THE EFFECT
OF CLASS SIZE IN EFFECTIVE TEACHING AND LEARNING OF COMPUTER IN JUNIOR
SECONDARY SCHOOL.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the study
Class size
appears to be one of the crucial elements that is often considered by
educational planners in order to achieve the set out objectives in any
educational system. This is because of
the obvious negative implication of our crowded classroom on the teacher and
the learner. Ozochie (2009) opined that
to make the correct estimate of the resources needed is the function of
population. This point suggests that the
essence of having a definite number of learner
in a classroom is to ensure that the resources which includes the
teacher, the instructional materials, class space, seating arrangement among
others are adequately provided for smooth teaching and learning.
Apart from the need for adequate
provision of resources, effective teaching and learning seem to be the function
of the teacher understanding the individual differences of each of the learner
as this forms the basis for the appropriate teaching skill to be applied. Onah (2008), aptly notes in this regard that
the essence of having a manageable class size is to ensure that the understanding rate of each of
the learner, their respective general background are put into consideration by
the teacher in the course of his teaching.
Teaching and
learning of computer science, like every other branch of natural science
requires observation and learner centered activities. In order to achieve result, the teacher
should ensure that he monitors the activities of the learner. As Anne (1990) rightly notes and portrays
science as the entire problem. Solving
child centered purposeful set of activities within a coherent and structured
frame work. This cannot be achieved
unless it can be translated into meaningful action. For Anne, this requires more than simply
presenting children with organized problem rather such becomes meaningful when
the purpose of the activities becomes me aningful, explicit and shared between
children and teacher and placed under a
class that could be managed by the teacher.
Under an overcroweded classroom environment, the learner-centered activities
would pose great challenge to the teacher hence the desired behavior change may
not be easily achieved. It is therefore the thrust of this study to find out
the effect of class size in effective teaching learning computer with
particular reference to junior secondary schools located in Enugu North Local
Government Area.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The national
policy on education revised in 2010 stipulates that the maximum teacher
–student ratio is one teacher is to thirty students. The obvious reason for this standard is to
ensure that the teacher not only controls the class but also to ensure that he
understands the learning capabilities of
each of the learner in the classroom.
Ozochi (2008) affirms that there is a limit to which a teacher can
effectively control, anything more than that according to him will affect the
school objectives.
However, in
most of our secondary schools today the teacher –student ration has gone far
beyond the stipulation of the national policy on education. Students stay more than fifty in each class,
seating arrangement altered, thereby making teaching and learning
difficult. Educational planners in
Nigeria have attributed the over bloated class size due to the explosion of the
population of children of school age.
Recently the Enugu State Government through her agently spliced most of
the secondary schools located within the metropolis in order perpherps to expel
the agony of overcrowded classroom.
Computer
science, like all other natural science is an activity based subject, a
situation whereby the learner is exposed mainly to the practical learning
process under the guide and supervision of a teacher. Maduagwu et al (1998) opines that
effectiveness of a classroom management results when the teacher and student
achieve the purpose of which either are together in a class under an
overcrowded classroom environment like what obtains in most of our schools
today it becomes pertinent to ask, how effective is teaching and learning
particularly in subject area that requires close monitoring of the learner by
the teacher.
1.3 Purpose of the Study’
The
following research purpose have been outlined for the study
1. To findout ways class size affects
teaching and learning of computer science in junior secondary schools in Enugu
North Local Government Area of Enugu State.
2. To examine the effectiveness of the policy
guiding teacher-student ratio in junior secondary school computer science
3. To examine how effective is the use of
instructional materials in an overcrowded classroom environment.
1.4 RESEARCH QUESTION
1. In what ways do class size affect teaching
and learning of computer science in Enugu North Local Government Area of Enugu
State.
2. How effective is the policy guiding
teacher-student ratio in junior secondary school computer science class in
Enugu North Local Government Area of Enugu State
3. How does class size affect the use of
instructional materials in junior secondary school computer science class in
Enugu North Local Government Area of Enugu State.
1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
1. The study when completed would enable the
teacher and or instruction know the dangers associated with over-crowded
classroom.
2. It would assist the government and
education planner on recruitment and supervision of teachers bearing in mind
the expected teacher-learner ratio.
3. The study will assist in providing a guide
in the realization of one of the core objectives of Nigeria education which is to make Nigeria one of the
technological advanced countries in the world.
1.6 SCOPE OR DELIMITATION OF THE STUDY
The study is
limited to government junior secondary schools located in Enugu North Local
Government Area.
