Abstract

The purpose of the study was to investigate the level of preparedness of teachers and pupils in the era of technology: A descriptive survey research design. The population consisted of all the lower basic schools’ pupils and teachers in two Local Government Areas, Bayelsa State. Twenty-one (21) schools were randomly and purposively selected for the study. A sample size of 100 basic school teachers was drawn from 23 lower basic schools. A 28-item Questionnaire titled, ‘‘Level of Preparedness of Teachers and Pupils for the Era of Technology’’ was used as an instrument for data collection for the study. One research question (What is the level of preparedness of teachers and pupils in the present era of technology?) guided the study. A reliability index of 0.9 was obtained using Cronbach’s alpha computation. The data collected were analyzed using tables, mean, variance, and standard deviation. Findings revealed that technological gadgets that would set the stage rolling for action are not on the ground. Teachers are ready for the integration of technology in the teaching and learning process, but are handicapped due to financial incapacity to meet the needs for quality delivery. Also, most especially, pupils are not prepared for this move due to hunger and the economic incapacitation of their parents. This implied that Nigeria is yet to be ready for the movement of education for the 21st century. Recommendations made include that the government should be committed to addressing the economic state of the nation, boost funding of education, and review the curriculum to suit the requirements of skills and attitude for the 21st century.

Abstract

The study investigated the availability and utilization of mobile technology tools in chemistry education instructional delivery: A survey research. The population of the study was all the 400 level and 300 level students in chemistry education, Department of Science Education, Federal University Otuoke. A total population sampling technique was used to purposively select all the students in 400 level (53) and 300 level (38) in chemistry education as the sample (91) for the study. Three instruments, which included a checklist and two questionnaire were used for the collection of data for the study. These were 10 items check list on the availability of mobile technology tools in chemistry education instructional delivery, a 10 items questionnaire on the utilization of mobile technology tools in chemistry education instructional delivery, and a 10 items questionnaire on challenges militating against mobile technology tools in chemistry education instructional delivery. Three purposes and research questions guided the study. Cronbach’s alpha was used to get a reliability index of 0.9 for each of the instruments for the study. Mean and standard deviation were used as statistical tools for data analysis. Findings revealed that students have technology tools for learning, but these tools are not maximally utilized. Also, prevailing issues abound, militating against the utilization of technology tools for teaching and learning. Significantly, the study has provided evidence on the availability of technology tools at students’ disposal and challenges contributing to under-utilization of these tools in teaching and learning to improve the performance of chemistry students. Recommendations included that adequate support, training of lecturers and students would enhance integration of technology tools, which would further aid teaching and learning and improve academic achievement of students in Federal University Otuoke.
