Background of Study
Recent years have seen a remarkable growth in technological advancements. This period saw the introduction of the electronic computer system and other modern technologies. Currently, computer technology has invaded almost every element of human organizational functions and education (Joseph, 2019). Computer technology includes almost all human endeavors. So much has been written about it and its relationship to all human disciplines, including computer technology, engineering, agriculture, etc.
Computer technology in classrooms is one of the most extensive and rapidly expanding trends in education. Like corn in a field during a storm, nations over the globe are bending toward the craze of computer education (Joseph, 2019; Madu, 2016; Macaulay, 2018). Science and technology advancements have highlighted the important functions of computers in the computer of information technology. It is a brand-new instructional system. According to Sherman (2015), the introduction of the electronic computer system into the educational lexicon gives the means to address teaching and learning difficulties more fast and precisely than in the past. This has ultimately elevated the computer system to the apex of mankind, as its acceptability continues to grow. According to Jayesimi (2015), the computer has become the "nowology" in our society and will likely continue to be so in the future. Computers are frequently utilized in classrooms, and computer technology and literacy have grown more important in the educational system. It has been determined that the computer is an excellent tool for providing an instructional programme.
According to McCormick (2019), computers may be used to diversify, grow, and enhance the teaching and learning relationship. In addition, technological advancement can only be boosted by the right acquisition of scientific information, which can be attained only through training in Science, Mathematics, and Computer Education (Mohamed & Lashire, 2017). In 1987, the Federal Government of Nigeria launched the National Policy on Computer Literacy at the primary, secondary, and tertiary levels of education with the following general objectives: For the computer to transform the school system, as there is increased convergence between computer technology and communication; and To equip the individual or student with a thorough understanding of the concept of computer in order to fit into the twenty-first century. The Federal Government of Nigeria's National Programme on Computer Education was welcomed with open arms and recognized as a technological revolution in educational practice at Nigeria's institutions of higher education. Computer Education was seen as a new instructional system intended to enhance the quality of teaching and learning and contribute to technological and socioeconomic growth. According to Adeleke (2017), the objectives of the nation's Computer Education programme included the following: To bring about a computer literate society in Nigeria within a short period of time; To enable the present generation of school children at all levels to appreciate the potentials of the computer; and To enable them to use the computer in various works of life and later occupations (Mohamed & Lashire, 2017). All state governments in Nigeria adhere to the Federal Government's policy to implement Computer Education and Literacy in secondary schools in 1997 in accordance with the following broad goals: To develop the use of computer as a teaching tool in all subject areas and to familiarize students with the use of computer technology; to enable the present generation of school children at the secondary school level to appreciate the potentials of the computer and be able to utilize it in various aspects of life and later occupation; and to expose teachers and students to the latest scientific knowledge (Spathis, 2018). This project will assess the efficacy of computer-assisted education in secondary schools for teaching and learning computer science.
