UTILIZING MODERN INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCES TO IMPROVE TEACHING AND LEARNING OF BUSINESS EDUCATION

Sunday Sunday Akasi, Ngozi B. Nwabufo

Abstract


Business Education courses must be taught with adequate and modern instructional resources, if there is going to be any meaningful skills and technical achievement. Adequate and effective use of these resources will help in increasing students’ skill acquisition, and enhance teaching and learning processes in business education. A Business Educator will only achieve his/her aim at the end of teaching if all the resources for teaching business education courses are adequately provided and effectively utilized. This paper focuses on the need for these instructional resources and recommends that urgent steps be taken to set up special funds for equipping the departments offering business education and that the human resources be retrained from time to time to be abreast with technological development in this jet age.

Key words: Resources, Teaching and Learning, Business Education.
