Abstract
his paper examines what influence Parents location, residence and accommodation (being integral elements) of Socio-Economic Status (SES) on secondary school students’ attitude towards computer studies in Enugu education zone of Enugu State, Nigeria. Five research questions guided the study while five hypotheses were tested. Ex-post facto research design was adopted for the study. The study was carried out in Enugu education zone of Enugu State. The population for the study was 3,624 Senior Secondary School (SS 3) students in Enugu education zone of Enugu State. The sample consisted of 363 students. This sample was constituted through a multi-stage sampling technique. The instrument for data collection was called attitude questionnaire. The attitude questionnaire was subjected to face validation by three experts in science education and one in measurement and evaluation. The reliability of the attitude questionnaire was determined by administering the questionnaire to 50 SS3 students from Idaw River Secondary School Enugu. The overall reliability index was 0.62. Data were collected by administering the instrument to the sampled students in their respective schools. Data were analyzed using mean and standard deviation to provide answers to research questions. The formulated hypotheses were tested using regression model statistical methods because the study sought the influence of association between SES variables and those of attitude to computer studies. Students from Isiuzo were seen to have high level of enjoyment and high level of avoidance whereas students from Enugu East had high enjoyment level and low avoidance. It would seem that, rural students approached the study of computers with some levels of trepidation; however, the novelty of the study induced a high level of enjoyment. The semirural students seem to be less anxious and also enjoyed it, perhaps because they by the nature of the environment have had some level of interaction with computers. It did not therefore have any special effects on them. It was found out that, students from urban residential areas enjoyed the use of computers while students from the rural areas showed the lowest enjoyment level. Students from the rural area avoided the use of computers more than those from the urban area like Independence layouts, New Heaven etc. It was found out that, students from parents who live in a flat show high level of enjoyment, followed by those whose parents live in duplex and then those whose parents live in bungalow. It was also found out that, those whose parents live in two rooms and one room respectively show low level of enjoyment.
