The present situation in Nigeria involves students of fine arts, a practicaloriented subject, being exposed to poor methods of teaching with consequent poor performances. This study examined the extent to which the use of a computerised graphics package could make the classroom technology-oriented and affect the performance of learners. This is predicated on the theoretical frameworks of constructivism and Gagne's learning theory. The research design is the pretest-posttest control group design. The research instruments are the Graphic Design Achievement Test designed from the Revised Minnesota Paper Form Board Test and CorelDraw 10. They were administered to 60 junior secondary school students selected using stratified random sampling. The results show a significant difference in the performance of students exposed to the computerised graphics package as those exposed to the computerised graphics package performed significantly better in graphics than those exposed to the conventional teaching methods.
Education is a tool for the accomplishment of skills, relevant knowledge and habits formation for individuals to survive globally. It also supports individuals to realize their potential goals for self and societal development. Nevertheless, it is also preconditioned for momentous and continuous nationwide economy -an important key for national advancement in all sectors (Adepoju, 2007; Alabi, Emmanuel & Falode, 2015). Moreover, in order to achieve the stated goals of qualitative education and to move the country forward, there is a need for a concept shift from teachercentred oriented mode of instructional strategy to student-centred learning schematic mode of instruction which is in agreement with the space age of Information Communication and Technology. This will promote easy teaching and learning, thereby fostering proper mastery of what is taught on the part of both the learners and the instructor (Merrill, 2001).The consequence of Information Communication and Technology provides easier knowledge in terms of effective educational change and developing of socio-economic. Nevertheless, the integration of ICT in instruction also facilitates and promotes new curriculum of instruction, thus improving and stabilising the quality of learning content, methodology, and efficiencies of the system of education (Adomi & Kpangban, 2010;Nsofor, Obunadike, Bello, & Abubakar, 2015).Researchers have confirmed ICT as a helpful hand for supporting classroom instruction in all ramifications as well as educational administration. For instance, the study of Wagner, Bob, Tina, Robert, Jonathan and Tim (2005) confirmed that using Information Communication and Technology in education brings about great increase in utilising technology tools for supporting, disseminating and evaluating educational goals. In other words, SuLuan and Sing (2008) argued that the value of educational growth with technological invention is more felt in administration than in implementing the curriculum of instruction. The study of Adomi and Kpangban (2010) identified some basic tools as prerequisite for the attainment and advancement of quality instruction in the educational system. Although broadcasting technologies, telephony, web, networking on the Internet, are of paramount significance to learners' proficiency for the global workplace. Nyenweand Ishiakaku (2013) submitted that it is imperative to adapt computer education for learners' development right from the inception to the school setting, as we are in the world of technological innovations and development. In the same vein, Nsofor, Obunadike, Bello and Abubakar (2015) submitted that the involvement of digital technology devices rendered learning to be positive; encouraging skills acquisition to transform the globe into a habitable arena.The studies of Fagbemi ( 2013) and David (2013) described the trend in the growing of information and communication technologies in a dramatically reshaped educational content to be handy and precise; thereby promoting enhancement of students' achievement in ter...
Integration of Web-based Instruction (WBI) in Learning of Creative Arts in Ile-Ife, Nigeria 1. Introduction The discipline of Creative Arts brings together different aspects in the field of dance, music and craft, for the purpose of producing artists in the art world (Obioma, 2007). In another words, Ogheneruemu (2009) and Odewumi (2020) mentioned that Creative Arts consisted of Painting, Drawing, Graphics Design, Textile Design and Crafts. Studies emphasises the significant of art, for example, Kalilu (2013) declared that art build up manpower, which develop productivity and economic in a nation with the supports of local materials. Soetan and Odewumi (2016) submitted that art, is a means of expression that preserves individual cultural heritage. Unegbu (2014) established that art clarifies happiness and joy in life through ICT appearance. In essence, ancient technology of people can be traced to their art. Globally, learning in the classrooms is becoming relevant in a unique way, because of the appearanceof information and communication technology (ICT) which embraces collaboration between learners and teachers via online tools (Cerna, 2014), More so, ICT enhances and promotes efficacy of instruction (Shamim&Raihan, 2016), among the innovative technological devices that could be effortlessly utilised is web-based pedagogical (Pathan, 2018). According to Khan (1997) Web-Based Instruction is an instructional receiving means where by World Wide Web creates podium for learners to acquire cognitive knowledge. Web-Based Instruction is a computer-based instruction which uses the world wide web as a starting point to handle information. Studies has confirmed the influence of ICT on learning. The study by Rosandich (2014) established that ICT is a wheel on which the education, government and economy is rotating. Ede and Ariyo (2013) clarified that the relevancy of ICTs tools for step up education, economic and social sector. Hammond, Reynolds and Ingram, (2011) articulated that ICT has been customized individual learners needs and abilities in the simpler way to study anywhere and anytime. Adedeji (2010) uttered that ICT augments and supports instruction and tertiary education. NwokeandAkukwe (2012) succumbed that ICT furnishes the learners with unique opportunities for learning and feedback that stimulates learners intellectual. Despite the major efficacyof ICT on teaching, many problems have also been identified, which has a great effect on ICT, for attaining the stated teaching goals. For example, Okiy (2006) explained that lack of computer proficiency and financial constraints is part of the challenges facing ICT. In another development, Adebo, Adekunmi and Daramola (2013) established that internet connectivity skimpy and low power supply and overcrowding as challenges facing the use of ICT. In essence, the use of Information and Communication Technology amalgamation to instructional delivery gives rooms for active learning in education. Considering the challenges, facing the use of ICT for learning, the study by Yu...
The development and deployment of innovative Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in higher education is being given prominent attention today. This is because of its pedagogical and socio-economic forces that include; greater information access; cost effectiveness, enhancement of collaboration and cooperation; and its ability to solve numerous problems confronting education in the developed and developing countries. It is also essential as it allows learners to acquire and exploit information within every sphere of human activities. However, the integration of technology into teaching and learning is facing some problems and challenges. This case presents an overview of the integration and application of modern technologies in providing higher quality teaching/learning in the Obafemi Awolowo University, (OAU), Nigeria, how to solve the problem of providing equitable access to education and how to improve the teaching and learning of Science and Technology in Post Basic Institutions using Technology Enhanced Instruction. It also highlights the problems, challenges and the lessons learnt from such innovation using OAU Ile-Ife as a case study of Nigeria.
