Abstract
This study
investigated the Influence of Human Resource Development (HRD) strategies on teachers’
use of Instructional Media in Teaching Computer Studies in Secondary Schools in
Abia State. The study employed descriptive survey research design. The study used
five purposes and formulated five research questions and corresponding five
null hypotheses that guided the study. Related literature of major variables
was reviewed. The population of study was 3728 Human Resources, comprising of
1068 male and 2660 teachers. The sample for the study consisted 373 teachers
(107 male and 266 female) representing 10% of the population, drawn through
multi-stage sampling techniques. A researcher’s self-developed instrument known
as Human Resource Development Strategies and the use of Instructional Media
Questionnaire (HRDSIMQ) was used for the study. Three experts in the area of educational curriculum and instruction
and Measurement and Evaluation validated the instrument. The reliability of the
instrument was determined using Cronbach Coefficient alpha reliability test
which yielded reliability indices of 0.67. data
from the questionnaire and the responses from the HRDs were analyzed. The
research questions were answered using the simple descriptive statistics such
as the mean and standard deviation. The
hypotheses were tested at 0.05 levels of significance with appropriate degree
of freedom using t-test analysis. The study revealed that pre-service training, In-service
training, capacity building and reinforcements of human resources to a high
extent influence teachers’ use of instructional media in teaching computer
studies in Abia State. The study further revealed that HRD strategies to a high
extent motivate teachers to use instructional media in teaching computer
studies in Abia State. Hence the study among other things recommended that
pre-service and in-service training of HRDs on instructional media should be
provided in and around the school to encourage the use of instructional media
for teaching and learning of computer studies.
