CONTENT RATING OF WEB-BASED INSTRUCTIONAL PACKAGE

This research was conducted to investigate Content rating of Web-based Instructional Package (WEBIP). The study specifically assessed the procedures for developing the and the difference in the rating of WEBIP Contents by the groups of experts. Production-oriented type of descriptive research was adapted as the research design. The population consisted of Computer Science teachers, Programmers (Web developers), Educational Technology experts in Benin metropolis. The sample size consisted of 10 (Programmers in Benson Idahosa University and University of Benin) in Benin Metropolis. The instrument used by experts for validation of the package was the researcher- developed Visual Evaluation form (VEF). The data collected in this research work were analyzed using mean, standard deviation and Kendall’s W3 Mean Rank. The results revealed that experts scored the items in the contents of the package very high. This shows that there is a reasonable agreement among experts from University of Benin and experts in Benson Idahosa University. Experts from both institutions stated that hapters of the Programming Language sub-topics are arranged logically”. The item “The fonts of the Programming Language topics are clear and visible” were ranked highest in the content of the package. In view of the findings, the researcher recommended that Computer Science Curriculum planners should modify the curriculum to ensure schools provide web-based instructional packages for learning programming languages and learners should be given the opportunity to explore instructional packages that can enhance their understanding of programming language.
