Abstract

The essence of basic technology (BT) in the secondary school curriculum is to assist learners to develop an interest in technology and introduce students to the basic rudiment of technology. Thus, BT teachers must use relevant instructional media that would help in achieving the aims of BT in secondary. This study developed and validated a digital photo series to teach BT concepts in upper basic schools in the Ilorin metropolis. The study adopted a design and development model type. Five BT teachers and three educational technology experts were randomly selected to participate in the study. Three research instruments were used in this study, a developed digital photo series on the BT concept, an educational technology expert rating guide, and a subject content validation questionnaire. Digital photo series was successfully developed to teaching upper BT. Educational technology experts agreed that the developed digital photo series satisfied the required expectation. The cost for developing digital photo series was determined. The study concluded that the digital photo series is a powerful instructional tool that can enhance the teaching of BT in Nigeria. The findings imply that schools should adopt the use of digital photo series in the teaching and learning of BT to concretize learning contents and increase students’ performance.

Abstract

This study examined the social influence and facilitating condition as determinants of secondary school teachers’ behavioural intention to use mobile technologies for instruction in Kaduna State, Nigeria. The study adopted descriptive research of the survey type to 958 teachers in Kaduna State, Nigeria. The findings indicated there was strong relationship among teachers’ social influence, facilitating condition and behavioral intention to use mobile technologies with ANOVA value of F (2,956) 61.53 p 0.05, F (2,956) 28,786 p 0.05 and F (2,956) 5.152 p 0.05, respectively. The study concluded that teachers' social influence and facilitating conditions influenced their behavioural intention to use mobile technologies for instruction. The implication is that there might be an improvement in teaching and learning at secondary school if mobile technologies are integrated into teaching. The study recommended among others, that secondary school teachers should help themselves by making use of mobile technologies for instructional purposes and shift their focus from using them for fun and entertainment to improving instructional delivery.
