Abstract :
This research evaluated the NCCE computer
science education minimum standard objectives which
principally borders on the students learning outcome.
The study: (i). evaluated the students learning outcome
as captured in the five minimum standard objectives of
computer science studies of the NCE programme (ii)
examine the extent to which laboratory facilities and
equipment are adequately provided for the
implementation of Computer Science Education in
Colleges of Education in Nigeria (iii) determine the
adequacy of the provision of manpower for the
implementation of Computer Science Education in
College of Education in Nigeria,(iv) ascertain the impact
of SIWES exercise on the general student learning
outcome as it relates to the minimum standard objectives
of computer science education, (v) find out the mode of
teaching adopted for the implementation of Computer
Science Education in Colleges of Education in
Nigeria. The questions and hypotheses for the research
were drown from the objectives above. The study used
descriptive survey design. The population for this study
was drown from six Colleges of Education, each from the
six geo-political zones of the country. The questionnaire
was designed based on four Point-Likert modified rating
scale and the instruments used to analyse the data was
Frequency counts and Independent T-Test statistical
tool. Frequency count for the first research question
showed low percentage of students qualified for further
studies base on the learning outcome for three
consecutive sessions. Hypothesis 2 showed a significant
difference between the response of students and teachers
regarding the adequacy of laboratory equipment, the
remaining hypothesis were retained. The findings shows
a very small percentage of students qualify for further
studies in the universities base on the learning outcomes.
Finding also shows that there is inadequate provision of
facilities and equipment for achieving the Computer
Science Minimum Standard Objective (CSMSO),
However as seen, there was adequate manpower and
there was appropriate use of teaching methodologies,
except for the few hours allocated for practical. The
research also shows that the SIWES Exercise in Relation
to the NCE Learning Outcome is adequate for achieving
the NCE Computer Science Minimum Standard
Objectives (CSMSO) in Nigeria. At the end, the
research recommended the following among others; the
Federal government and the stakeholders of education in
collaboration with other agencies and non-governmental
organization should come to the aid of computer
education by procuring adequate facilities and
equipment for colleges of Education in Nigeria, States
government should consider the possibilities of
establishing the educational trust fund similar to that of
TETFUND at States level to support computer education
in their colleges of education. This will complement the
Federal government effort towards the equipping of our
computer laboratories across the Colleges of Education
in the Nation.
