Statement of the Problem
Usefulness of computers during teaching
and learning process make the work of teachers easier as it helps in
demysifing complex concepts in different subjects. Computers help
students learn better by enhancing their learning environment and
increasing learning resources. Availability of computers to Business
Studies teachers is the first stage in the successful adoption of
computers in teaching the subject in secondary schools (Kiarie, 2014).
This is because teachers can only be competent and interested users of
computers as teaching tools if they are available and easily accessible.
Teachers will not adopt computer technologies into their instructional
tasks if computers are not available in the first place.
Reid and
Rushton (1985) in Kiarie (2014) concluded that, there are many
challenges that hinder the process of using computers in the classroom.
However, when effectively used, computers have a dramatic effect on
teachers and learners. But where computers are not used effectively,
they do not add value to teaching and learning.
