Thesis Abstract

Abstract
Computer science education in secondary schools is becoming increasingly important due to the growing reliance on technology in various aspects of society. This research project aims to analyze strategies for enhancing the teaching and learning of computer science in secondary schools. The study will investigate current challenges faced by teachers and students in computer science education and propose effective strategies to address these challenges. The research will involve a comprehensive review of existing literature on computer science education in secondary schools, focusing on best practices and innovative approaches that have been successful in improving teaching and learning outcomes. By synthesizing this literature, the project seeks to identify key factors that contribute to successful computer science education and recommend strategies for implementation in secondary schools. In addition to the literature review, the research will also include a qualitative study involving interviews and surveys with computer science teachers and students. Through these interviews and surveys, the project aims to gather insights into the specific challenges faced by teachers and students in the classroom and identify areas where improvements can be made. By involving stakeholders in the research process, the project will ensure that the proposed strategies are relevant and practical for real-world implementation. The findings of this research project will contribute to the existing body of knowledge on computer science education in secondary schools and provide valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and other stakeholders. By understanding the challenges faced by teachers and students in computer science education, schools can implement targeted strategies to enhance teaching and learning outcomes. Ultimately, this research project aims to improve the quality of computer science education in secondary schools and better prepare students for future careers in technology. By identifying effective strategies for enhancing teaching and learning, schools can ensure that students are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed in an increasingly digital world. The recommendations from this research project have the potential to make a significant impact on computer science education in secondary schools and contribute to the overall improvement of STEM education.

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.

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
