Philosophy

Education Technology is a rational problem-solving approach to Education. Moreover, the need for self-sufficiency, self-employment and capacity to generate employment has challenged the Faculties and Institutes of Education over the years. This programme in Educational Technology trains not only for the salaried jobs but more so for self-employment based on skills acquisition and minimal capital requirement. The pressing need for universities to package programmes that are capable of meeting the employment generating opportunities for the teeming number of graduates is therefore partially served by this programme. During and on completion of the programme, the students are expected to: a) Exhibit high level skill in the design, production, selection, improvisation and evaluation of instructional and educational media, including those associated with the print and broadcasting (electronic) media; b) Design and package educational programmes for a wide category target audience; inschool and non-face-to-face, and for different purposes; c) Adopt the acquired skills in the research, improvisation and management associated with instructional and educational media, methods and modes; d) Demonstrate competency in the manipulation of instructional and educational hardware to achieve maximum result for a wide variety of target audience; e) Enjoy the combined use of the hand, head and heart in creativity as a mark of self-reliance and dignity of labour; and f) Investigate through research, observationsand experimentation, the various areas associated with instructional media design, production, utilization and their effects on performance and goal attainment.
