ATTITUDE OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE TEACHERS TOWARDS COMPUTER UTILISATION IN JUNIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL IN BAUCHI METROPOLIS

Chapter One:

Introduction

1.1 Background to the Study

In the contemporary educational landscape, the integration of technology in teaching and learning processes has become paramount. The advent of computers and information technology has revolutionized various sectors, including education. In this context, the role of teachers in utilizing these technological tools effectively cannot be overstated. Specifically, in the field of Agricultural Science, the use of computers can enhance the teaching and learning experience by providing interactive and engaging educational resources.

In Nigeria, the integration of computer technology into the educational system has been a significant focus of educational reform. Various government policies and programs have been initiated to promote the use of computers in schools. However, the extent to which these initiatives have been successful, particularly in the context of Agricultural Science education in junior secondary schools, remains a subject of investigation. The attitudes of teachers towards computer utilization play a crucial role in the successful implementation of these technological advancements in the classroom.

1.2 Statement of the Problem

Despite the recognized benefits of computer utilization in education, there appears to be a gap in the actual implementation and usage of these tools by teachers, especially in the field of Agricultural Science. In Bauchi Metropolis, anecdotal evidence suggests that many Agricultural Science teachers are hesitant or reluctant to integrate computers into their teaching practices. This reluctance could stem from various factors, including a lack of computer literacy, insufficient training, inadequate access to technological resources, or negative attitudes towards the use of technology in education.

This study seeks to investigate the attitudes of Agricultural Science teachers towards computer utilization in junior secondary schools in Bauchi Metropolis. Understanding these attitudes is essential for identifying the barriers to effective technology integration and developing strategies to overcome them.

1.3 Objectives of the Study

The primary objectives of this study are to:

Determine the level of awareness and knowledge of computer utilization among Agricultural Science teachers in junior secondary schools in Bauchi Metropolis.

Assess the attitudes of Agricultural Science teachers towards the use of computers in teaching.

Identify the factors influencing the attitudes of Agricultural Science teachers towards computer utilization.

Explore the challenges faced by Agricultural Science teachers in integrating computers into their teaching practices.

Provide recommendations for improving computer utilization in the teaching of Agricultural Science.

1.4 Research Questions

The study will be guided by the following research questions:

What is the level of awareness and knowledge of computer utilization among Agricultural Science teachers in junior secondary schools in Bauchi Metropolis?

What are the attitudes of Agricultural Science teachers towards the use of computers in teaching?

What factors influence the attitudes of Agricultural Science teachers towards computer utilization?

What challenges do Agricultural Science teachers face in integrating computers into their teaching practices?

What strategies can be recommended to improve computer utilization in the teaching of Agricultural Science?

1.5 Significance of the Study

This study is significant for several reasons:

It will provide insights into the current state of computer utilization in the teaching of Agricultural Science in junior secondary schools in Bauchi Metropolis.

It will help identify the barriers that hinder the effective integration of computers in teaching, providing a basis for targeted interventions.

The findings will inform policymakers, educational administrators, and stakeholders on the necessary steps to enhance computer literacy and utilization among teachers.

The study will contribute to the existing body of knowledge on technology integration in education, particularly in the context of Agricultural Science.

1.6 Scope and Limitations of the Study

Scope

The study focuses on junior secondary schools in Bauchi Metropolis. It examines the attitudes of Agricultural Science teachers towards computer utilization, their level of awareness and knowledge, and the challenges they face. The study also explores factors influencing these attitudes and provides recommendations for improvement.

1.7 Limitations

The study is limited to junior secondary schools in Bauchi Metropolis, and the findings may not be generalizable to other regions or levels of education.

The study relies on self-reported data from teachers, which may be subject to bias or inaccuracies.

The availability of technological resources and training opportunities may vary across schools, influencing the findings.

1.8 Definition of Key Terms
