CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
to the Study
The
genesis of Geography between different cultural and political organizations is
varies. In recent developments of geography
has become a unique academic field.
‘Geography”
derives from the Greek word YEWYPACPA geographic meaning a literal translation
of which would be “ to describe or write about the “Earth”. However, the
practices of geography such as cartography is evident prior to the adoption of
the terminology geography . According to O.S Shimaya (2017). The renown world
of old Egypt believed that Nile is the centre and the country as based on “the
river” various oases were known to the
east and west and were considered locations of various gods.
Scholars
who study geography are known as geographers. These set of people engage in
studying the Earth’s natural environment and human society. Although people
making Maps were known as geographers in the ancient world, nowadays they are
more generally known as cartographers.
Through the
time factor the rich legacy of geography made a great journey to the Islamic minds. The Islamic Golden age experienced
sound advancements in the geographical sciences. Islamic geographers were
credited with groundbreaking Discover’s many new expense of lands were exported
and the world’s first gird.
Geography is the study of
the physical feature of the earth atmosphere, and of human activity as it is
affected by these features, including the distribution of populations and
resources and political power and economic activities. Geography seems to be
the most difficult subject to teach, some of the reasons put forward are nature
of the subject and the way it is being taught. It is believed that geography is
taught in a way that discourages open questions, inquiry and active
participation. The effect of this is that the mind and imagination of student
are closed.
According
to United states national research council (2010) geography as a discipline can
be split broadly into two main subsidiary fields: human geography and physical
geography.
The
first one majorly focused on the built environment and how human create, view,
manage, and influence space. The latter has to do with the natural environment
and how organisms climate soil, water and landforms scholars who. Geography
touches other field like economic,
Biology and Agricultural Science.
The needed tool for
reposition Geography to meet vision 2020 challenges in Nigeria is apart because for one, it
is geared towards identifying needed challenging change to be made in the structure
and methodology of teaching and learning social studies. One of the ways of
achieving this is through the application of information technology. The fact
is no nation can develop to its fullest and keep peace with modern society
trends in science and technology without effective and efficient information
and technology (IT) is a force that has changed many aspect of human endeavors.
The impact of IT on
various fields of human endeavors such as medicine, tourism business, law
banking, engineering and architecture over two or three decades has been
enormous. But when we considered the field of education they seem to have been
an uncanny absence of influence of IT and far less change than other field as
experienced.
1.2 Statement
of the Problem
It has been observed that
the teaching and learning of social studies in secondary schools nowadays is
still largely based on abstract rather than practical despite the advancement
in technology in our society. This has acuminated in the low enrolment of
students in the subject at the tertiary level in Nigeria.
More so, there is need for systematic
researches investigating the use of technologies in Geography method. This is a way of making
teachers apprehensive about improving and modifying instruction by
in-cooperating the new technologies.
1.3 Purpose of the Study
The main purpose of the study is to critically
carry out empirical survey of teachers access to and the use of information
technology in teaching Geography in Nigeria secondary schools.
1.4 Research
Questions
Based on the problems of
the study the following questions were formulated.
Ø How adequate are the used of
technologies in the teaching and learning social studies
Ø Are the social studies teachers
exposed to the use of new technologies in teaching the subject?
Ø What are the benefits of new
technologies in the teaching and learning of Geography in secondary schools?
Ø Are the students of Geography exposed to new technologies used in
learning the subject?
1.5 Research Hypothesis
1. There is no adequate use of information
technology in teaching and learning of Geography
2. The Geography teacher does not have
access to the use of information technology.
3. There is no benefit of information
technology in the teaching and learning of Geography
4. Students of Geography do not have
exposure to do not have exposed to information technology.
1.7 Significance
of the Study
The study is significant
in that it will provide information about the current status of utilization of
modern technology in Nigerian Secondary schools. It will also provide baseline
data for future policy regarding technology training and the development of
strategic plans aimed at encouraging technology-based innovation at encouraging
technology- based innovation in teacher education programs it will shed more
light on the problems and prospects of technology application in the teaching
of Geography in
schools. The study will trigger off more research studies that will inform and
encourage the implication of new technology in teacher education.
