dc.description.abstractA SURVEY AND ANALYSIS OF THE STATE OF EDUCATIONAL MEDIA IN THE ESTABLISHED NIGERIAN UNIVERSITIES (Order No.) ANDREW ANDARAWUS NKOM Boston University, School of Education, 1982 Major Professor: Gerald F. McVey, Associate Professor of Education Problem The purpose of this study was to ascertain the availability of educational media in the 13 established Nigerian universities to support instruction. It was necessary thereafter to analyze the state of educational media as a step towards identifying factors that had impeded development. Procedure The data for the study were collected by means of a uniform questionnaire administered through personal interviews. The investigator, in addition, personally inspected and evaluated existing media facilities. The data, which were both quantitative and qualitative, were collected from those Nigerian universities founded between 1948 and 1977. The questionnaire covered the major facets of media systems including facilities for the effective use of media equipment, Specialized/Production facilities, hardware, software, personnel and budget. Data were also collected from three American institutions to afford a means for external comparison. Results Nigerian universities had not paid attention to providing suitable environments for effective media use. There was a wider range of hardware formats in the larger universities but hardware to student ratios indicated insufficiency of equipment in all the universities to make impact on instruction. Specialized/Production facilities showed concentration in darkroom facilities and graphics and transparency production facilities. Generally, all the facilities were in the second stage of development and had low utilization levels. Media directors and specialists indicated an acute shortage of trained media personnel but courses offered in educational media indicated emphasis on the theoretical aspects of media. Annual budgets were generally inadequate to cover media needs. However, Teaching Hospital Units reported having more support from admin vii istrative staff than University-Wide Units. The problems that had had the most adverse effects on media units were related to import restrictions. Conclusions There should be more coordination within and cooperation between Nigerian universities. Cooperation would include the establishment of a consortium to circulate materials and of a forum to facilitate the formulation of strategies for achieving common objectives. The forum would pool available expertise to provide consultation services nationwide and contribute towards national policies in educational media.en_US
