The population for this study consists of forty (40) respondents which comprise Computer Education lecturers, Technical Instructors/Technologist and web designers. Computer Education Lecturers, technical instructors and technologist were made up of thirty (30) respondents from the two governments owned Universities in Enugu State. While the web designers were made up of ten (10) respondents from the Computer Institutes registered with Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) in Enugu State. The instrument for data collection was a structured questionnaire developed from literature review titled “Web Designing Training Programme Questionnaire” (WDTPQ). The instrument which comprise five clusters was face validated by five experts. The data collected from the study were analyzed using weighted mean score for answering five research questions and standard deviation (SD) were used to determine the spread of the respondents from the mean in their responses. T-test and ANOVA were used to test the five hypotheses. The study found that eight objectives of the training programme for teaching web designing were considered required by the respondents. It was found that the eleven clusters items under Content items of the training programme for teaching web designing towards entrepreneurship were considered required by the respondents. It was found that fourteen learning activities of a training programme for teaching web designing towards entrepreneurship were required by the respondents. It was found that all the 32 items on instructional techniques/methods for teaching web designing were required as procedures to be adopted for training students in web designing. It was found that all the seventeen items on evaluation methods/techniques for assessment of the trainees were relevant for the web designing training programme. The study found that there was no significant difference in the mean ratings of the responses of the lecturers from the two universities on the specific objectives of the training programme for teaching web designing towards entrepreneurship for integration into computer education programme (p – value, p> 0,05).There was no significant difference in the mean ratings of the responses of computer web designers and the lecturers on the content of the training programme (p-value, p > 0.05). Gender was not a source of significant difference in the mean ratings of the responses of computer web designers and the lecturers on the learning activities of a training programme. There was no significant difference in the mean ratings of the responses as regards years of experience of the respondents on the instructional techniques (methods/strategies) for the training programme (p-value, p>0.05). There was no significant difference in the mean ratings of the responses as regards years of experience on the evaluation methods/techniques of the training programme. After validation of the developed draft WDTPQ, it was revised based on the outcome of the validation and a final copy was produced which give rise to the Developed Training Programme for Teaching Web Designing for Integration into Computer Education Programme (see Appendix E).The study therefore recommended that the government should direct the principal actors of universities, administrators of institutions, stakeholders, planners and curriculum developers to integrate the developed programme into all computer education programme for training students in web designing. 2018-11-01T00:00:00Z http://repository.unn.edu.ng/handle/123456789/9434 Improvement Strategies for Teaching of Commerce in Public Secondary Schools in Enugu Education Zone of Enugu State Onyebuchi, Veronica N The major purpose of this study is to find out the strategies for improving the teaching of commerce in public secondary schools in Enugu Education Zone of Enugu State.
