THE EFFECTS
OF TEACHING TECHNIQUES IN TEACHING ECONOMICS IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the study
Teaching at
any level of education is to bring a fundamental change in the learner (Tebabal
and Kahssay, 2011). To facilitate the process of knowledge transmission,
teachers are to apply appropriate teaching technique that best suit specific
objectives and level of outcomes. In the traditional epoch, many teaching
practitioners widely applied teacher-centered methods to impact knowledge to
the learners compared to student-centered technique. Research on teaching and
learning constantly endeavours to examine the extent to which different
teaching technique enhance growth in student learning (Hightower, 2011). Quite
remarkably, rampant poor academic performance by the majority of students is
fundamentally linked to application of ineffective teaching technique by
teachers to impact knowledge to learner (Adunola, 2011). Effectiveness of
teaching technique indicates that the quality of teaching is often reflected on
the achievement of learners. According to Ayeni, (2011); teaching is a process
that involves bringing about desirable changes in learners to achieve specific
outcomes. Adunola (2011), maintains that teachers need to be conversant with
numerous teaching methods that take recognition of the magnitude of complexity
of the concepts to be covered, if teaching is to be effective. It is likely
true that successful learning depends on various factors other than that of the
teacher. The technique that a teacher uses continues to play an important role
in students’ learning and in their academic achievement. The challenges that
educators face in the 21st century are so diverse that using better teaching
methods is more crucial now than ever before.Demonstration method of teaching
is one of the many teaching learning style under the investigation or activity
based. Demonstration method involves showing by reason or proof, explaining or
making clear by use of examples or experiments, it means “to clearly show”. It
is a method which is capable of improving learning through its diversity effect
activity. Demonstration technique often occurs when students have a hardtime
connecting theories to actual practice or when students are unable to
understand application of theories. This method enables concepts and processes
to be observed directly, which in turn makes learning easier.When teaching
Economics in secondary School, teachers are often facing various problems
related on how they can make their students understand basic economic
phenomena, relevant terms and their application in everyday life. In order to
overcome such problems, teachers must discover and apply new teaching
techniques which are compatible with the needs, the interests and the abilities
of their students. Our proposing method is a combination of teaching through
art, cooperative and experiential learning and project method. The proposed
technique is based on a research that was carried out in a senior high school
and has remarkable results regarding the didactic methodology. The purpose of
this paper is to present this innovative technique, to investigate the
perceptions and attitudes of students during this teaching process and to
examine the extent to which this technique can contribute to the improvement of
teaching and learning.
1.2
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Teachers
have the greatest potential to influence the students’ education, while a
student achievement is related to teachers’ competence in using different
techniques of teaching. Thus, students achieve more when teachers employ
systematic teaching procedures that make teaching and learning processes
easier. Excellent academic performance by the students is not only attainable
but could also be sustained through teacher’s technique of teaching.The incidence
of ineffective teaching of Economics in senior secondary school has resulted to
poor achievement in both internal and external examinations. Most teacher while
teaching do not involve the learners, learners merely absorb what is given to
them, this makes them passive and less receptive, it does not encourage
investigation and verification of facts, students’ knowledge is limited to what
their teacher teach them. Teachers must stimulate, encourage and maintain
active participation of students through the selection of appropriate teaching
technique.Students’ negative attitudes towards learning may be related to
techniques of teaching used. Varying factors ranging from socio-economic
background, intelligence, attitudes of students to teaching methods employed by
teachers have been attributed to poor achievement. Every teachers’ desire is to
make sure that teaching-learning process take place positively in the
classroom, this depend on his/her approach towards learning situations. The
teacher does not teach the most relevant, meaningful and useful materials for
specific students, he must recognize and adopt a good and well-researched
technique of teaching that guarantees better understanding and also stimulates
and motivate the students.
1.3
OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
The
objectives of the study are;
1. To ascertain the relation between teaching
technique and student academic performance
2. To ascertain the relationship between the
use of assignment technique and students’ learning effectiveness in economics.
3. To determine the relationship between the
use of questioning technique and the students’ learning effectiveness in
learning economics
4. To ascertain whether teachers’ teaching
technique affect student academic performance
1.4 RESEARCH
HYPOTHESES
For the
successful completion of the study, the following research hypotheses were
formulated by the researcher;
H0:
teachers’ teaching technique does not affect student academic performance
H1:
teachers’ teaching technique affects student academic performance
H02:there is
no relationship between the use of questioning technique and the students’
learning effectiveness in learning economics
H2:there is
relationship between the use of questioning technique and the students’
learning effectiveness in learning economics
1.5
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
It is
expected that the findings of this study will be of immense benefit not only to
the researcher but also to numerous people in the society and in the
educational sector. The findings will be of great importance to students, in
that; they will be well informed about various teaching techniques, and the
effects will be on their academic performance.Findings will be of great
importance to educationist both private and public stakeholders, teachers. It
will help increase awareness and understanding the use of the most of the
teaching technique and provide feedback on the teaching competences in most
commonly used teaching methods as a basis for improvement in instructional
practice to enhance performance.Curriculum designers, educational planner’s
policy makers as well as government need empirical data on the overall teaching
method and activity teaching competence of government teachers in senior
secondary schools to facilitate proper curriculum policies and programmes for
effective teaching and learning.Findings of his study will be of great benefit
to school counsellors for proper guidance on effective teaching method to be
adopted according to the needs of the students that could positively influence
teaching and learning.
1.6 SCOPE
AND LIMITATION OF THE STDUDY
The scope of
the study covers the effects of teaching techniques in teaching economics in
secondary schools. The researcher encounters some constrain which limited the
scope of the study;
a)
AVAILABILITY OF RESEARCH MATERIAL: The research material available to the
researcher is insufficient, thereby limiting the study
b) TIME: The
time frame allocated to the study does not enhance wider coverage as the
researcher has to combine other academic activities and examinations with the
study.
c)
Organizational privacy: Limited Access to the selected auditing firm makes it
difficult to get all the necessary and required information concerning the
activities.
