Repositioning Physics Education through Educational Information and Engineering Technology in Bayelsa State, Nigeria

Abstract

This research effort is focused on ‘Repositioning Physics Education through Educational Information and Engineering Technology in Bayelsa State, Nigeria’. Today, what is required is effective teaching and learning environments for physics education, an interactive instructional environment that will adapt instruction according to the learner’s error rate, speed, interest or some other variables. Various training or learning institutions world over continue to invest in technologies to provide needed support in instructional delivery and learning processes. This is why every responsible government and stake holders in the educational industry strive hard to provide its youths with opportunities to acquire requisite theoretical and practical knowledge in various subject areas including physics education. Physics teachers and students in Bayelsa State not only need a creative and innovative ability, practical knowledge, professional commitment, but also ingenuity which the field of educational information and engineering technology stands to provide in the present information and communication technology era. It, therefore, follows in the present dispensation, teachers and students of Physics have to be responsive and receptive to emerging realities or technologies that are capable of facilitating instructional delivery and ensure that these relevant skills and abilities are developed in the students to be able to study and comprehend  nature and sources of energy with investigations of the ways in which one form of energy can be changed to another hence, this article focuses on ways of repositioning physics teaching such that will accommodate unique approach to, and therefore, enhance teaching and learning of science and engineering courses.
