APPLICATION OF AUDIOVISUAL AIDS IN TEACHING COMPUTER SCIENCE IN SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN ZARIA LGA
CHAPTER ONE
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Education, according to Coombs (1970) consists of two components. He classified these two components into inputs and outputs. According to him, inputs consist of human and material resources and outputs are the goals and outcomes of the educational process.Both the inputs and outputs form a dynamic organic whole and if one wants to investigate and assess the educational system in order to improve its performance, effects of one component on the other must be examined.
Instructional resources which are educational inputs are of vital importance to the teaching of any subject in the school curriculum. Wales (1975) was of the opinion that the use of instructional resources would make discovered facts glued firmly to the memory of students. Savoury (1958) also added that, a well planned and imaginative use of visual aids in lessons should do much to banish aparthy, supplement inadequacy of books as well as arouse students interest by giving them something practical to see and do, and at the same time helping to train them to think things out themselves. Savoury (1958) suggested a catalogue of useful visual aids that are good for teaching history i.e pictures, post cards, diagrams, maps, filmstrips and models.
He said that selection of materials which are related to the basic contents of a course or a lesson, helps indepth understanding of such a lesson by the students in that they make the lesson attractive to them, thereby arresting their attention and thus, motivating them to learn. He suggested a catalogue of aids which could be used to teach history. He advocated the use of pictures which will help children in grounding their thoughts and feelings. He said that pictures are used as alternatives to real objects where it is impossible to show students the real objects, and they do serve effectively in tan imagined activities.
It is also very vital to have sufficient and adequate human resources in terms of teacher quality for the teaching of all subjects in the school curriculum. Without the teachers as implementing factors, the goals of education can never be achieved. In order to achieve a just and egalitarian society as spelt out in the Nigerian National Policy of Education (1981), schools should be properly and uniformly equipped to promote sound and effective teaching. Suitable textbooks, qualified teachers, libraries which are adequate should also be provided for schools. Scarcity of these, according to Coombs (1970), will constraint educational system from responding more fully to new demands. In order to raise the quality of education, its efficiency and productivity, better learning materials are needed. Knezewich (1975) also stressed the importance of having appropriate personnel plan and adequate physical facilities to support educational effort.
1.2 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM:
Most students find find studying computer science boring. To many, computer science is an abstract subject that involves more effort to learn. It is assumed that the use of audio visuals will improve on the learning experience of students.
1.3 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
1. To introduce audio visuals in learning and teaching resources for computer science
2. To introduce strategies for effective audio visual resources teaching and learning development especially in field of computer science
3. To provide guidance on how audio visual resources can be effectively used with examples of good practice.
4. Also, the purpose of learning and teaching using audio visual resources is to provide a source of learning experiences for students.
5. To find out if there can be differences in the scores, on the test of computer science, of students in schools with adequate supply of qualified computer science teachers who use audio visual aids and the scores of students in schools with inadequate supply of qualified teachers and who do not use audio visual aids.
6. To find out if there can be differences in the scores, on the test of computer science, of students in schools with adequate audio visual material resources in computer science and scores of student in schools with inadequate audio visual material resources in computer science
1.4 RESEARCH QUESTION
1. Is possible to introduce functions and types of learning and teaching resources for computer science?
2. What are the strategies introduced for effective resources development especially in field of computer science?
3. How can this study provide guidance on how resources like textbook can be effectively used with examples of good practice?
4. Is the purpose of learning and teaching resources is to provide a source of learning experiences for students?
5. How can one find out if there can be differences in the scores, on the test of computer science, of students in schools with adequate supply of qualified computer science teachers and the scores of students in schools with inadequate supply of qualified teachers?
1.5 RESEARCH HYPOTHESES
In order to identify the variables and to accomplish the purpose of this study, the following hypotheses were tested.
H0: There is no significant difference in the scores, on the test of computer science, of students in schools with adequate supply of qualified computer science teachers and the scores of students in schools with inadequate supply of qualified teachers.
H1: There is a significant difference in the scores, on the test of computer science of students in schools with adequate resources and the scores of students in schools with inadequate material resources.
1.6 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The major concern of the study is teaching resources and effective teaching
and learning of computer science in the Junior secondary school usingselected Junior secondary schools in Ogbomoso North and Central Local Government areas of Oyo as a case study. This study should lend to awareness of studying problems of student of the school and prefer corrective measures. It is hoped that the students would be made to realize that learning involves skills perhaps better understanding of what learning is, may shape a learning attitude towards his fellow friends, schools, parents also provide knowledge and general interest for further studies in this area to the need to examine the learning comprehension skills of students with a view to identify the factors responsible for their academic performance. The study is also aimed at making the government realize that their efforts to improve the standard of education will continue to be a mirage if the teaching of learning among other learning skill is neglected in the school course outline. The study is delimited to the cause of poor study habits of high school student and its implication to teaching effectiveness. The investigation include the specific problem such as the profile of respondents the poor study habits of high school student: The effect of their poor study in teaching and learning process. What is the teaching could do to change or improve the student
poor study habits and any suggestion of teacher to improve the students poor study habits There are reason to consider that makes this study important to some groups of people like the teacher, school administrator the parents and education. Student this is because this investigation
may give them in sight concerning the cause and effect of the poor study habits of the student to the teaching and learning process to the result of this study may be very important to teaching
not only in the public school but even those in private sector the result may give these teacher some significant ideas on what they must in case they find some student having poor study habits What teachers should do is to find out the cause of such poor study habits of the pupils and then find for the mass necessary solution to the problems. The teacher after knowing they must talked to the parents about it so their parents could suppressive their weakness on their lessons at home
similarly the result of the study may have be significant to parents because through this they may known what to do to help improve or correct the poor study habits of their student to study their lesson in the night after supper instead of watching television or playing video games. The researchers believes that students, particularly Community primary school Nkwerre will be benefited from the findings of this study since the study provides basis for awareness and better understanding of how their current study habits affected their academic performance. Likewise gives them a more focused and clear perspective on how the specific behaviours related to their studies influenced study habits. Consequently, this awareness also gives a much deeper understanding of their selves as students considering that the college life is typically beset of developmental adjustment demands. School administrators like subject area coordinators, may also be guided in the formulation of future modification of educational policies, curriculum and strategies toward a more effective delivery of learning.
Teachers will also be help in understanding better the diversity of learning of their students. As such, it is hoped that they could develop more effective methodologies in teaching their subject matter.
Guidance and Counseling Centre will also be help by this study through providing a more focused and factual knowledge on the factors affecting students study habits. This increased the understanding of the Guidance Counselors on the interplay of the variables studied in this research. Such knowledge is hoped to help the Guidance and Counseling practitioners towards the development and implementation of more effective programs in consideration of these variables. Students will be given information on how study affects their academic performance. The result of the study will make them aware of the common study habits among their co- education students.
This study is centered on teaching resources and effective teaching and learning of business
studies in the Junior secondary school usingselected Junior secondary schools in Ogbomoso North and Central Local Government areas of Oyo as a case study.
1.8 LIMITATION OF STUDY

INFLUENCE OF PRINCIPAL’S LEADERSHIP STYLES ON PUBLIC SECONDARY SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.0 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The success of any organization is highly rated upon the head, boss or the manager of such an enterprise, like business, school or any organization. The leadership impact is desirable in organization to aid easy and maximum success. Leadership is an instructional used in an organization for behaviour modification.
It determines the goals of organization and means of accomplishing them. Therefore, leadership in organization has been seen as motivator whereby one person who is the head motivates others towards, the achievement of specific goals of the organizations. However, fellowship is the essence of leadership, in other words it is willingness of the people to follow that makes a person a leader. Moreover, people follow those perceived to be providing means of achieving their own desires, wants and needs.
In this case, we can see that leadership and motivation are closely interconnected. Motivation enables us appreciate better what people want and why they act as they do.
In secondary school administration, the success of any school to achieve its stated goals or objectives depends on the ability of the chief administrator otherwise known as the principal and his leadership style.
Effective leadership role provided by the principal will lead to the achievement of the school’s goals and objectives. There is on adage which says “Get the right man in the leadership and your problem will be solved”.
Education among other concern is an instrument for effecting national development. As a gender towards this accomplishment, the national policy on education has been formulated. To achieve the stated aims and objectives of the national policy, all stakeholders in the educational sector have different roles to play. At the grass root level, the management available resources rest solely upon the schools principals inclusive in principals roles is the provision of effective administrative skills which cannot be separated from their leadership styles.
The principals’ leadership styles in secondary schools is a pointer the level of productivity of teachers or their job performance. How effective the principal is in performing these roles has been a mother of concern to many educationists (Aghenta, 2000, Ige, 2001).
With the close review of the setbacks being experienced in some secondary schools, pressure groups are agitating for effective leadership styles. It is glaring that some principals have not considered their styles of leadership as the determinants of teachers job performance level. Hence, some principals seem to find it difficult to effectively administer their schools (Gronn, 2000, Adeyemi 2004).
Every school principal is in a unique position as the manager or administrator of the resources in their schools.
The school administrator is a leader of the staff and the students of the school. He is expected to be knowledgeable in the area of administration and should be in nature. He should be able to address difficult issues or problems of different point in time. Leadership is concerned with human experience and energy in an organized group and the concept is also of prime importance to administration. The leadership style of the principal is demonstrated in his abilities which make him to be recognized as leader of a group. Many people strongly believe even when there is an educational plan, good school programme, adequate staff and facilities, what is more important is good administrative leadership to coordinate all these for the progress and success of the school.
Incase, where the leadership style of the principal is ineffective, even the best school programme, the most adequate resources and the most motivational staff and students will be rendered unproductive.
Therefore, the importance of good leadership style in an organization cannot be overemphasized.
It is highly pertinent to know that leadership style is concerned with the invitation, organization and directions of the members of a group in a specific situation towards achieving the objectives of the group. As far as standard of education is concerned in the country, a large section of the people strongly believe that the standard of evaluation falling and the value of education consequently depreciating. Over the years, different reasons have been given for this decline. The society blamed schools for mass promotion of students and teachers were equally blamed left out of the blamed in that they are not paying enough attention to their children’s academic development.
In addition, the government is also being blamed for the failure to meet the needs of the teachers. As a result to this, teachers spend most of their time doing their private business as instead of reading and preparing their lesson notes. All of which is in a bid to make ends meet in the face of economic challenges. The principals of schools were also blamed for failing to do their jobs in exercising their leadership role in their various schools. In the light of the above, there is the urgent need to investigate the impact of the relationship of the principal’s leadership style on teacher’s morals in term of commitment and productivity in secondary school in Ifo Local Government Area of Ogun State.
Students too not left out of the reason for the blame as most of them are not ready to face their studies as required. Teachers and students level of productivity in school determine how the principals’ administrative role and leadership style are rated. The key for an effective leader is the ability to lead effectively, coordinate a complex situation and show concern through prudent manage of human and material resources available.
According to Koontz (1980) “If all school principals can’t rely upon all the subordinates to contribute toward group goal accomplishment with zeal and confidence, there would be no need to develop the act of leadership”. There is always the need to boost the moral of teachers, which will even make them to serve to their maximum capability.
Therefore, among the administrative functions of the principal is to persuade teachers and use his leadership style to coordinate all activities to ensure they contribute willingly to organizational goals. It worth knowing that the improvement of any educational institution depends on quality of its teachers. The main objectives of any educational system is to promote teaching and learning process. Teachers are therefore expected to be committed to facilitate the teaching process. To ensure the possibility, principals too must provide conductive atmosphere for their teachers. The type of leadership style being operated in the school will make staff in schools to be inspired, zealous and co-operate to work harmoniously with the principal.
Educational objectives can only be achieved with the full co-operation of the school community. effective administrative leadership involves the understanding of the behavior of members.
To be led in any organization or institution of learning. this understanding is necessary especially where team members include professional qualified specialists.
Homan, G.C. and the Human Group: New York Harcourt Brace and World Inc. (1950) stated that belief of people that the efficiency with which any school organization can be operated depends to a large extent on the effectiveness of the teachers on their jobs, both individually and collectively. The issues of teachers performance in the classroom, based on principals leadership style is a concern of this project.
The question of what factor generally influence teachers morale is amply discussed in several literatures a summary of which is simply presented by Lawler (1996) thus:
In addition to being influence by motivation, productivity is affected by workers ability and a number of situational and environmental factors. The objectives of the school will not be achieved if there is no harmony in the school between teachers performance and principal’s leadership style.
Moreover, it will be erroneous to conclude that all school principals in this country fail to acknowledge the significance of good human relation. It is evident that leadership approach vary from one principal to the an other as a result of prevailing situation.
“What can be said to be true about one situational environment may not be true about another. What may be wise action in one situation may be wise action in one situation may be unwise in another. The understanding of the existence of a great variety of patterns, conditions and responses in the beginning of wisdom of approaching the problem of leadership style.
The statement could be viewed as signifying that effective leadership should take into account people, process and the system. The need for effective interaction between the staff and the leader in the school system cannot be overemphasized, when one considers the fact that no school problem can be treated effectively without the involvement of all concerned.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The relationship between principals’ leadership style and teachers’ job performance has been a subject of controversy by many researchers. The controversy was centered on whether or not the style of leadership of principals influences the level of job performance among teachers. Common observation in the school system shows that the style of leadership of a principal could perhaps have serious impact on teachers’ job performance.
1.3 RESEARCH QUESTIONS
1.4 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The extent to which the various leadership approaches by secondary school principals has influenced the teaching learning situation is an important area of investigation. The study will enable us examine the influence of the relationship and the school work and to examine the nature of the principal behavior towards the staff and students and to examine the key position held by principal in school organization.
Finally, it enables to examine the crucially of human input such as teachers to school organization and the damage a principals bad behaviour may do the school organization.
In addition, principals of school are always regarded by their teachers as leaders in the administration and in school board of education, parents and teachers and other various public people usually hold principal responsible for success and failure of school organization. In the light of this, the study finds out the extent to which principal’s style or behavior contribute to high or low performance of both staffs and students in school. The out-come of this study would be of significance to:
i. The practicing educational administrator/principal.
ii. Educational administrators in training and
iii. Local State board and ministry of education officials.
1.5 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
For easy data analysis, cost reduction and avoidance of complexity that may arise due to large population , five schools have been selected. In most cases the characteristics of teachers are generally similar hence this research findings will be generalized to include all teachers in secondary schools.

MANAGEMENT OF INTERNAL SCHOOL SECURITIES BY SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the study
Nigeria in recent times has witnessed an unprecedented level of insecurity. This has made national security threat to be a major issue for the government and has prompted huge allocation of the national budget to security. In order to ameliorate the incidence of crime, the federal government has embarked on criminalization of terrorism by passing the Anti-Terrorism Act in 2011, installation of Computer-based Closed Circuit Television cameras (CCTV) in some parts of the country, enhancement of surveillance as well as investigation of criminal related offences, heightening of physical security measures around the country aimed at deterring or disrupting potential attacks, strengthening of security agencies through the provision of security facilities and the development and broadcast of security tips in mass media (Azazi, 2011). Despite these efforts, the level of insecurity in the country is still high. In addition, Nigeria has consistently ranked low in the Global Peace Index (GPI, 2012), signifying a worsened state of insecurity in the country. Hence, Adagba, et al (2012), Uhunmwuangho and Aluforo (2011) are of the view that the efforts of government have not yielded enough positive result.
With the lingering security challenges and the inability of the security apparatus of the government to guarantee safety and security in the country, the question that borders everyone in Nigeria today is that “can there be security?” Is security of lives and properties achievable? Apparently, the security situation in Nigeria appears or at least have remained insurmountable and many people have argued that government at all levels has not done enough by not confronting the situation head on and dealing with it decisively, others have argued that the situation has a political undertone or inclination calculated to serve the interest of certain political gods, who have been dissatisfied and disgruntled about the political manifestations in the country.
There may have been previous researches in this subject. This work gives further explanations and analysis in management of internal school securities by school administrators
1.To understand the impact of management of internal school securities by school administrators and schools’ educational development.
H0: There is no relationship between management of internal school securities by school administrators and schools’ educational development.
H1: There is a relationship between management of internal school securities by school administrators and schools’ educational development.

CONFLICT RESOLUTION STRATEGIES AND WORK BEHAVIOUR OF SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERS IN CALABAR SOUTH LGA
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the study
Webster’s Dictionary (1983) defined conflict as sharp disagreement or opposition of interests or ideas. According to Meek, Heit and Page (2005), conflict is a disagreement between two or more people or between two or more choices. Similarly, Cannie etal (2002) referred to conflict as a disagreement or struggle between two or more people in a relationship. Hart (2002) wrote that “conflict is a state of opposition, disagreement or incompatibility between two or more people or groups of people which is sometimes characterized by physical violence or assault”. The definitions could be summarized that conflict was condition that arises whenever the perceived interests of an individual or a group clash with those of another individual or a group in such a way that strong emotions are aroused and compromise is not considered to be an option.
The implication to this was that conflict only occurs where there was a struggle characterized by actions and reactions from the two or more opposing groups that results into expressed struggle which means the two sides must be aware of the problem but in opposing contexts for there to be a conflict. Another important indication is that conflict often involves perceptions whereby the two sides may only perceive that their goals, interests, resources and interference are incompatible with each other’s and are appearing to be threatened.
Conflict has some distinctive features that have been identified by researchers such as Lulofs (1994), McCorkle and Mill (1992), McKinney etal (1995) to include the following:
1. Conflict usually requires two sides that are antagonist to each other. This can be through two feelings within an individual, two people or two groups;
2. Conflict inherently involves some sense of struggle or incompatibility or perceived differences among values, goals or desires;
3. Action, whether overt or covert, is the key to any conflict such that until an action or expression occurs; conflict remains latent, lurking below the surface;
4. Power through coercion or attempt to influence through manipulation inevitably occurs within conflict.
More often than not, conflict unfolded when new initiatives are implemented or when there was a change in decision making in a given setup. This was so because people find it unpleasant to change their beliefs or practices that have been adopted for a greater part of their lives, any attempt to change or modify these practices may breed conflict. Tannen and Debora (2003) indicated that conflicts are mostly initiated through change in that where there is a change, there will be conflict since conflict is a natural part of the change process. They argued that conflict does not occur in a vacuum, in other words, there are causes to conflict of any type and perceive conflict and that conflict can be considered as the main vehicle through which change takes place in society. Covey (2002) observed that conflict emerges when one party decides that things are not moving the way it should and seeks a change, which is not agreed to by the other party. This shows that it takes one party to declare a conflict which the other party is drawn into. In this regard, Girard and Koch (1996) asserted that the rapid pace of change in society over the last few decades has far outstripped the human body’s natural evolutionary change rate, hence, the many conflicts in the world.
According to Boulding (1993), the adverse effects that conflict can produce disagreement between people but noted that it also has advantages. Wehlege and Wisconsin (2000) pointed out that conflict is a pivot around which change takes place in workplaces and the society at large because disagreements sharpen focus and defines what the important issues are. Wheeler and Terrence (1995) indicated that suppression of conflict and dissent is a sure sign that freedom is on the decline and democracy is in trouble. Likewise, Aldag and Stearns (1987) explained that theorists and practitioners today view conflict as a useful force in an organization and, if managed correctly, can be a potential force for innovation and change. In disagreeing with the notion that conflict is inherently destructive. Robbins (2000) instead asserted that a certain amount of conflict in an organization is healthy as it prevents the organization from stagnating and from producing myopic decisions.
This positive perspective implies that when conflicts are effectively managed, it can lead to outcomes that are productive and can enhance the health of the organization overtime. Thus, conflict in itself is neither good nor bad in value terms; it is natural, and has an impact on an organization and the behavior of the people in it is largely dependent on the way it is treated. Jenning and Stuart (2004) also agreed to the assertion that conflict is a necessary agent to stimulate change and innovation and that problems and inefficiencies in working will be highlighted by conflict whereas attempts to eliminate conflict can lead to such matters being “swept under the carpet”. Owens (2001) precisely noted that healthy competition and rivalry can lead to better decisions being made as attention is more clearly focused on the issue.
Eccles and Gabbaro (1995) also noted that the impact of such conflict is that groups can become more cohesive and operate more effectively as teams, increasing more group and individual motivation. This in turn, goes a long way to boost standards of performance as a result of commitment and concern to make better decisions (Barker and Gum (1994), Jorgensen and Gail (1990), Hopkins and Raynolds (1995)). These observations imply that the cyclic relationship between conflict and change whereby change determines conflict and conflicts results into further changes has a determining effect on the world’s dynamic processes.
