investigation
and solving of problems by an individual or small group (Okezie 2002).
LECTURE
METHOD
Lecture
method has been defined as a verbal presentation of subject matter, content,
formally organized and supported by other learning (Benson and Florence 1992).
The teacher
is the active person in lecture. He or she is obliged to tell the students, who
more or less are passive.
It is one of
the teaching methods that have criticized widely as an inappropriate learning
activity for the students (Paul and Rose 1992).
FIELD TRIP
METHOD
Field trip
as a teaching method provides students with first hand experiences in other
words, a field allows pupils to see and observe processes in natural life
settings.
The field
trip actually takes the school to the Community/society. The educational value
of the field trip is the opportunity to discover and explore new information as
well as to apply and organize previous knowledge by concrete examples. Apart
from saving to develop interest of pupils in earning as they can gather first
hand information regarding the topic being discussed in class, field trips help
in developing good public relations. (Onwubiko 1988).
1.2 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
The development of teaching methods is
as old and closely associated with evolution of mankind. Since methodology is
essential to academic achievement, it should be noted that two teaching methods
have more effects on junior secondary school students than one method.
This study therefore, intends to find
out the effects of two teaching method on junior secondary school students in
Enugu Education zone.
This study is also intended to find out what
effect two teaching methods have on the academic achievement of junior
secondary school student in the teaching of computer science.
1.3 OBJECTIVE OF STUDY
The purposes
of these studies are:
A. To ascertain the effect of two
teaching methods of computer science on academic achievement of junior
secondary school students.
B. To examine the length of impact of
two teaching methods of computer science on academic achievement of junior
secondary school students.
C. To be able to make recommendation for
further studies based on the findings. It is believed by an author (named Nurk
2000) that successful investigation and implementation of findings shall go a
long way in reducing little problems if any in effective of teaching
methods.
1.4 RESEARCH QUESTIONS
The researchers seek to find
answers to the following questions.
1. What are the effects of two
teaching methods on academic achievement of junior secondary school students?
2. Do you feel that lack of
sufficient teaching methods in teaching and learning are among the factors that
encourage the problems encountered in academic achievement of junior secondary
students in Enugu Education zone?
3. Do you feel that with
teachers providing necessary teaching methods needed in lesson delivery, will
help in solving most of the academic problems among junior secondary school
students. (Onwuba 1983).
1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY
The study on the effects of two
teaching methods of computer science on academic achievements of junior
secondary school students in Enugu Education zone will be of great significance
to the following: Researchers, students and teachers. It will enable students
to know the problems hindering the
effects of two teaching methods of computer science on academic achievement of
junior secondary school students. It will aid researchers to collect some data
for their research backup. It will serve as an eye-opener to the teachers when
selecting methods of teaching suitable for a particular subject.
1.6 SCOPE/DELIMINATION OF THE STUDY
As earlier outlined, there are
thousand and one of teaching methods problems in lesson delivery.
So the research work was to
undertake proper examination in the effects of two teaching methods of computer
science on academic achievement of junior secondary school students in Enugu
Education zone.
1.7 DEFINITION OF TERMS

Presents his
materials to the learners and engages them
In the task
at hand.
ZONE: It can
be defined as an area with a particular features, purpose, or use.
