Utilization of teaching resources for efficient instructional delivery in data processing in senior secondary schools in Anambra state

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate how teaching materials are used in senior secondary schools in Anambra state to facilitate effective data processing and instruction for respondents. The study employed a survey methodology. A total of 120 instructors and 18 pupils made up the 138 respondents who took part in the study’s sample, which was employed in the analysis. A four-part questionnaire that was self-created was the study’s primary tool. The instrument has been validated. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 22 was used to extract the data gathered from the respondents from the Google form and conduct the analysis. In order to determine the frequency and proportion of the entire population, the researcher employed descriptive analysis. Based on the analysis of the data collected, the researcher found that learning data processing becomes easier with the use of instructional materials. It was concluded that instructional materials have a greater advantage to the teacher and respondents. This study contributes to the existing literature on educational technology integration in Nigeria and specifically highlights the need for improved utilization of teaching resources for data processing education. By shedding light on the current state of affairs in Anambra state’s senior secondary schools, the findings of this study can inform policymakers, school administrators, and educators on the effectiveness of instructional materials in teaching and learning data processing.
