Abstract

Purpose: The study focused on bridging the generational gap between the teachers and students in the utilization of modern technology in the teaching methods in secondary schools in Delta State. Two research questions were raised and two null hypotheses were formulated in the study. Methodology: The descriptive survey design was used. The population for this study comprised all public secondary school principals and teachers in Delta State. The sample for this study was 1533 and it is made up of 100 principals and 1433 teachers in Delta State public secondary schools selected from 12 Local Government Areas. Principals represented 50% while teachers represent 10% of the population. A self developed questionnaire was design titled “Bridging the Generational gap between the Teachers and Students in the Utilization of Modern Technology Questionnaire (BGTSUMTQ)”, validated and its reliability equally determined via a pilot study using test re-test reliability technique with a coefficient index of 0.96 was used. The research questions raised were answered using percentage for the study. The researcher employed descriptive statistic of mean scores and standard deviation to provide answers to the research questions while Pearson Product Moment Statistics was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. Findings: The findings revealed that there are factors that are associated with the utilization of modern technology in teaching methods in public secondary schools in Delta State. The use of technology in education is influenced by the following factors such as teacher factor, organizational factor, technological factor and student factor. It also showed that there are strategies to be adopted to improve teachers and students in the utilization of modern technology in teaching methods in public secondary schools in Delta State. Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: Based on the findings, it therefore concluded that as a catalyst for massive change, technology has improved our existing understanding by assisting educators and students in making the most use of cutting-edge teaching techniques in Delta State public secondary schools.
在三角州公立中学的教学方法中利用现代技术缩小师生之间的代沟
目的:本研究的重点是缩小三角州中学教师和学生在教学方法中利用现代技术方面的代沟。研究中提出了两个研究问题和两个零假设。研究方法:采用描述性调查设计。研究对象包括三角州所有公立中学校长和教师。本研究的样本为 1533 个,由从 12 个地方政府选取的三角州公立中学的 100 名校长和 1433 名教师组成。校长占 50%,教师占 10%。我们设计了一份自行编制的问卷,名为 "缩小师生在利用现代技术方面的代沟问卷(BGTSUMTQ)",并通过试点研究使用测试再测试可靠性技术对其进行了验证和可靠性测定,其系数指数为 0.96。本研究使用百分比来回答提出的研究问题。研究人员使用了平均分和标准差的描述性统计来回答研究问题,同时使用了皮尔逊乘积矩统计在 0.05 的显著性水平上检验假设。研究结果研究结果表明,三角洲州公立中学在教学方法中使用现代技术存在一些相关因素。教育技术的使用受到以下因素的影响,如教师因素、组织因素、技术因素和学生因素。研究还表明,三角州公立中学教师和学生在教学方法中使用现代技术的情况有待改进。对理论、实践和政策的独特贡献:根据研究结果,我们得出结论,技术作为大规模变革的催化剂,通过帮助教育工作者和学生在三角州公立中学充分利用最前沿的教学技术,改善了我们现有的认识。
