Abstract:
The study investigated Teachers' perception on the use of Computer-Based Instructional Strategies for Teaching of Physics in senior secondary schools in Makurdi Local Government Area of Benue State. Four objectives were set for the study which are to determine the number of schools that used Computer Based Instructional Strategies teaching and learning physics in secondary schools, determine the extent teachers adopt the use of Computer Based Instructional Strategies for teaching and learning physics in secondary schools, examine teacher's perception on whether the use of Computer Based Instructional Strategies promotes effective lesson planning and classroom management, examine teachers perception on the use of Computer Based Instructional Strategies promotes effective lesson planning and classroom management. A total number of 128 Physics teachers were used for experimentation (descriptive survey). A convenient sample method was used with sample size of 128. Data was analyze using frequency counts, percentage, and inferential statistics of Chi-square(x2). The result shows that the findings reveals the extent teachers adopt the use of computer based instructional strategies for teaching and learning physics in secondary schools is low. Computer-Based instructional Strategies by teachers on students in Makurdi LGA and the use of Computer-Based Instructional Strategies can be effective when implemented among secondary school Physics teachers in Makurdi LGA and there exist a significant difference between student taught using computer based instructional strategies and those taught using other instructional strategies. The study concluded that; there is no awareness among physics teachers in the use of Computer-Based Instructional Strategies for teaching of physics in Makurdi Local Government Area of Benue State. Computer-Based Instructional Strategies is not in use among physics teachers in Makurdi LGA, the use of Computer-Based instructional Strategies among secondary school teachers can be very effective in Makurdi LGA and there is significant difference between student taught using computer based instructional strategies and those taught using other instructional strategies. The study recommended that awareness should be created in Makurdi Local Government Area of Benue State on the use of significant difference between student taught using computer based instructional strategies and those taught using other instructional strategies in the teaching of physics. Computer-Based Instructional Strategies should be use in the teaching of Physics in senior secondary schools in Makurdi Local Government Area of Benue State. Professionals should be employed in the use of Computer-Based Instructional Strategies to boost students performance Makurdi Local Government Area of Benue State.
