ASSESSMENT OF TEACHING METHOD UTILIZED  IN SECONDARY SCHOOL  BUSINESS STUDIES CHARPTER ONE INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of the Study

Globally, learning has been recognized  as a change in behaviour caused by the adaption of various experiences, information, and motivation. Ukonu (2017) explained that it may also be described as the enhancement of an individual's skills. Learning is not a static component, but rather one that may be developed throughout the lives of students and changes with their age, resulting in the discovery of how that information might be used. In today's world, business education is extremely important. Different firms are also concerned about the occurrence and wonder whether executives will be able to run their businesses using concepts and strategies in the future. As a result, a specific student's learning should be related not only to the knowledge supplied by the instructor, but also to their attitudes and approach to the topic (Kshetra, 2016). Keeping an eye on business education, the issue comes as to why, if it is so vital, this topic is founded by senior level students, maintained dry and uninteresting, and reflective as not having any insights into the actual world. We, as experts of business education, recognize that children's knowledge is misdirected (kshetra, 2013). Traditionally, the methods employed in teaching business courses to us are effective for making students comprehend the subject in a logical fashion; nevertheless, because of the unilateral nature of communication, this strategy leads to the students being passive. It is difficult for an individual to adapt learning without the participation of an audience, and it is not a practical way of teaching since it cannot offer the true image of business conditions. As a result, there is a significant need for thinking outside the box when it comes to teaching business. Enhancing business instruction sought to provide students with sufficient business understanding from a practical standpoint (Ajaiyi, 2016).
