Bachelor Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Business economics - Miscellaneous, grade: 4, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University (Education), course: Research project, language: English, abstract: This study seeks to investigate the constraints militating against effective teaching and learning of business education in public tertiary institutions in Anambra State. Five research questions are raised to guide the study. The population of the study consisted of fifty eight (58) business educators. The instrument used for data collection was structured questionnaire. The data collected were analyzed using mean. Findings among others revealed that Inadequate teaching methods, Shortage of qualified business education teachers, Poor teaching equipment/ facilities, Inaccessibility of business education teachers/students to digital technology and internet facilities and Inadequate funding of business education militates against effective teaching and learning of business education in tertiary institutions in Anambra State at high extent. Education across the globe has been seen as the only veritable tool for progress and survival of a nation. The formulation and translation of good policies are dependent upon quality education. Educational institutions exist primarily for the purposes of cultivating, generating and supplying of manpower needed for the attainment of aims and aspirations of the society through developmental programmes (teaching and learning), conducting research to solve existing and anticipating problems as well as expanding other frontiers of knowledge by providing other varieties of services to the communities. The development of a nation is highly dependent on the quality of education received by her citizens. Based on the findings of the study, some practical recommendations are made which are; that there should be a joint funding programme by the government, schools authority and the community in the business education, and that there should be organization of sensitization programmes like workshops, conferences and seminars for teachers to update their knowledge in business education so as to face the challenges of teaching and learning processes and there should be provision of facilities, tools, equipment, models, specimen, machines and electronic device used for the teaching of business education in the tertiary institutions in Anambra State.

Blended synchronous learning - where remote students participate in face-to-face classes by means of rich-media synchronous technologies such as video conferencing, web conferencing and virtual worlds - is an emerging phenomenon in education. More and more teachers are attempting to teach in this challenging mode, but without any systematic research evidence to help guide their blended synchronous learning practices. The Blended Synchronous Learning Handbook is a definitive resource that addresses this issue. It includes a Blended Synchronous Learning Design Framework that offers pedagogical, technological and logistical recommendations for teachers attempting to design and implement blended synchronous learning lessons. It also includes a Rich-Media Synchronous Technology Capabilities Framework to support the selection of technologies for different types of learning activities, as well as a review of relevant literature, a summary of the Blended Synchronous Learning Scoping Study, detailed reports of seven blended synchronous learning case studies, and an in-depth cross case analysis to underpin the recommendations that are drawn.
