ABSTRACT
This
research investigated computer education and administrative performance in
public secondary schools in Oorelope Local Government Area, Oyo State. Related
literature to the study was reviewed and the major variables and concepts
related to the study were equally discussed such as concepts of computer,
concepts of education, concept of Administrative performance and administrative
functions in Public Secondary Schools. Descriptive Survey of correlation type of
design was used in this study, respondents were sampled from seven Public
Secondary Schools in Oorelope Local Government Area, Oyo state and the use of
two sets of instruments. Computer Education Questionnaire (CEQ) Administration
Performance Questionnaire (APQ) For the principals and teachers and stratified
random sampling technique was used to select 217 (43%) participants out of 506
population. One main hypothesis and five operational hypothesis were formulated
and tested using Pearson product moment correlation co-efficient at 0.05 level
of significance. The study revealed that there is significant relationship
between computer education and administrative performance in Public Secondary
School in Oorelope Local Government Area, Oyo State. The study recommended that
Head teachers and teachers should work together as a team towards enhancing the
determination of computer in school administration. The Government and all
educational stakeholders should also be involved in the provision of computer
materials and infrastructure in order to create conducive environment for its
determination.

CHAPTER ONE
Background of
the Study
Currently in Nigeria, the complexity of
organisational functions has shown the need for management information system, which
could enhance the realisation of organisational objectives. Information flows
is the bedrock of any organisation because adequate and good information assist the
administrator/manager to make sound decisions. Thus, the computer has made management functions relatively easier.
Aliche (2009) defines information technology
as the electro-manual method, which operates with the use and application of
computers with a mechanical system in sending information, receiving messages,
storing data and statistics and ensuring that the data stored are readily
retrievable as at when needed (P.I).
Akinyemi (2012) pointed out that the impact of
computer are great and include greater efficiency, high quality products,
increased productivity and convenience of operation as well as better services
delivery. Thus it is a means through which educational problems are taken care of.
Therefore, it is the application of technology to solve educational problems. Indeed, there
is rapid development of computer which are boost to information handling and
processing as well as educational management.
Olowe (2012) opined that computer is an
incredible and fundamental tool in addressing issue at ease and faster rate.
This of course, has been the strategy that has adopted by administration of
secondary schools to see to the effectiveness and efficiency in the
administration.
According to Bukoye (2008), computer
education in Nigeria can be applied as an integrated learning system through drills and
practice, tutorial and dialogue system, information handling, simulation and
gaining. The state of computer literacy in Nigeria can be traced to
the year 1964, when the I.B.M 1401 computer was to first donate to the University of Ibadan. Yet,
thirty-seven (37) years after the introduction, Nigerian teachers and students are not versed in the use of
computer technology. For computer to be effectively used in Nigerian schools, that is, from primary to
tertiary institutions, every teacher and administrator must become computer literate (New watch Magazine, 1989),
Some researchers maintained that the
computer is used for administrative purposes in the school for maintaining student records and scheduling classes.
It can also be applied directly to
instruction for 'CAI' the Computer Assisted Instruction is a special packaged
for using the computer directly as
medium of instruction and as information delivery system. It presents instructional materials to the students
and interprets response. The three ways of utilising computer in
education this include: for effectiveness administrative system, as problem solving tool and as the basis of an integrated
learning system (Adewoyin 2000).
The researcher therefore, intends to investigate the computer
education on the school administrative
performance in public secondary schools in Oorelope Local Government Area, Oyo State.
Statement of the Problem.
As indispensable as computer is, it seems
difficult to determine its administrative performance in public secondary
schools. Although, computer education has been introduced at the secondary
school level of Nigerian education administrative officers are yet to really understand
administrative performance of the computer because of the inadequate training
of the personnel,
insufficient computer for personnel, lack of competent hands to impact the
knowledge of computer, and insufficient fund to provide adequate computer in
schools. Considering the
increased of the student's population, computerisation of the student's results, the
increase workload of tasks, teaching and learning processing in the school are
the problems
militating against the administrative performance of personnel in the use of computer.
The researcher intends to find out the
influence of computer education on the administrative performance in public secondary
schools in Oorelope L.G.A, Oyo State.
Purpose of
the Study.
The purpose of this study is to examine the
relationship between computer education and administrative performance in
public secondary schools in Oorelope Local Government Area, Oyo
State.
Specifically,
the purposes of the study were to:
1.
examine the level of computer education of
school administrator in public Secondary Schools in Oorelope Local Government Area,

Scope of
the Study
This research work was designed purposely to
explore measure of computer education on administrative performance in public
secondary schools in Oorelope local government area, Oyo state. In
order to guide the study and to be able to take care of the variable more objectively,
the computer education was limited to personnel services, students' services
and administrative
management while dependent variable (administrative performance) was measured,
competency of empower and training of personnel.
There were seven (7) public secondary schools
in Oorelope L.G.A, Oyo state, all the secondary schools were used by using
purposive sampling method, the target population for the study was
five hundred and six (506), seven principals and four hundred and ninety nine
teachers (499), the sample for the study comprised seven principals and two
hundred and ten teachers making a total of 217 respondents between 2015 to 2016.
Significance of
the Study
The study was concerned with issues of
compute education in secondary schools and in relation to administrative performance in
public secondary schools in Oorelope local government area, Oyo state.
The findings of this study will guide the
secondary schools administrators on the benefits derived from the use of computer in
day to day activities. It will equally expose the principals of secondary schools to their required and
expected roles tasks, duties and responsibilities
which are to be objectively performed by the use of computer.
The findings will also sensitise the
educational agencies responsible for secondary education and the government on their full
commitment to secondary education on the use of data base, records keeping among others.
Furthermore, policy makers, educational
planners and other officials will appreciate the role of computer education in the achievement
of educational goals and objectives.
Researchers will also find the study useful
because it will open up new areas for further research.
