DIRECTORATE OF SANDWICH DEGREE PROGRAMME

COMPUTER SCIENCE EDUCATION COURSE GUIDE

PROGRAMME: COMPUTER SCIENCE EDUCATION
PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES OF THE PROGRAMME
2.1 Philosophy
Nigeria cannot afford to ignore the role which computer literacy plays in
achieving the national goal of technological development. Hence she has
resolved to introduce computer education in primary and secondary schools. For
meaningful teaching of Computer studies in our primary and secondary schools,
there is a need to produce professional teachers in the discipline. Hitherto there
has been provision for the training of computer scientists in the universities and
the polytechnics but little attention was paid

to the training of teachers for Computer Studies. There is therefore need to offer
Computer studies as a programme in the professional preparation of teachers.

The philosophy of the programme include the production of well-groomed

Computer science teachers with solid background in the knowledge and use of
compute who will be able to teach computer studies. The product of
thisprogramme would exhibit the professional qualities expected in related
enterprise. Minimum of twenty eight unit (28) courses and maximum of thirty
four unit (34) courses is to be undertake at each module

2.2 Objectives
The objectives of the programmes are to ensure that graduates acquire
capabilities and skills in the following areas:

1. Teach computer studies at the Secondary School level;

2. Write progammes and process data with appropriate proficiency.

3. Demonstrate reasonably high level of competence in preparation for further

studies in Computer Science.

4. Motivate students’ interest in the study of computers by appropriately using ICT

teaching/learning strategies.

5. Apply the use of computer as an aid in daily life activities.

Examination Malpractices

The department frowns seriously at any act of examination malpractice. The penalty for
examination malpractice is dismissal.
Approved Procedure for the Re-Assessment of Examination Scripts
The complainant will submit in writing an application for remarking to the Head of
Department clearly stating the reasons in writing and copy the Vice-Chancellor and the
Dean of the Faculty. Student will then pay a prescribed fee of N500.00 for a re-
assessment.
The Head of Department conducts a discrete investigation into the request and takes
one of the following actions:
i) Advises the students to drop the request if he finds no substance in it.
ii) Where a complainant is dissatisfied with the advice of the Head of Department in
(i) above, the following procedure will operate.
iii) The complainant pays the sum of five hundred naira (N500.00) to the University
iv) Makes the request for remarking to the Dean of the Faculty through the Head of
Department clearly stating his/her reasons in writing
v) Depending on the prevailing circumstances, the remarking could be undertaking
by the Head of Department or any other Lecturer who could make a professional
judgment on the course being remarked and on the Lecturer. The Dean, in consultation
with the Head of Department or any other suitably qualified person, sends a sends a
sample representing the spread of the grades in the course together with the questions
and marking scheme to the external examiner or any other expert in the subject who is
not lower in rank than the internal examiner. The decision of the external examiner shall
be final and the Dean shall report the outcome of the exercise to the Vice Chancellor
Any disciplinary action that might arise from a request for re-marking shall be treated
according to existing regulations governing such matters.
Re-sit Examination
There shall be NO RESIT EXAMINATION in any course offered. However, students may
retake the course after they have attended lectures at the next available opportunity.
STUDENTS RESPONSIBILITIES
It is the responsibility of each student to ensure the following:
(a) Prompt registration at the beginning of each MODULE
(b) Regular attendance at lectures
(c) Quick response to official calls
(d) Completion of all academic assignments
(e) Effective use of the library and studying at his/her convenience
(f) Close relationship with his/her level adviser
(g) Good preparations and success in all examinations
(h) Compliance with all rules and regulations of the university
(i) Eschews all acts that can lead to suspension or dismissal from the university.
Some of such serious acts are joining cult and examination malpractice.
To this end, students should know that their success or failure depends on how they are
able to manage their resources and comport themselves in the university.

techniques. Students must get a formal/written approval from the head of department before proceeding
on the training. Periodic reports and a final report must be submitted for evaluation, an oral examination
is required. The first report shall be due for submission at the end of the first three weeks of SIWES. The
first report which must be sent electronically to the head of department will contain the activities of the
industry, how the industry uses Computer science / information technology, and the roles assigned to the
student. The final report shall contain a summative report of the roles of the students within the industry,
