Background Of The Study
Education is critical to a country's economic growth because it aims to provide the economy with human capital capable of successfully and efficiently converting other resources into high-value output. Education is seen as the cornerstone of economic and social progress, as well as a primary way of ensuring individual well-being. To this purpose, educational organizations are formed to assist society in improving students' knowledge, attitudes, and abilities by utilizing both material and human resources (Akinpelu, 2005).
The teaching of any school topic in the school system necessitates the use of resources to help the teaching learning process. In reality, in the field of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), especially in the twenty-first century, teaching a topic like Data Processing (DP) necessitates a significant amount of resources. The degree to which any new topic may be incorporated into the school curriculum is limited by the amount of available resources in any educational institution, especially if only the most basic facilities have been supplied thus far. Equipment investment is required for efficient implementation of an ICT-based curriculum and should be high on any government's priority list (UNESCO, 2018).
Students can only interact or be actively engaged if the laboratory resources (computers, printers, cameras, scanners, internet with subscription, and so on) for teaching Data Processing are available and functioning, which would also be done under the supervision of a data processing instructor. People, tools, technology, and materials meant to assist learners are referred to as resources. High-tech ICT systems, community resources such as libraries, zoos, and museums, and people with specialized knowledge or skill can all be included. Digital media, such as CDROMs, websites, Web Quests, and electronic performance support systems (EPSS), as well as analogue media, such as books and other print materials, are examples of different types of resources (Janusszewski & Molande, 2008). The supply of resources that have the potential to assist and improve the teaching of any school topic at any level of the educational system is required for the teaching of any school subject at any level of the educational system. In light of this, the study's goal is to determine the availability and sufficiency of resources for successful secondary school data processing education.
Statement Of The Problem
The rising demand for digital skills has necessitated a greater focus on data processing courses at all levels of education, particularly in secondary schools. According to the researcher's observations of secondary schools in Lagos State's Ojo Local Government Area, laboratory, computer, and instructional materials necessary for studying data processing courses are not only insufficient, but also underutilized. Due to a lack of suitable resources, students are not taught data processing studies on a regular basis like any other topic, according to further contact with students. However, when teachers with data processing qualifications are hired, they choose to teach mathematics rather than computer-related courses, which is one of the reasons why data processing instructors are in short supply. During their years of study, the majority of these data processing teachers were primarily exposed to the academic aspects of their curriculum, with little or no attention devoted to the practical aspects. Aghadino (Aghadino, 2014).
As a result, unless the deficiencies in data processing courses in secondary schools are addressed, pupils will be utterly outdated upon graduation in our modern culture, where data processing skills has become a need for employment, interviews, and in some cases, advancement. On this premise, the researcher believes it is vital to undertake a study on the availability and adequacy of resources for effective data processing instruction in secondary schools in Lagos State's Ojo Local Government Area.
