THE NEED FOR
AN EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM IN TEACHING AND LEARNING (E-LEARNING)
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
According to
DfES e-Learning Strategy Unit (2003), e-Learning exploits interactive
technologies and communication systems to improve the learning experience. It
has the potential to transform the way people teach and learn across the board.
It can raise standards, and widen participation in lifelong learning. It cannot
replace teachers and lecturers, but alongside existing methods it can enhance
the quality and reach of their teaching, and reduce the time spent on
administration. It can enable every learner to achieve his or her potential,
and help to build an educational workforce empowered to change. It makes possible
a truly ambitious education system for a future learning society. It is on this
note of positive advantages of e-learning and the need for an effective
communication system in teaching and learning that necessitated this research.
Technology
has revolutionized the way people work and is now set to transform education.
Children cannot be effective in tomorrow’s world if they are trained in
yesterday’s skills. Nor should teachers be denied the tools that other
professionals take for granted (Tony Blair, 1998).
According to
Paige (2002), a click of a mouse button provides any student anywhere with
unprecedented opportunities to learn. So if a child in Grand Junction wants to
master Japanese, it’s possible online. If a budding artist in Five Points wants
to study the masterpieces of the Louvre, it’s possible online. If a future
Stephen Hawking in La Junta wants to study Gravitational Entrophy with the man
himself, it’s possible online. If military parents want continuity in their
children’s education throughout frequent moves to serve our country, then it’s
possible online.’
Since the
Internet was adopted and further developed as a means of communication by
educational institutions in the 1970s, academics have been aware of its massive
potential as a learning tool (Horton, 2005). In recent years, governments of
both developed and under-developed nations have become increasingly excited
about the possibilities of e-learning to deliver cost effective, easily
accessible and ever-current education to all ages and social backgrounds,
regardless of time and geography.
E-learning
has been a useful tool for an effective communication system in teaching and
learning (Jung, 2002). E-Learning is the employment of technology to aid and
enhance learning. It can be as simple as secondary school students watching a
video documentary in class or as complex as an entire university course
provided online. e-Learning began decades ago with the introduction of
televisions and over-head projectors in classrooms and has advanced to include
interactive computer programmes, 3D simulations, video and telephone
conferencing and real-time online discussion groups comprised of students from
all over the world. As technology advances, so does e-learning, making the
possibilities accruable from it endless (Olaniyi, 2006).
Education is
regarded as one of the most important factors for poverty reduction and
economic growth in developing countries but effective communication system is
needed for teaching and learning to ensure quality education. The use of
effective Communication System for dissemination of education is considered to
have great potential for the government that is seeking to satisfy a growing
demand for education while facing a deficiency of teachers (Rich, 2008). Today,
the development of the communication system into a worldwide, high-speed,
multimedia communication platform (internet) has enabled the development of
e-Learning as an effective teaching and learning mechanism. E-Learning started
to have an important role in creating and promoting learning communities due to
the new and effective communication tools that provides more accessibility and
efficiency in the learning process, for both teachers and learners.
E-Learning
includes numerous types of media that deliver text, audio, images, animation,
and streaming video, and includes technology applications and processes such as
audio or video tape, satellite TV, CD-ROM, and computer-based learning, as well
as local intranet/extranet and web-based learning (Suleiman, 2012). All these
devices are tools that enhance effective communication in schools. Effective
communication systems, whether free-standing or based on either local networks
or the Internet in networked learning, underlay many e-Learning processes. The
researcher is thereby examining the need for the devices to promote effective
communication system in teaching and learning in Emmanuel College, Owerri.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
For a very
long time successive governments in Nigeria have consistently formulated
Policies which were directed towards ensuring that there are equal and adequate
educational opportunities at all levels. In view of these, the government has
also realized the need for an effective communication system in teaching and
learning in secondary schools. These can be seen in their investment in
communications gadgets for schools. But the researcher is of the opinion that
these communication gadgets are only available in schools for few students. The
researcher is therefore examining the effect of an effective communication
system (e-learning) on teaching and learning. Moreover, several studies has
been carried out on the communications systems, ICT, teaching and learning and
even e-learning all over the world but no research of such has been conducted
in Emmanuel College, Owerri.
1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The
following are the objectives of this study:
To examine
the need for the use of effective communication system in teaching and learning
in Emmanuel Secondary school Owerri.
To examine
the impact of e-learning on effective teaching and learning at Emmanuel
College, Owerri.
To determine
the level of use of e-learning and other effective communication tools in
Emmanuel College, Owerri.
To examine
the factors limiting the students access to e-learning tools in Emmanuel
College, Owerri.
1.4 RESEARCH QUESTIONS
Is there a
need for the use of effective communication system in teaching and learning in
Emmanuel Secondary school Owerri?
What is the
impact of e-learning on effective teaching and learning at Emmanuel College,
Owerri?
What is the
level of use of e-learning and other effective communication tools in Emmanuel
College, Owerri?
What are the
factors limiting the students access to e-learning tools in Emmanuel College,
Owerri?
1.5 HYPOTHESIS
HO: There is
no significant relationship between the use of e-learning tools and effective
teaching and learning at Emmanuel College, Owerri.
HA: There is
significant relationship between the use of e-learning tools and effective
teaching and learning at Emmanuel College, Owerri.
1.6 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The
following are the significance of this study:
The results
from this study will be useful to the government of Nigeria and policy makers
in education on the need for an effective communication system for teaching and
learning in secondary schools in the country especially the rural areas. It
will also educate the need for massive investments in provision of e-learning
tools like computers, TV, internet access, etc for secondary school students to
aid effective teaching and learning.
This
research will be a contribution to the body of literature in the area of the
need for an effective communication system in teaching and learning and
e-learning, thereby constituting the empirical literature for future research
in the subject area.
1.7 SCOPE/LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
This study
is limited to Emmanuel College, Owerri. It will cover the school’s needs in
communication information system and the consequences they suffer for not
having such gadgets. It will also cover the school’s level of application of
e-learning
