CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Educational technology is a
carryover from industrial technology (Ogunranti 1998) and it is also seen as a
solution to all education problems (Balogun 1988) educational technology is a
process- products which helps in facilitating learning more in the teaching-
learning situation. It is also regarded as a systems approach to teaching-
learning process centering on the optional design, implementation and
evaluation of teaching and learning. Put in another way it is the systematic
application of scientific knowledge and technical development within and
outside of educational system to solve educational problems and to serve to
alleviate necessities in educational technology teachers in training, exposed
to educational technology should take- up the challenges as a significant part
of their studies. Since educational technology provides more effective and
sufficient means has advantage of avoiding sterile and ideological debate about
the goal of education. The system of schooling has become training, which
select and place instruction for people. A man starts his occupation in the
world of achievement in education world. Thus, educational technology then
effective problem solving skills.
If technology is applied science
then there should be readiness to identify and scientific and philosophical
under pinnings of what their teacher do since scientific teachers dealing with
teachers in training are not free from the ideology of educational technology
therefore, there should be the consciousness of the nature of it and play roles
in defining it even more clearly.
The essential purpose of over
teacher education programme is to provide prospective teacher with both an
array of instructionalalternative and the skills necessary to make appropriate
choice among them. Teachers in training in college of education and
universities should not just stand aloof from producing and using instructional
materials after graduation, the programme should continue and should have
bearing with the school system.
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
What one should bear in mind about
the term ‘’educational technology’’ is that at is beyond mere collection and
operation of educational materials and equipment to some people, educational
technology is any equipment or machine that may be found in the classroom.
Educational technology can be used
to impact learning in an effective and appealing manner. It has been designed
to give students experience using technology tools to design and create
instructional materials for all types of learners in various educational
setting.
The course offer opportunities for
students to use technology to effectively implement and evaluate their
instructional materials. Educational technology is a concept dealing with all
the problem facing education, it makes use of instructional technology,
learning and communication theories and system approach in vocational
educational gives learners the skills to live learn and work as a productive
citizens in a global society. It is also the type of education intentionally
designed for people who have chosen occupation and wish to improve on them.
The national policy on education
(2010) viewed vocational and technical education as an aspect of the education
process involves in addition to general education, the study of technology and
related sciences and acquisition of practical skills, attitudes, understanding
and knowledge.
Moreso, many schools and colleges
are using new method of educational technology to enhance the learning
experience in vocational technology to enhance the learning experience in
vocational technical education these includes: DVDS Digital television and
radio and sophisticated forms of communication Technology.
It is undoubtedly beneficial that
students have the option to use to increase their learning capacity and pursue
their interest.
The role of educational technology
in vocational and technical education programmes in Nigeria colleges of
education can help students understand certain concepts better and also act as
a means of aiding instruction and as a tool to enhance the entire learning
process.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Despite the
best intentions of successive Nigerian governments, vocational and technical
education programmes are still fraught with problems, including Administrator’s
misconception of the nature of vocational education, inadequate political will
by the government, deficient educational monitoring and evaluation
procedures,poor funding, poor incentives for teachers and a rapid rate of
technological changes.
Vocational and technical education
courses attract students who leave school and are unable toobtain employment
for such students, it offers them the training in technical fields.
Furthermore, the mission of
vocational and technical education is not only to provide definite training in
the various occupations, but also to relate that training to science,
mathematics etc which are useful in the society.
Furthermore, vocational and
technical education is needed in every aspect of our national life. The problem
of juvenile delinquency and crime can be reduced if the youths are given the
necessary vocational training that will keep them busy. In develop world vocational
and technical education is regarded as a wise investment. It is believed by
many people that through vocational and technical education and training, boys
and girls as well as adults will be trained to acquire requisite skills that
will enable them secure employments, which will be beneficial to themselves and
the society.
Government should provide more
employment opportunities to graduates of vocational and technical teachers
education. They should also offer scholarships in this area, there is need to
change the vocational and technical teachers economic status so as to increase
the public awareness of the importance of vocational and technical teachers
education incentive should be given to the vocational and technical teachers to
discourage them from drifting to industries.
Government should increase the
number of vocational and technical teachers in post primary institution to
enhance effective pre-vocational programme and prepare the students very well
for vocational education and also conduct in-service training for the
vocational and technical teachers regularly in order to upgrade their quality.
Vocational and technical education
in Nigeria has achequered history. Given it humble beginnings, this aspect of
education was misunderstood by educators in the larger society, conceptually,
educators could hardly differentiate between the terms vocational and technical
education, while society had been led to believe that vocation education for
those who areincapable of pursing academic programmes against this background.
Vocational and technical education has made slow progress from its earliest
time to date.
For the purpose of clarity.
Vocational education is that skill based programme designed for sub
-professional level education and based on a specific vocation. Technical
education on other hand, facilitates the acquisition of practical and applied
skills as well as basic scientific knowledge the major difference between the
two terms is that whereas vocational education is designed for a particular
vocation technical education but gives general knowledge, this while every
vocational education programme is technical in nature not all technical
educationprogrammes are vocational. This subtle relationship account of take
Nigeria as an example, vocational education program are offered at the
technical education courses at the ordinary national diploma level. As part of
the improved fortunes of vocational education, the Current National Policy on
Education (1998)has accorded a section to it clarifying it’s objectives with
respect to the entire education system. Furthermore, the country’s increasing unemployment
has helped to highlight the need for Vocational Education.
