PROFESSIONAL STATUS AND COMMITMENT OF LABORATORY TECHNOLOGIST

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

The technical profession of science and laboratory technology is a skill-based competence that is vital to the national economy and technology growth (URT, 2000). Technicians in science have an essential role to play in current and future scientific disciplines. Technicians’ practical skills, experiences and knowledge are basic needs in science, as these are more detailed than for common researchers and science teachers. Like any other country, in Tanzania there is a general requirement throughout the country for skill-based competence in scientific areas such as academics & research institutions, manufacturing & processing industries, and government agency laboratories. The availability of skilled and competent personnel is crucial in meeting URT’s 2025 vision, Five Year Development Plan (FYDP) and the Big Results Now (BRN) strategies.

The Technical Education and Training Policy (1996) established three main purposes for technical secondary schools to ensure that (a) an appropriate and cost effective vocational education is introduced to replace the diversified course package, (b) teaching of science and technology is strengthened in technical secondary schools and (c) training standards are prepared for different fields of vocational education to be taught in current technical secondary schools. However, recently, most technical secondary schools and colleges have been transformed into non-technical schools, universities or university colleges.

Experimental Laboratory technology is one of the most recently included subject content of the curriculum Laboratory technology it inclusion, Laboratory technology has continued to occupy its separate place and some time, it is often neglected in some schools even where the various branches of Laboratory technology are taught they are done without regard for the basic requirement needed in spite of the effort made during the present decade by the federal and state government of Nigeria to give Laboratory technology subject their role in education note much has been achieved in some selected schools in Shagamu Local Government Areaof Lagos state the effect of the deficiency in teaching Laboratory technology in schools are particularly evident in developing countries such as Nigeria

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

To which extent has the number of students per class in Nigeria which is too unwieldy affect the effective teaching of Laboratory technology

In what way does in adequate use of specimens material and diagrams makes ineffective the teaching of Laboratory technology

Could lack of improvised teaching and by teacher cause ineffective teaching which lead to the students poor performance in Laboratory technology

Can bad attitude of teachers towards work affect the effective teaching of Laboratory technology

Could lack of practical work causes ineffective teaching of Laboratory technology

RESEARCH QUESTION

How does lack of laboratories and lack of instructional material affect the effective teaching of Laboratory technology?

How does pupil’s attitude towards the subject (Laboratory technology) affect their performance in the teaching of Laboratory technology?

Does teacher’s professional status and commitment also affect students performance in effective teaching of Laboratory technology/

How teacher dose’s teaching methods in Laboratory technology affects pupil’s performance ineffective teaching of Laboratory technology?

HYPOTHESIS

The ineffective teaching of Laboratory technology schools is brought by several factors the researcher has it in mind that the factors listed below could be responsible for it

Lack of laborites and lack of instructional materials

Students attitude towards the subject (Laboratory technology) affects their performance

Teacher’s professional status and commitment also affect the students performance in Laboratory technology

Teacher’s teaching method in Laboratory technology affect students performance

With answers to the above, the researcher has it in mind that there is going to be a total change in the teaching of Laboratory technology

PURPOSE OF STUDY

The purpose of this study is to find out the problem militating against the teaching of Laboratory technology the schools

SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY

The teaching of Laboratory technology has not been as effective as it output to be is easily of students in schools it is therefore necessary to diagnose the various factors responsible for this unheeding state of affairs and proper means by which the anomalies could be arrested

The importance of Laboratory technology in the life of man need to be over emphasized therefore if the subject is note effectively taught, the rudiment that are necessary for development of the basic concept of Laboratory technology would be lacking at the secondary schools level and this could permeate the other state of the nation’s educational level it is believed that the importance of Laboratory technology is well under stood and all the factors responsible for it’s unhealthy development are quickly nipped on the bud it would be possible to build a Laboratory technology culture oriented society which will augur well for the healthy development of the nation

SCOPE AND DELIMITION OF STUDY

The study will be restricted to Shagamu Local Government Areain Benin City Lagos state a large number of primary school is located there hence Shagamu Local Government Areawill serve as the centre of the study this will enable one to know the factor militating against effective teaching of Laboratory technology

Selected secondary schools in Shagamu Local Government Areaare to be used for the study

The selected schools are:

Ugbowo primaryu school

Ediaken primary school

Olua primary school

Use primary school

LIMITATION OF STUDY

To carry out a project such as this there are bound to be procedural and methodological flew inherent in the item developed human biases are likely to aggravate the internal weakness that are likely to exist however, conscious effort will be made to evolve method that will control for such extraneous influences in order to ensure the validity and reliability of the study

It is also expected that distance, times, finance and lack of human co-operation can pose serious threats to the successful execution of this project to this end it is hoped that every effort will be made to minimize, if not totally eliminating such threats and steps taken be highlighted to serve as a guide to those who may wish to replicate the project

DEFINITION OF TERMS

In the course of study, it is important to know what the following terms stand for technology may be defined as the use of organized knowledge to solve practical problems

Laboratory technology laboratory is a place equipped for experimental studies in Laboratory technology
