Utilization Of Improvisation Of Resources In The Teaching And Learning Of Biology In Secondary Schools In Umuahia North Local Government Area Of Abia State
ABSTRACT
The topic of this research project
was the utilization of improvisation of resource’s in the teaching and learning
of biology in public secondary schools in Umuahia North Local Government Area
of Abia state. The purpose was to appraise teacher's opinions and perceptions
on the levels of utilization of these improvised resources, determine
challenges encountered by teachers in utilizing improvised resources in
teaching and learning of biology, and ascertaining the extent utilization of
improvised resources has enhanced teaching and learning of biology. Data were
collected using structured questionnaire that was responded to by fifty (50)
biology teachers chosen through random sampling. The data were analyzed using
frequency, score and percentage. The major findings indicated that teacher's
levels of utilization of improvised resources for teaching and learning of
biology is very low. Findings further indicated low level interest on the part
of the teachers. Physical materials are mostly improvised by teachers. Some of
the challenges teachers face in improvisation include lack of technical
know-how, shortage of materials for the improvisation and poor electricity
power supply. Finally, findings indicated that improvisation if properly
coordinated enhances teaching and learning of biology. Based on the findings,
some recommendations were made which include training and retraining of teachers,
school authority supporting teachers with funds to procure materials and
establishment of school community friendship forum.
