CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Background to the Study
Technology can be defined as a technical skill or modern ways
or methods of collecting, storing and using information which can
help people to do their work better (Fatokun, 2003). Technology could
be defined as the scientific knowledge used in practical ways in
industry (e.g in designing new machines). Beside technology, science,
the modern discipline embracing the traditional engineering branches,
the agricultural traditional science, the modern discipline relating to
space computer and automation.
From mans earliest emergence, technology has been one of the
four environments within which have lived the other beings.
Technology has changed radically in quality and quantity over the
millennium, for thousands of years, science and technology
constituted distinct traditions. Also technology has been seen as
special branch of human activity in as essential modern phenomenon.
It was used to mean a discussion of the applied art only and gradually
these arts themselves come to be the object of designation when it first
1
7/29/2019 Olaayan Tede Complete
2/34
appeared in English dictionary in the 17th century. (Hamzat et al;
1955)
The impact of modern technology has brought a greats
influence to the lifes of the people and especially the students under
the teaching of new equipments. When modern technology was
invented, some people desired skillfull benefit and their standard of
living also improved, many have second jobs due to the skillful
experience they acquired and it has also given room to people to
establish private jobs.
Statement of the Problem
Besides, the National Policy on Education (NPE, 1998) which
provides that before teaching and learning can take place effectively,
there must be instructional materials to facilitate teaching and
learning. Now one of the hinderances to this is the inadequate
equipments to facilitate teaching and learning of Social Studies.
Because of the problems facing students in handing modern
technology in the teaching and learning of Social Studies, hence the
need to carry out this research.

CHAPTER TWO
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
Introduction
Modern technology in Social Studies itself have different
meaning to different people, some people look at modern technology
as Computer, education. Technology is the process of applying
knowledge to make work easier and to make our lives more
comfortable. Technology began when human beings first shaped its
remain at about 10, 000 years ago when forming came about.
Industrial technology began in the late 1700 with the steam engine
and power machinery. Engineers mastered new technology like steel
making, electricity and the manufacturing of motor cars and aero
planes. Therefore technology has given us the power to control the
environment. It has brought faster communication, transportation and
also the teaching and learning in Social Studies.
What isTechnology?
Technology is as old as human being himself and undergone an
improvement for better goods and services needed by man. This
further brings about quantitative yield and services. Technology can
6
7/29/2019 Olaayan Tede Complete
7/34
be seen as an expert application of scientific knowledge in problem
solving. It is a technique or method of doing something expertly.
The concept of technology education has been defined also in
so many ways and this has made it difficult to find a universally
acceptable definition. The Nigeria National Policy on Education
(NPE,1998) looks at technology education as that aspect of education
that leads to the acquisition of practical and applied skill as well as
basic scientific knowledge.
Education Technology as a complex process involving
procedure, ideas, devices and organization for analyzing problem and
devising, implementing, evaluating and managing solution to
problems involved in all aspect of human learning.
Tickson (1970) cited by Abimbade who described educational
technology as a systematic way of designing, carrying out and
evaluating the total process of learning in terms of the achievement of
specific objectives based on research on human resources to bring
about more effective instruction.
7
7/29/2019 Olaayan Tede Complete
8/34
Technology in education is the use of gadget in the process of
teaching. It involves the use of machine with devices that can
transmit, amplify, distribute record and produce stimulus materials.
Technology of education is an approach which emphasizes the
application of behavioral science theory to education which can be
drawn from psychology and other areas of education including arts
and humanities in support of practical arts of instruction.
The continuing technological changed in our environment
should also be applicable to Social Studies. Teachers and students of
Social Studies should not be victims of this development but should
be prepared for every shock the future hold for their physical,
emotional and theoretical wellbeing.
Information Technology Education
The basic skill of reading, writing and computer are as integral
part on the Social Studies and information technology. Computer
literacy and proficiency in the various applications are emphasized.
Development of human relations, interpersonal employability,
economic and entrepreneurial skill are parts of each of the careers
major opportunities to develop and apply leadership, social civic and
8
7/29/2019 Olaayan Tede Complete
9/34
related skilled are provided through future careers. For Social Studies
students integration of the entire programme with appropriate
concepts courses is strongly encouraged.
Positive Effects of Technology Development on Environment
One of the positive effects of technology development on our
environment is that technology foster opportunities to increase
consumers satisfaction and thereby gain a competitive edge over
organization. Hamzat et al; (1998) opined that many exist that were
not in existence a few years ago, such products include computer,
communication satellites, compact disk, adding machine ,calculating
machine, etc these product also foster the teaching and learning of
Social Studies.
Another effect is that of the explosion of information
technology (such as telephone, cellular phone newly introduced GSM)
which has drastically cheeped many traditional business operations
and also made possible new products trading. Besides, it has made
geographical location of business operators largely irrelevant. In the
business system, in the subject of global business community.
Fatokun (2003) opined that technology has made ability of teaching
9
7/29/2019 Olaayan Tede Complete
10/34
over a thousand of students simultaneously yet from a place through
the computer network. And has the potentials to remove inefficiencies
from transaction and improved ways of communication.
Fatokun (2003) further says that technological development
brought about advanced environments which then reinvested in other
ventures. This development in technology resulted into generating
social project which improves literacy, health as well being of the
environment which stimulate further social and economic
development.
Effects of Technological Development
Nwanko (1994) and Sylvan (1995) noted that technological
development has great positive effects on our society nevertheless
there is also the need for us to know that negative effect of
technological development also exists. No wonder that is why
technological development has been called the process of creative
destruction in that new development.
Okwor (2001) describes one limitation of adopting modern
technology to Social Studies as complex. Finally, technology has
brought about general lack of employment as few hands are required
10
7/29/2019 Olaayan Tede Complete
11/34
due to technological sophistication, even the lack of employment
affects this social studies graduates because of their lack of modern
technology.
Benefits of Teaching and Learning with Modern Technology
There is no doubt that modern technology has improved the
global system of communication. Fatokun (2003) listed the following
benefits of teaching and learning modern technology in social studies.
(i) It allows the teachers and the students to have an insight of
learning with the new equipment.
(ii) It allows the teachers and the students to learns how to
communicates with each other through the internet.
(iii) It allows the students to developed their future careers.
(iv) It brings about the students having more research in
studying modern technology.
(v) It allows students to have knowledge of what makes a
computer function.
(vi)It creates employment opportunities for social studies
graduates after their training outside and within technology
industry.
11
7/29/2019 Olaayan Tede Complete
12/34
(vii) Modern technology has the ability of teaching over a
thousand of students simultaneously, yet from a far place
through the computer network.
(viii) It provides various functions that enhance the social,
economic and political development of the citizen.
(ix)It helps in facilitating learning and exchange of educational
materials.
(x) The on-line system helps students to access class notes,
submit assignment and also join a discussion group with other
learners
(xi) It enables business on the internet.
Why Computer in Education
Computers are preferred today in performing several jobs
within a very short period of time. Among other reasons why
computers are preferred today include the ability to perform duties
repetitively and at the same time with accuracy. The word, internet is
the observation for international network of computers. It is also
abbreviated simply as Net If more than two or three people each
have a computer in front of them and their computers were connected
12
7/29/2019 Olaayan Tede Complete
13/34
to telephone lines, then we have a network of computer in which we
can contact each other to obtain information on just a talk.
Fatokun and Akande (1998) offered the following definition on
internet as the networking of the various computers scattered all over
the world through either leased telephone lines or dial up access.
Internet can also be defined as a local or an international entity
allowing interaction among users separated by an office or an oceans
and facilitating free, exchange of information between one computer
user and many others. Internet can be defined as vast information,
super-highway, enabling computer of all kinds to communicate
directly as if they are part of the grant global computer machines.
Internet is not a service rather a global network of computers that are
able to communicate with each other via common language. It is a fast
growing means of information technology all over the world.
Computer Manage Instruction (CMI)
The need for computer managed instruction (CMI) system of
learning also requires information skill and concept in traditional
ways. The computer can be used for testing, recording and
synthesizing performance record for each learner. In primitive CMI
13
7/29/2019 Olaayan Tede Complete
14/34
system, the computer-generated information is used by teachers to
make individual diagnosis and prescription for learners. In advanced
system, the learner uses the computer and received his or her own
diagnostics and prescription information and many more.
Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI)
This refers to diverse and rapidly expanding spectrum of
computer technologies that assist in the teaching and learning process.
CAI is also known as computer aided instruction. When most of
educators speak of CAI they envision a tutorial application involving
both the learner and the stored program in the computer. The Socratic
model of one teacher and one learner has generally been followed.
The curriculum is offered in such a way that the student is expected to
teach the objective of instruction at the computer terminal without the
study example of CAI application included.
1. Guided drill and practice exercises
2. Computer visualization of complex objects.
14
7/29/2019 Olaayan Tede Complete
15/34
Types of Internet
Dial Up Access
A home computer user will generate a dial up access to connect
to the internet. If you have a dial up access, you have to use a modern
to connect a computer to the internet, Whenever you want to connect
to the internet dial the local number of ISP and the DOT connect you
to the internet, you can have two kinds of connections with ISP; serial
line internet protocol(SLIP) and point preferred.
Dicated Access
Organizations or universities where a large number of users
need to access the internet at the same time for 24hours in a day
require a dicated access to the internet. An institution can connect to
the internet by connecting its DOT through a leased telephone line to
a regional network that connects to the ISP. Once the connection has
been made every computer in the internet is available all the time.
Using Internet for Teaching and Learning.
In order to ensure optimum use of the internet as well as
improve the teaching and learning of Social Studies through the
internet, Fatokun & Akande (1998) gives the following suggestion:
15
7/29/2019 Olaayan Tede Complete
16/34
(i) There should be proper application of information
technology to every aspect of teaching and learning of Social
Studies.
(ii) The teacher should be given good training in the
application of education technology to the teaching and
learning situation of Social Studies. This can be done through
frequent workshops and seminars.
(iii) Institutions at all levels should be equipped with the
internets. This is possible in Nigeria if the government could be
of assistance.
(iv) Computer Assisted instruction (CAI) should be
encouraged and used by teachers.
(v) The government should subsidize the price of
computer and internet connections to enhance reduction of the
cost of connections to the internet and enable students/teachers
and the citizen in general have access to the input devices.
(vi) There is urgent need to review the curriculum of
Social Studies in Nigeria to make provision for emerging
knowledge and technologies.
16
7/29/2019 Olaayan Tede Complete
17/34
Sources of Funding Social Studies Programme in Nigeria
Because of the capital intensive nature of Social Studies
Programme there is very little private participation in the affairs of
education in Nigeria particularly at the tertiary education levels where
there is the need for the government as the sole proprietor of
education institutions to inject more fund into implementing this
programme. Recent happenings in the country such as population
explosion, the increasing demand for admission placements, incessant
strikes by teachers of our schools demanded for improved facilities
and equipment.
Salaries and welfare packages have made government become
over burdened, considering the numbers of such schools in Nigeria.
Source of funding secondary schools education in Nigeria are mainly
from budgetary allocations, consolidated funds, education tax and the
academic charges per-student which cannot meet the basic need of the
schools compared to what is obtained in the other parts of the world,
as a result of the increasing demand for access to secondary education
due to population explosion, and the need for rehabilitation,
17
7/29/2019 Olaayan Tede Complete
18/34
restoration and consolidation of secondary education. Some of the
sources already considered by the Commission report must be
compelled to broaden their income generation that could make them
self-sustaining to a reasonable degree and this will lessen the burden
on government for basic requirement of such programme.
Conclusion
The research can therefore be concluded that the lack of funds,
lack of textbooks and time, lack of specialized teachers are some of
the problems facing modern technology in the teaching and learning
of Social Studies. And to be more skillful, modern technology should
be taught in all secondary schools and tertiary institutions.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter discusses the method and procedure of enquires
used in this study. It also gives a description of research design,
population of the study, sample and sampling techniques, research
instrument, validity and reliability of instrument, data collection and
method of data analysis.
Research Design
The design of the study is descriptive survey, and this is
because it involves the process of obtaining information from various
groups of persons through questionnaire. The researchers, by using
this research design, collected detailed and factual information from
the various concerned groups on the implication of modern
technology on the teaching and learning of Social Studies.
Population of the Study
The population of the study consisted of four hundred (400)
students of the selected four schools in Atisbo Local Government
19
7/29/2019 Olaayan Tede Complete
20/34
Secondary Schools, Oyo State. The students were selected with both
sexes proportionately represented.
Sample and Sampling Technique
A random sampling technique was used to select one hundred
and twenty (120) participants from the four(4) junior secondary
schools for this research work.
Research Instrument
The research instrument used for collection of data was
questionnaire; the questionnaire was designed and administered by the
researcher which facilitated easy response to some questions by the
students. The questionnaire was in form of a statement for the
respondents to select the most acceptable option.
SA= Strongly Agree
A= Agree
D= Disagree
SD= Strongly Disagree.
The point gives was used to calculate the response of the
respondents which enable the researcher to get the most appropriate
analysis of the respondents.

Validity and Reliability of the Instrument
The validity and reliability of the instrument was established
with thorough study and analysis to ensure that the questions drawn
contain the necessary information. Also the reliability of the
instrument was established through test-retest method.
Method of Data Collection
Administration of questionnaire for data collection was carried
out by the researcher. The researcher collected data for this study from
the students in the schools under study. The questionnaire was
administrated personally and was adopted because it gives better
information from the respondents.
Method of Data Analysis
The researcher made use of simple percentage in analyzing the
data collected. The choice of this method is based on its simplicity
because it does not involve any complex mathematical or statistical
calculations. From the percentage system, one easily knows the items

Conclusion
In conclusion modern technology foster the teaching and
learning of social studies courses provided that modern technology
equipment are available and probably each student can have access to
at least one stable computer to work on and manipulate it at any given
time. This will undoubtedly bring positive effects to the teaching and
learning of social studies in all our secondary schools.
However qualified teachers should be appointed and in
subsequent time they should be given privilege of training because the
world is getting acquitted to new idea on daily basis. Therefore the
teachers should be given such opportunities to foster the teaching and
learning of social studies.

33/34
The federal government should assist the schools in supplying
equipment in teaching and learning social studies to improve the
performance of students.
The school authority should as much as possible try to give
proper maintenance to the few ones supplied by the government to
avoid breakdown of these equipments.
More emphasis should be made on technology in education
by equip their laboratory with modern equipment.
The information technology teachers should be encouraged to
attend seminars, workshops and in-service training so as to be
acquitted with more knowledge and new development in information
technology.
Students in social studies classes should be made to attend and
participate in training in information technology apart from making
the course as compulsory subjects in the curriculum.
