Abstract

This paper investigated the availability of multimedia instructional technologies for entrepreneurship training of Office Technology and Management (OTM) students of polytechnics in South-East Nigeria. One research question was posed and one corresponding null hypothesis formulated for testing at 0.05 level of significance.Descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study and 86 Office Technology and Management (OTM) lecturers in both Federal- and State-owned polytechnics in South-East, Nigeria that offer entrepreneurship courses were studied without sampling. A structured questionnaire was used for data collection. The reliability of the instrument was established though trial-testing and calculation using Cronbach alpha method that yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.78. Data collected were analyzed using frequency count and percentages, mean, standard deviation, Chi-square and t-test. The results showed that majority (56%) of multimedia instructional technologies were not available in OTM departments for entrepreneurship training of OTM students. The findings also revealed that ownership of the institutions was not a significant factor on the availability of audio, visual and audio-visual instructional technologies for entrepreneurship training of OTM students in polytechnics in South-East Nigeria. Based on the findings, the researcher concluded that OTM students in polytechnics in South East Nigeria were taught entrepreneurship without necessary and required multimedia instructional technologies and this affected their entrepreneurship success upon graduation. It was recommended among others that Federal and State governments should support polytechnics in Nigeria to procure multimedia instructional technologies since their acquisition is cost intensive and cannot be procured by OTM Departments of the institutions.

多媒体教学技术的提供与东南理工学院办公室技术和管理(otm)学生创业培训之间的关系;尼日利亚

本文调查了尼日利亚东南部理工学院办公室技术与管理(OTM)学生创业培训的多媒体教学技术的可用性。提出一个研究问题，制定一个相应的零假设，在0.05显著性水平上进行检验。本研究采用描述性调查研究设计，对尼日利亚东南部提供创业课程的联邦和国有理工学院的86名办公室技术和管理(OTM)讲师进行了无抽样研究。数据收集采用结构化问卷。通过试验检验和Cronbach alpha法计算，建立了仪器的信度，相关系数为0.78。收集的资料采用频率计数和百分比、平均值、标准差、卡方检验和t检验进行分析。结果显示，大多数(56%)的多媒体教学技术在OTM部门无法用于OTM学生的创业培训。调查结果还显示，机构的所有权并不是影响尼日利亚东南部理工学院OTM学生创业培训的视听和视听教学技术可得性的重要因素。基于研究结果，研究人员得出结论，尼日利亚东南部理工学院的OTM学生在没有必要和必要的多媒体教学技术的情况下接受了创业教育，这影响了他们毕业后的创业成功。除其他外，有人建议联邦和州政府应支持尼日利亚的理工学院采购多媒体教学技术，因为这些技术的采购成本很高，而且不能由各院校的OTM部门采购。
