CHEMISTRY TEACHERS’ AWARENESS AND USAGE OF ELECTRONIC RESOURCES IN INTERACTIVE – ENGAGEMENT AND ANALOGY – ENHANCEMENT INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES

Abstract

The study investigated the Chemistry Teachers’ Awareness and Usage of Electronic Resources in Interactive – Engagement and Analogy – Enhancement Instructional Strategies. The population of this study comprises of all chemistry teachers in Senior Secondary Schools in Minna metropolis. Five public secondary and private secondary school will be considered. The findings of the study also disclosed the level of usage of electronic resources by chemistry teacher in interactive – engagement and analogy – enhancement instructional strategies. From the outcome of the analysis the respondent agreed upon the fact that, they neither often use electronic resources in interactive – engagement and analogy – enhancement instructional strategies, not find ease in usage of electronic resources while adopting interactive – engagement and analogy – enhancement instructional strategies. The implication of this is that there is inadequate or no use of electronic resources while adopting interactive – engagement and analogy – enhancement instructional strategies. p-value of 0.89, therefore the null hypothesis; which is no difference between male and female Chemistry Teacher response on the level of awareness of on integration of electronic resources in interactive – engagement and analogy – enhancement instructional strategies was not rejected. Hence, there was no statistical significant different between male and female chemistry teachers’ responses on awareness of on integration of electronic resources in interactive – engagement and analogy – enhancement instructional strategies. Based on the conclusion above the following recommendations were made; More awareness program should be organized to sensitize chemistry teachers on the integration on electronic resource in interactive – engagement and analogy – enhancement instructional strategies, The teachers as well as secondary school management should be encourage on adequate integration electronic resource in interactive – engagement and analogy – enhancement instructional strategies, Challenges and factor affecting adequate integration electronic resource in interactive – engagement and analogy – enhancement instructional strategies cited in the study should be looked into, in order improve teaching and learning, Regular training and re-training of Chemistry Teachers should organize to improve their knowledge on usage of electronic resources in interactive – engagement and analogy – enhancement instructional strategies cited in the study should be looked into, in order improve teaching and learning.
