The study designed and implemented a database management system for student’s registration. This study became necessary due to time consuming manual process of manual registration. The study employed experimental design. Fifty (50) students from the Department of Educational Technology. The experts validated the instrument Educational Technology Work Efficiency Test (ETWET). Three research questions were answered and one hypothesis was tested. The researcher designed the database management system using HMTL, PHP and MySQL programming languages and successfully implemented the system on 25 students who formed the experimental group for the study. The data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation. The results revealed that students who made used of the database management system had better work efficiency than students who made use of the manual registration method; The mean scores were higher for students who made use of the database management system; there was significant difference in the work efficiency mean score of students who made use of the database management system. Based on the findings and implications, it was recommended amongst others that seminars, conference and workshops should be organized and put in place for the teachers on the use of Database Management System

Abstract

The study developed and validated a computer-based courseware in teaching and learning of Physics in secondary schools in Minna Metropolis. The study employed the experimental research design. Fifty (40) students from which comprised of male and female selected from senior secondary school students. The treatment and data collection instrument was validated by experts before administration. Four research questions were answered and two hypotheses were tested. The data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation. The results revealed that students taught using computer-based courseware performed significantly better than students taught using conventional material; male students did not perform better than their female counterparts in Physics. Based on the findings and implications, it was recommended amongst others that seminars, conference and workshops should be organized and put in place for the teachers on the use of computer powered courseware as instructional materials.
