Thesis Abstract

Abstract
Computer science education is increasingly pertinent in today's digital age. However, the teaching and learning of computer science in secondary schools face various challenges. This research project aims to analyze strategies for enhancing the teaching and learning of computer science in secondary schools. The study will investigate current practices, identify challenges, and propose effective strategies to improve computer science education. The research will utilize a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative data collection techniques. Surveys, interviews, and classroom observations will be conducted to gather insights from teachers and students regarding their experiences with computer science education. Additionally, a review of existing literature on best practices in computer science education will be conducted to inform the development of strategies. One key aspect of the research will be to assess the existing curriculum and teaching methods in secondary schools. By identifying areas of improvement in the curriculum, such as outdated content or lack of hands-on activities, the study aims to recommend modifications that align with current industry trends and best practices in computer science education. Furthermore, the research will explore the role of teacher training and professional development in enhancing computer science education. By examining the effectiveness of current training programs and identifying gaps in teacher preparedness, the study will propose strategies for providing ongoing support and training to educators. In addition to curriculum and teacher training, the research will investigate the use of technology and other resources to enhance the learning experience. This includes exploring the integration of coding platforms, educational software, and online resources to supplement classroom instruction and provide students with interactive learning opportunities. Overall, this research project seeks to contribute to the advancement of computer science education in secondary schools by identifying challenges and proposing strategies for improvement. By analyzing current practices, addressing curriculum gaps, enhancing teacher training, and leveraging technology, this study aims to provide valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and stakeholders involved in computer science education.

Thesis Overview

INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The present study is undertaken to determine the various strategies to enhance teaching and learning of computer science in secondary schools. The major findings were that employing qualified and professional teachers and the creation of a conducive academic environment and PTA body could enhance the teaching and learning of computer science. The need for the provision of financial support by some philanthropists and communities will also enhance the teaching and learning of computer science in secondary schools.

Computer science, is science subjects who are concerned with gaining knowledge about man’s contained search for a toll that will enable him meet his computation and data processing requirement with a minimal, manual and mental effort.Consequently, the educational implication of this finding has a for reaching effect on both the society and the general economy. Thus, a society without a computer literate workforce will definitely lack behind in an age that is variously regarded as a digital age information age and millennium era and computer age.

1.2 DEFINITION OF TERMS

STRATEGY: According to the Oxford Advanced Dictionary strategy is define as plan that is intended to achieve a particular purpose or process of learning into something. In other words, it can be the process of putting a plan into operation in a skillful way.

ENHANCE: It means to increase or further improve the good quality value or status o f something. It is also opportunity to the reputation of the company.

TEACHING Gage (1994:4) observed teaching as any interpersonal influence aimed at changing the ways in which other persons can or will behave.

In other words, teaching deal of a particular person or group especially about political, region or society, that is taught to other people.

Teaching is a systematic, rational and organized process of transmitting knowledge, attitudes, and skills in accordance with professional principal principles.

According to Thompson (1969) observed that teaching identifies with communication, which involves the transmission of information from senders to receiver and from receivers to senders.

LEARNING: Oxford Advanced Dictionary defined learning as the process of gaining knowledge through reading and studying. It is also the relative change in human behaviour as a result of experience, training and the ability of acquiring knowledge through reading and writing.

COMPUTER: Reinhold (1964) defined computer as an electronic device that are capable to accept data as an input, process it before given it out as a result or information. He further defined computer as any electronic device that performs calculation and process information.

SCIENCE: This is a system for organizing the knowledge about a particular subject especially, one concern with aspects of human behaviour or society

1.3 IMPORTANCE OF COMPUTER

The importance of computer cannot be over-emphasized considering its assistance to mankind in terms of business, industry, Government and law enforcement, banks, in biological, physical and social sciences, chemistry and physics, fine art, education and in home etc.

For instance, the computer is playing an increasingly important role in society, particularly in industrially developed countries. Its usage can be seen in various ways, which includes: β€”

-It helps to find a move in a game of chess-

-It helps to transfer finds from one bank to another-

-It helps to calculate their employee’s wages and print pay roll cheque.-

-It helps record the amount of money deposited and withdrawn by customers for type setting books, magazine and documents.-

-It stores a vast amount of data.-

-It checks tax returns each year-

-To finger print daily-

-To store even crime statistics, license numbers of store cars in the computer database.-

-To plan troop man over.-

-To analyze experiment data used to guide telescope and other objects in space.-

-To find out various major illness (e.g. in diagnosing brain turners and certain other disorders.-

-It is also used for lectures through a step-by-step lesson.Used to play the music stored in our CD-ROM used to
scan picture into document for publishing used for sending mail to a friend across the globe.
