Area of research / Subject: Role and Application of Computer in Chemistry Education in Secondary Schools in Nigeria
The integration of computer technology into chemistry education has significantly enhanced teaching and learning experiences, particularly in Nigerian secondary schools. This paper explores the various applications of computers in chemistry education, including computer-assisted instruction (CAI), virtual laboratories, computer simulations, and intelligent tutoring systems. These technologies have been shown to improve students’ academic performance, engagement, and understanding of complex chemical concepts. Despite the benefits, several challenges hinder widespread adoption, including inadequate infrastructure, limited teacher training, financial constraints, curriculum rigidity, resistance to change, and the digital divide. Addressing these challenges requires targeted interventions such as investments in infrastructure, professional development for educators, and curriculum reforms that accommodate technological advancements. Furthermore, fostering collaborations between government agencies, educational institutions, and private organizations can facilitate resource allocation and training opportunities. This paper highlights the transformative potential of computer technology in chemistry education while underscoring the need for strategic efforts to overcome existing barriers. By embracing these innovations, Nigerian secondary schools can enhance students’ learning experiences and better prepare them for the demands of a technologically driven society.
