Abstract
This study investigated the relationship between school-based data and management of technological innovations in public secondary schools in Cross River State. One hypothesis was formulated to guide the study. Ex-post facto design was used for the study. The population of this study consisted of 232 principals out of which 210 constituted the sample and 840 teachers were drawn from a population of 5,998 using stratified random sampling technique to assess the principals. School- based Data and management of Technological Innovation Questionnaire (SBDMTIQ) was instrument used for data collection. Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Analysis was used to test the hypothesis. Result indicated that: there is no significant positive relationship between school-based data and principals management of technological innovation. It was recommended that government should give priority attention to the provision and distribution of ICT facilities in schools so as to boost the management of innovations in schools.Keywords: Data, management, technological, innovation
Highlights
Information generated internally in the school system constitute school based data
Based on the literature review, it is obvious that most- of the studies have been subjected to longitudinal effect and so this study provides current literature on school based-data and management of technological innovations in public secondary schools in Cross River State
School Based Data and Management of Technological Innovation Questionnaire was the structured instrument for data collection
Summary
Information generated internally in the school system constitute school based data. School based data are used to determine progression through school. Their function is formative since they give direction to the goals of innovations and shape the attitude and behaviours of members of the school community. There is global understanding that progress and technology go hand in hand. Advances in technological know-how have simplified man’s ability to cope with his environment. With the recent development in information and communication technology, the world has turned into a global village. Technological innovations involve the introduction of machines, equipment and facilities (computers, projectors, internet among others) into the teachingllearning environment
