THE EFFECT
OF THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY ON THE INSTRUCTION OF MATHEMATICS AND ENGLISH
SECONDARY SCHOOLS
ABSTRACTS
The purpose
of this study was to examine the effect of the use of technology on the
instruction of Mathematics and English I secondary schools within the Nigeria
public schools system who participated in a pilot program on the use of
geometer sketchpad (GSP). Three of these schools were randomly programmed on
how to use GSP to teach geometry. Each school sent a teacher to a summer
in-service training program on how to use GSP class and a traditional geometry
class taught by the same teacher were the study participants. Student’s
mathematics FCAT results were examined to determine if the GSP produced any
effects. Student’s scores were compared based on assignment to the control or
experimental group as well as gender and SES. SES measurements were based on
whether students qualified for tree lunch. The findings of the study revealed a
significant difference in the FCAT mathematics scored of students who were
taught geometry using GSP compared to those who used the traditional method. In
conclusion, the use of technology (particularly GSP) is likely to boost
students FCAT mathematics test scores. The findings also show that the use of
GSP may be able to close known gender and SES related achievement gaps. The
results of this study promote policy changes in the way geometry is taught to
10th grade students in Nigeria Public Schools.

INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND
TO THE STUDY
The world is
experiencing a third wave of social and technology transformation as the
society is becoming more oriented to the information and communication
technology (ICT). ICT is one of the various factors that are drastically influencing
educational success in the educational section. Ademu (2004) sees ICT as a set
of technological tools and resources used to communicate and create disseminate
to store and manage information. The
information dissemination is easily possible through computer technologies in
teaching and learning of mathematics and English in secondary schools.
Markauskaite (2006) opines that the introduction of computer technology into
teaching and learning is a giant stride towards the quality of education.
The use of
ICT is extremely compactable with the industrial form of learning (IFL) that is
propounded by distance learning institute (DLI) the emphasis by such
institution make it highly imperative that each stage of learning process is
associated with skills that different learning pandered by using a different
learning devices. This have prompted the
cognitive theories like skinners to propound the usage at teaching machine
which greatly reinforce the stimuli provided by the learning processes.
The relevance
of information communication cannot be over emphasized in our day to day
activities of learning for the purpose of this research work emphasis will be
on the uses and influence of ICT in the learning of mathematics and English in
secondary schools, mathematics and English occupies a unique position in the
school curriculum. Mathematics and English is central to many science related
courses such as medicine pharmacy, biomathematics and English and so on. It is
obvious that no students intending to study these disciplines can do without
mathematics and English. These factor and others have drawn attention of
researchers and curriculum planners towards mathematics and English as a
subject in school curriculum (Kareen 2003), in spite of the importance and popularity
of mathematics and English among Nigerian students performance at senior
secondary school level have been the focus of researcher for some time now. It
has been observed that poor performance in science courses are caused by poor
quality of science teacher, overcrowded classrooms and lack of suitable and
adequate science equipment among others (Abduilahi 1982: Bajah 1979, Kareen
2003: Oguniyi 1979) student perform poorly in mathematics and English, because
the heterogenous in terms of ability level. In addition the laboratory are
ill-equipped and the mathematics and English syllabus is overcrowded and loaded
(Ahemed, 2008: Ajayi 1998).
The
potential benefit of information communication technology (ICT) cannot be over
emphasized or underestimated in the contemporary worlds as there is plethora of
establish finding on the instructional values of computer particularly in
advance countries.
There are
now several ICT package on different subject. It is obvious that the current
trend in research all over the world is the use of computer facilities and
resources to enhance student learning. This may be the reason why Handel man
and ethal (2004) opined that many exercise that depart from traditional method
are now readily accessible on the web (Ps 21) even though teacher do not use
these facilities they further showed that the interactive approaches to
lecturing significantly enhance learning.
In a review
of empirical studies on ICT cotton (1997) concluded among owner that the use of
ICT as a supplement to conversational instruction produces higher achievement
that the use of conventional instructional computer based on education (ICT and
other computer appreciation) produces higher achievement than conventional
institutions alone, they retain what they have learned better with ICT than
with effective owner instructional methods, such as teacher directed
instructions and tutoring. Furthermore information communication technology
have been found to enhance students performance than the conventional instructional
methods in counselor education (Kaper, Robinson and Asadokehoe 2005).
However
mill; (2001) findings recall that ICT was found to be as effective as classroom
for fact based on learning but not as effective for topic requiring critical
thinking or mathematical problem solving. In addition the time required for
learner to use ICT was higher overall than conventional classroom instruction.
Student taught using traditional instruction combined with the use of computer
perform significantly better than student taught using traditional instruction
in a large college setting (Akour, 2006). Similarly college students taught
using lecture methods only (Basturk, 2005) bored on the review of several
studies and short coming on studies company ICT with conventional instruction
ICT can be considered as effective as tradition instruction. In order to
encourage the participation of mathematics and English in secondary school, it
is ideal that an approach which have a high level of stimulations particularly
auditory and visual perception system with a high level of involvement,
attention and concentration emotional arousal making the activity fun and stany
recognition effect, using mental references models in particular use by the
students is the basis for information communication technology (ICT) this is
the reason why this work ismcarried out the level of usage and the influence of
ICT in the teaching of mathematics and English using Oredo Local Government
Area of Edo State as a case study.
1.2
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The problem
associated with the growth of ICT that have being focused upon in this work are
political factors, economic factors, cultural factors and technological
factors. Among the major problem associated with the application of ICTs the
focus will be laid on socio-political factors, human and administrative
factors, economic factors and technological factors. Further the work based on
several case studies derive important conclusion and also provide permanent
suggestions to ensure of information communication technology (ICT) in the
third world.
1.3 PURPOSE
OF THE STUDY
The purpose
of this study is to find out the influence of ICT and the extent to which
teacher uses ICT in the teaching of mathematics and English in some several
secondary schools in Oredo Local Government Area of Edo State. The study
examines the following.
The
differences in performance of mathematics and English if any secondary school
student to individualized information, communication, technology or cooperative
computer assisted instruction and those exposed in conventional instruction.
The
influence of student gender on their performance in mathematics and English
when they are exposed to individual information, communication technology or
cooperative computer assisted instructions.
1.4
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The project
work will be important to school selected and used as case study the result of
this work will thus spur the various school into lingering on their policies or
reversing them if need be. It will encourage head teacher in providing the
necessary requirement and also by being able to provide the necessary
requirement for the usage of ICT in school. This restores high performance on
student in mathematics and English.
The research
will also provide useful information to principals of schools when recruiting
mathematics and English teachers who can be able to provide guidance to
students in the usage of ICT in the learning of mathematics and English in
schools, identification of the causes of poor performance and participation in
senior secondary schools, examination and the implementation of the
recommendation/suggested in the work by the school authorities and the
government will lead to better student performance. It is the hope of the
researcher that this work will go a long way in findings solution to the
problem of student mathematics and English in some selected secondary schools
in Oredo Local Government Area of Edo State
