Background of the study
One of the fundamental rights of every human being is education. Education prepares the individual for challenges in life. Consequently, Gujjar (2020) opined that education does not only deliver information, but for developing complete personality of a child. In Nigeria there are three levels of education: primary, secondary and tertiary level. Secondary education is the level between primary and tertiary education. It equally prepares students to be productive members of the society (Jegede 2013 cited by Salomon, 2019). In developed countries, Secondary School is seen as the gateway to providing not only an educated citizenry but also a capable workforce. According to World Bank in Etim (2016), Secondary education is now being recognized as the cornerstone of educational system in the 21st century. It therefore means that quality Secondary education is indispensable in creating a bright future for individuals and nations alike.
A school is an organization with many personnel performing different functions to ensure that students were fully equipped with learning. The teacher is a prominent and indispensable member of the school organizational team (Okorie, 2014 cited by Aduwa &Iyamu 2015). The effectiveness of any system depends upon the quality of the individual delivering the service. Brilliant teaching reflects scholarship. personal integrity and ability to communicate with learners effectively. (Swars, 2018) identifies top requirements for good teaching. These include: passion and treating students as consumer of knowledge, listening to their questions, being responsive and remembering that each student in the class being flexible, experimenting and having the confidence to react appropriately to changing circumstances. A good teacher should be humorous, caring, nurturing and developing minds and talents.
The basic objective of education is preparation for an ultimate occupational choice (pre-vocational training).
At the secondary level, the new educational curriculum is expected to:
1. Provide the students an introductory material to be covered at a higher level.
2. Build a strong background and help create attitudes towards a selected career option:
3. Help the students develop attitude towards a particular profession and plan for a future career in business
Looking at these objectives, we can therefore observe that the emphasis is laid on primary need for education for the preparation of students to enter into the corporate world and to participate actively as producers and or as consumers of goods and service by business.
For these objective to be achieved the business teachers must be effective in the teaching and learning of business studies.
Therefore, for any teaching to be effective both teacher and learner must work in an atmosphere of mutual respect and trust.
Uge (2020) states that a successful or effective teaching should be guided by certain principle. Such as
1. Learning is an active process in which the learner must involve. That is learning is more effective if the learners participate in whatever learning experiences the teacher has chosen.
2. Keen awareness of objectives will sustain interest encourage perseverance. Objective should be clearly stated. The purpose of every teaching is to bring about changes in behaviour; that is to bring learning whatever methods a teacher adopt must awaken desire, stimulate purpose, direct thought and action towards some objectives.
3. The life of the students must serve as a starting point. That is the learning should start from know to the unknown, from simple to complex or from the familiar to the unfamiliar.
4. Teaching aids promote learning. The teacher should endeavor to provide make appropriate use of suitable audio – visual aids. Free use of chalkboard is of immense value. Teacher should make use of illustration; this does not refer only to pictorial images. It includes explanation conveyed through suitable words.
