AN EVALUATION OF AVAILABILITY AND USE OF MODERN MUSIC TECHNOLOGIES IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN OYO METROPOLIS

Jonathan Olapade, Blessing Amole

Abstract


The importance of education in nation building, especially in a developing country like Nigeria, cannot be over emphasized. This is because the level of development of a nation depends largely on the educational structure of that nation. Nigerian society, like other developing societies, is dynamic and often changed based on certain recurring social realities. These changes often occur through either internal processes or as a result of influence of new inventions, innovations and trend in global practices (Omojola, 1995). Such global trends include the adoption and use of modern technologies in educational system. Technology in the context of formal education can simply be referred to as registered electro-mechanical instruments which are materials recognized and accepted for the use of teachers and students in teaching and learning processes. The Nigerian educational system is therefore faced with task of meeting the needs of the dynamic societies through modern innovations and technology, hence, the need for constant evaluation of the system (education) in relation to current trends and global practices.
