Abstract

This study examined perception of Enugu State basic teachers on use of PowerPoint as innovation in teaching during lesson preparation, delivery and evaluation in attaining goal four (4) of the Sustainable Developmental Goals. Three research questions guided the study. Interdisciplinary basic teachers sent for Enugu State 2020 SDGs workshop, numbering 20, constituted the population for the study. Total population sampling technique was employed as sample due to manageable size of this population. As such, all the 20 Basic Teachers sent for the workshop formed the respondents. BATEPP instrument, made up of 12 items, with reliability of 0.87 using Cronbach alpha, also face-validated by three computer experts was used to collect data used to elicit information after being analysed in MS Excel. Means and percentages were used to answer the three research questions that guided the study. It was found out that the ICT and mathematics teachers utilized PowerPoint more than basic science and agricultural teachers, as seen in the means and percentages during lesson preparation, delivery and evaluation. However, all the basic teachers sent for the workshop had perception above average in each stage of the learning process and need to step down what they learnt to other teachers in the various LGAs that sent them to be their representatives. Every teacher needs to cooperate in this regard to facilitate the achievement of goal four (4) of the SDGs, leading to development and progress in the education sector.
