ABSTRACT

Business education, as part of the educational programme in Nigeria, involves the reformation, expansion, and transmission of knowledge and skills through theory and practice with the aim of skilled acquisition. This paper discussed "Remodeling Business Education Methods for Effective Teaching and Learning in Higher Institutions in Nigeria." The paper noted that education is the act of teaching knowledge to others and the act of receiving knowledge from someone else. Remodeling was looked at as a new way or style of doing something. In this case, the remodeling of the business education method entails changing from the conventional method like the demonstration method. The demonstration method involves teaching students through a step-by-step process. These steps include: planning and preparation, introduction of the lesson, presentation of the subject matter, demonstration, use of teaching aids, and evaluation of the lesson. Here, it was explained that new technology (digital tools like Google Classroom and Class Dojo) are options which can be used to remodel business education methods for effective teaching and learning. Effective teaching and learning brings to mind the teacher’s behaviour (warmth, civility, clarity), the teacher's knowledge of the subject matter, and the ability to improve students' achievement. It was recommended, among others, that the Federal and State governments in Nigeria should make budgetary provisions for the provision of digital tools (facilities) for effective teaching and learning in universities in Nigeria.
