CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the study
Teaching of biology at the secondary school requires a sound background in theory and practical aspects by the teachers of biology. The new 6-3-3- 4 system requires that biology be taught as pre-vocational subject at the primary and junior secondary schools and as a vocational subject in senior secondary school level (National Policy on Education, 2004).
The relationship between teaching and learning is at the heart of the education process. Each teacher and student is an individual and as such will have their own ideas and preferences with regards to teaching approaches and how they like to learn. It should never be assumed that because you have clear intended outcomes for a session that you teach this will necessarily be what students will learn. Each of us responds differently to learning situations. Some, for example, will enjoy learning in mathematics lessons and will respond to mathematical ideas with ease, while finding reading difficult; others will respond well in practical learning situations, while finding the accumulation of information from graphical representation difficult. Good teachers have recognised the challenges presented by these factors for a long time and have learned to plan their lessons in ways which address a range of preferred learning styles and which present opportunities for students to tackle learning in a variety of ways. Martin and Odubiya (1991) suggests that it is not always easy to define good teaching practice. Teachers may appear to be well organised and efficient but this in itself will not guarantee that students learn. Teaching and learning are complex processes that are subject to many social, cultural and economic influences. In order to succeed, effective teachers need to vary their teaching approaches, to be adaptable and to be vigilant in gauging how students respond to their teaching style, the resources they use and the environment in which they are working.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
In essence, the competence of computer teachers could be measured, apart from their knowledge of the subject, in terms of the care and maintenance of computers in their care. Since no empirical evidence has been provided to support these areas among teachers of computer in secondary schools. It is against this background that this study was designed to investigate the availability of teachers and laboratory facilities for effective teaching and learning of biologyin junior secondary schools in Nigeria. In addition, the study investigated the facilities possessed by the secondary schools in the teaching of biology. Towards this end, the following research questions were addressed to direct the study.
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
The purpose of the project is to determine the facilities for effective teaching and learning of biologyin Junior Secondary Schools in Nigeria.
Specifically the study tends to:-
- Ø Assess the degree of the availability of teachers and laboratory facilities in Junior Secondary Schools in Nigeria.
- Ø Determine the source of supply of biologylaboratory facilities in Junior Secondary Schools in Nigeria.
- Ø Determining the extent of utilization of the available biologyequipment for effective teaching and learning.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
It is the researchers wish repair the materials that will highlight the needs for making available the laboratory equipment for teaching biology.
It is also hoped that the result of this will highlight the extent to which availability of biologylaboratory equipment helps teachers ton achieve higher performance in the teaching of integrated sciencein Junior Secondary School and those who want to be self employed. This study will be of assistance to the educational planners it will help them to make necessary changes in terms of providing funds, staff recruitment, development and the availability of teachers.
The finding of the study will also provide solutions to the problems of unavailability of teachers and laboratory facilities in order to promote the effectiveness of teaching and learning in junior Secondary Schools in Nigeria.
RESEARCH QUESTION
The following research question guided the study:
· To what extent are integrated scienceteachers available in Junior Secondary School in Nigeria.
· What are the sources of supply of integrated scienceor the availability of integrated sciencelaboratory facilities in Junior Secondary School in Nigeria.
· To what extent does availability of teachers and laboratory facilities are effective to the teaching and learning of this subject (biology)
HYPOTHESES
HO1: There is no significant relationship between teachers’ competency on computer and their availability secondary schools.
HO2: There is no significant relationship between teachers’ proficiency and biologyin secondary schools.
SCOPE OF THE STUDY
This study will be limited to junior secondary schools that are offering biologyin Nigeria and to serve as sampling techniques to other Junior Secondary Schools offerings biologyin Secondary Schools.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
The major challenge facing science educators and researchers in the state is the underachievement in science subjects among the secondary school students. Science is an umbrella covering many subject areas including physics, chemistry, biology, and mathematics. For stance Sweeny (2003) declared that of particular science education, as suggested by the number of students who successfully pass secondary level science examination. He further stated that a cursory review of state examination council (SEC) results in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics for the past ten years indicates that pass rates have for the most part fallen below 50% in these science subjects.
The underachievement was even more pronounced in high school students attitude to use of technology in science teaching, internet in science and study habits as determinates of science achievements. Therefore there is need for researchers that seek to search for variables with a view to understanding their interactions and suggesting how they can be applied to arrest the underachievement’s in science subjects. Interestingly, it has been suggested that technology be utilized in science classrooms as a means of increasing the levels of achievements of students in science classes, King and Bennet (1991). Now the integration of technology in teaching is no longer a new particularly the use of computer technology has move beyond computer assisted instruction in the form of tutorial or drill or practice. According to Rdgers (2010) today’s technology can provide teachers and students with the opportunity for teaching and learning in high school students attitude to use of technology in science teaching. Rodgers further stated that three advantages that have been found regarding technology in the classroom includes;
1. Educators use technology in the classroom because its wide range of uses and form has potential to reach students of all learning styles as well as make the teaching to be more efficient.
2. The interest and motivation that technology induces in students makes its use in schools.
3. Extensive studies and models schools, according to Rodgers have shown that educational technology enhances students learning in many cases. In the report on effectiveness of technology in schools 1990-1994 the researchers found that technology can lead to improvement in performance, most notably in chemistry and mathematics.
An investigation of students conceptions have been a major feature of educational research to inform curriculum change and developments in science technology and technology education. (Oshorne, Simmon & Collins, 2003). However Jones (1996) noted that the interaction between the use of technology and learning may be complex and depends on a number of factors. One of the factors is students interest in science. According to Bulunuz and Jarret (2009) there is a connection between interest and effort. In otherworld’s, the more a person is interested in a subject, the more effort he will put into it. He further described an interested person as being engaged engrossed or entirely taken up by an activity because of its recognized worth. Therefore, interest can be regarded as a tool through which the distance between the person and materials is annihilated facilitating an organism union between the two.
Okpala and Onocha (1988) Olatoye and Ogunkola (2008) indicated that study habits make a significant contribution to the prediction of science achievement. This implies that if a chemistry students exhibits negative study habits e.g. lacks concentration, feel bored, tired and sleepy while studying chemistry, spends little time in chemistry and does not map out immediate goals to attain, it is likely that the students may lack the impetus to engage adequately in productive chemistry learning. During allocated school time and during his personal study time. Science teaching should be encourage in Nigeria secondary schools since the study of science among other things infuse desirable qualifies into Nigeria students, such achievement will be very beneficial not only the individual students but to the nation as a whole.
Josemon (2006) defined attitude as a way of thinking and general behaviour. This is also applied to secure either positively or negatively towards the study of science. Science subjects were introduced into secondary schools all over the country so as to make more students get a sound background from the secondary and to encourage them offer science base on the course in educational institution.
1.2 STATEMENT OF PROBLEMS
This study was designed to determine if the level of science achievement of the students in Oredo Local Government Area was satisfactory or not. To achieve this, the following statement of problems have be formulated for the study.
1. Is there any significant differences in the students science achievement based on attitude to use of technology ni science teaching, interest in science and study habit.
2. Is there a significant difference between the attitude of male and female students towards the study of science.
3. Does teaching method contribute to the significant differences between the female and male attitude.
4. Does lack of well equipped laboratories contribute to the attitude of male and female towards science?
1.3 PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
The study is geared towards determining t he attitude of students in secondary schools towards the teaching of science subjects in Oredo Local Government Area of Edo State. Science subjects are the vehicles to technological development and scientific innovation. There are other areas where good knowledge of science is a must; such areas include manufacturing nuclear power, production Medicare. The story is also expected to find out if the technology method used in imparting knowledge also affects the performance of students in Chemistry. It is also intended to find out how such problem can be overcome by making some necessary correction and by giving recommendations.
1.4 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
It is then hoped that the finding will enable the government, federal and state, make concrete decisions towards making science more interesting to the students. The study will not be small to measure, also encourage students as well as educate them about fear of the unknown that frightened them away from science. This is because most students tends to be frightened by the subject at the end of the study findings would enable parents to play some active role in terms of guidance and counselling for their children along certain areas of study. It will be great benefits of the government and educational administrator.
1.5 RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS
This research work is to investigate the attitude of secondary school students to science and subsequently science teaching recorded by science students in Oredo Local Government Area of Edo State.
1. There are no significant difference between the attitude of male and female students towards the study of science because of poor equipped science laboratory.
2. There are no significant difference between the attitude of male and female students towards the study of science because of presence of inadequacy of qualified science teacher.
3. Students attitude towards the subject affect the teaching of science.
4. Lack of teaching aids in the school and non-utilization of the available teaching aids affects teaching of science subject in school.
5. There is no significant difference between the attitude of male and female students towards the study of science because of age differences.
1.6 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
This study is limited to some selected secondary schools in Oredo Local Government Area. These include;
1. Idia College, Benin City
2. Baptist High School, Benin City
3. Oredo Girls Grammar School, Benin City
4. Emotan College, Benin City
5. Garrick Memorial Secondary School, Benin City.
1.7 DEFINITION OF TERMS
