A REVIEW OF LEVEL OF BIOTECHNOLOGY EDUCATION AMONG TERTIARY EDUCATION STUDENTS

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

Background of the study

Biotechnology is any technique which involves the application of biological organisms or their components, systems or processes to manufacturing and service industries make or modify products, to improve plants or animals or to develop micro-organisms for special uses (Tietyen et al., 2000; Edema, 2004). Some people use the term biotechnology to refer to the tools of genetic engineering that have been developed since 1973 (Tietyen et al., 2000). But biology, technology, and human-directed genetic change have been a part of agriculture since the beginning of cultivated crops some 10,000 years ago. Biotechnology has, in a general sense, been used as a tool for food production since the first breeders decided to selectively plant or breed only the best kinds of corn or cows. Technology is a tool we use to achieve a goal, such as improved food quality (Tietyen

Scientific advances through the years have relied on the development of new tools to improve socio-economy such as health care, agricultural production, and environmental protection. Individuals, consumers, policymakers, and scientists must ultimately decide if the benefits of biotechnology are greater than the risks associated with this new approach (Tietyen et al., 2000). The technology tools used in biology have changed rapidly since scientists moved the first specific gene from one organism to another in 1973. This new era began in 1953 when scientists James Watson and Francis Crick determined the structure of DNA (Tietyen et al., 2000; Edema, 2004). DNA is the chemical language that determines the features and characteristics of all living organisms: plants, animals, and microorganisms. Once scientists understood how DNA was put together, they could determine which parts of the DNA (genes) are responsible for certain traits (Tietyen et al., 2000; FAO, 2000, 2004).

Statement of the problem

There may have been previous researches in this subject. This work borders on the challenges of poor development in biotechnology education among Nigeria tertiary education students, even in times when the need for massive orientation in biotechnology have gained traction and have reached a point of critical mass, and have permeated more and getting more permeating in many industries of the world.

Objectives of the study
To understand the impact of biotechnology education among tertiary education students and Nigeria technology advancement.
To understand the relationship between level of biotechnology education among tertiary education students and Nigeria technology advancement.

Research questions

What is the impact of biotechnology education among tertiary education students and Nigeria technology advancement.
What is the relationship between level of biotechnology education among tertiary education students and Nigeria technology advancement.
