TECHNOLOGY-BASED INSTRUCTIONAL MANAGEMENT SKILLS REQUIRED BY BUSINESS EDUCATORS FOR EFFECTIVE IMPLEMENTATION OF BUSINESS EDUCATION CURRICULUM IN SOUTH-SOUTH, NIGERIA
Abstract
The study examined technology-based instructional management skills required by business educators for effective implementation of business education curriculum in south-south, Nigeria. Multistage sampling technique was used in selecting 118 respondents (business educators) in universities and colleges of education from Delta and Edo states, south-south Nigeria. The instrument for data collection was a structured questionnaire, validated by three experts in business education. The reliability of the questionnaire was ascertained using Cronbach Alpha reliability method which yielded a coefficient of 0.923. Data were collected with the help of eight research assistants. Through effective monitoring technique, the entire 118 copies of the questionnaire administered were completely filled and returned representing 100% return rate. Data collected were analysed using mean and t-test statistics. The result of the study identified 11 technology-based instructional planning skills, 13 technology-based instructional implementation skills and 10 technology-based instructional evaluation skills required by business educators for effective implementation of business education curriculum in south-south. The result of the hypotheses tested showed no significant (p<0.05) differences in the mean responses of business education Lecturers in Universities and Colleges of Education on technology-based instructional planning (t-cal = 0.31) and evaluation (t-cal =0.28) skills required by business educators for effective implementation of Business Education curriculum. Though, there were significant (p<0.05) differences in the mean responses of business education lecturers in universities and colleges of education on technology-based instructional implementation (-cal = 1.99) skills required by business educators.Based on the findings, the study recommended the packaging of the identified technology-based instructional management skills into teachable programmes for re-training lecturers for effective curriculum implementation.
Keywords: Technology-based instruction, Business education, curriculum, implementation, Nigeria.
