Infrastructural Innovations And Effective Teaching And Learning Of Secondary Schools Subjects In Ogun State, Nigeria
Keywords:
facilities, teaching, learning, innovation, InfrastructureAbstract
This study compared infrastructural innovations in Junior and Senior Secondary
Schools as a panacea for effective teaching in Ogun State. It investigated the type
of infrastructure that was available in Ogun State Secondary Schools in the past
and the current innovations so far made. Equally, it examined the activities of the
State and the Local Government in the provision of infrastructure. Descriptive
survey method and questionnaire were adopted for the purpose of the study. The
analysis of the result using simple percentage showed among others that there
was no record pertaining to infrastructural provision to secondary schools in
Ogun State prior 2003. However, from 2003 up to 2009, records revealed that
appreciable infrastructural facilities were provided to both junior and senior
secondary schools in the State. This notwithstanding, it was concluded that the
infrastructural and institutional materials available for teaching and learning in
post primary schools in the study area were grossly inadequate and where they
were available, may not convey standard and quality message. It is plausible
therefore for the State government through the Ministry of Education to make
adequate provision of infrastructural facilities to enhance effective teaching and
learning.
