1.2 Statement of the problem
Over
the years, the researcher had noticed that there has been a public
outcry on the poor quality of education and continual decline in the
standards of education in the country especially at the secondary school
level.A careful examination of the environmental factor revealed some
of the problems bedeviling the system, and which have been hindering
effective administration of any school in Nigeria (Ogunbiyi, 2004;
Nwakpa,2008).
Education stakeholders have blamed the quality
assurance agents (school supervisors and inspectors of education) for
the falling standard due to dilapidated school buildings and structures.
The complaint is that infrastructures and facilities are fast decaying
and depreciated and that the quality of inspection is below expectation.
A lot of problems have been identified to be affecting the state of
education, mostly at the secondary school level. The rate at which the
standard of education deteriorate cannot be overemphasized. Some of
these problems could be traced to inadequate finance that is required to
provide for basic school facilities, school plant planning, buildings
and structures, libraries building and other social amenities, sports
and training facilities(Emeratom,2004).
Good quality education as
well as having standardized school in place depends heavily on the
provision of adequate educational facilities. This was why Emeratom
(2004) insisted that educational curriculum cannot be sound and well
operated with poor and badly managed school facilities. By school
facilities, he meant a physical resource that pushes up effective
teaching and learning. These include blocks of classrooms, laboratories,
workshops, libraries, equipment, consumables, electricity, water,
visual and audio-visual aids, tables, chairs, playground, storage space
and toilets. The shortage or lack of any of these provokes research
interest since result of education depends on their availability.
In
another vein, Adeboyeje (2000) identified the characteristics of
teaching-learning efficiency were noted to include the following
conditions:
· Where the teachers create learning environments
where students are active participants as individuals and as members of
collaborative groups;
· Where teachers encourage students to
accept responsibility for their own learning and accommodates and
diverse learning needs of all students;
· Where teacher
motivate students and nurture their desire to learn in a safe, healthy
and supportive environment which develops compassion and mutual respect;
· Where teachers cultivate cross-cultural understanding and the value of diversity;
·
Where they display effective and efficient classroom management which
includes classroom routines that promote comfort, order and appropriate
student behaviours;
· Where teachers provide students with equal access to technology, space, tools and time;
·
Where they effectively allocate time to students for engaging in
hands-on experiences, discuss and process content and make meaningful
connections; and
· Where teachers design lessons that excite
students to participate in activities in which they understand, make
mistakes and are empowered as natural part of learning.
Based on the
foregoing, the problem of this study is to reveal the environmental
factors affecting the effectiveness of teaching and learning of physical
education and sports at the secondary school level in Lagos State.
1.6Purpose of the study
The
main purpose of this study was to examine the impact of environment on
effective school administration in Kosofe Local Government Area of Lagos
state.
Purposes of study include the following: To determine
whether school climate will influence effective school administration in
public schools.
1.To ascertain whether school location will
influence effective teaching and learning of physical education and
sports. 2.To ascertain whether school facilities will influence
effective teaching and learning of physical education and sports . 3.To
ascertain whether application of modern management techniques
(supervision) will influence effective teaching and learning.
