THE PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS OF TEACHING BASIC SCIENCE SUBJECT IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS

ABSTRACT

This study was carried out in order to determine the effects of qualification of Basic science teachers on the performance of secondary schools in Shagamu LGA.

It was born out of the fact that Basic science teaching in secondary schools is highly neglected. The investigation so far carried out covers four secondary schools in the locality.

The findings were based on four basic research questions.

Lack of laboratories and lack of instructional materials
Students attitude towards the subject (Basic science) affects their performance
Teachers teaching methods in Basic science affect students performance
Teachers qualification also affect the students performance in Basic science,

From the research question it was discovered that the following factors absence of laboratories and lack of instructional materials limited and incompetent teachers of the subject were found to be responsible for the inefficient teaching of Basic science in schools.

CHAPTER ONE

BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

In the Nigeria national policy on education (1981) it stated that school education should “equip students to live attentively in our modern age of Basic science” in accordance with this aim of education, Boge (1979) has his to say, “in an era that is most accurately described by its social and religiousprocess, one major educational problem is preparing the young people to cope with the intellectual and religious environment characterized by rapid changes” in order for students to understand this rapidly, social and religious society, it is assumed that these young people should have some basic understanding for the Basic science

Experimental Basic science is one of the most recently included subject content of the curriculum Basic science it inclusion, Basic science has continued to occupy its separate place and some time, it is often neglected in some schools even where the various branches of Basic science are taught they are done without regard for the basic requirement needed in spite of the effort made during the present decade by the federal and state government of Nigeria to give Basic science subject their role in education note much has been achieved in some selected schools in Shagamu Local Government AreaofLagos state the effect of the deficiency in teaching Basic science in schools are particularly evident in developing countries such as Nigeria

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

To which extent has the number of students per class in Nigeria which is too unwieldy affect the effective teaching of Basic science
In what way does in adequate use of specimens material and diagrams makes ineffective the teaching of Basic science
Could lack of improvised teaching and by teacher cause ineffective teaching which lead to the students poor performance in Basic science
Can bad attitude of teachers towards work affect the effective teaching of Basic science
Could lack of practical work causes ineffective teaching of Basic science

RESEARCH QUESTION

How does lack of laboratories and lack of instructional material affect the effective teaching of Basic science?
How does student ’s attitude towards the subject (Basic science) affect their performance in the teaching of Basic science?
Does teacher’s qualification also affect students performance in effective teaching of Basic science/
How teacher dose’s teaching methods in Basic science affects student ’s performance ineffective teaching of Basic science?

HYPOTHESIS

The ineffective teaching of Basic science schools is brought by several factors the researcher has it in mind that the factors listed below could be responsible for it

Lack of laborites and lack of instructional materials
Students attitude towards the subject (Basic science) affects their performance
Teacher’s qualification also affect the students’ performance in Basic science
Teacher’s teaching method in Basic science affect students’ performance
With answers to the above, the researcher has it in mind that there is going to be a total change in the teaching of Basic science

PURPOSE OF STUDY

The purpose of this study is to find out the problem militating against the teaching of Basic science the schools

SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY

The teaching of Basic science has not been as effective as it output to be is easily of students in schools it is therefore necessary to diagnose the various factors responsible for this unheeding state of affairs and proper means by which the anomalies could be arrested

The importance of Basic science in the life of man need to be over emphasized therefore if the subject is note effectively taught, the rudiment that are necessary for development of the basic concept of Basic science would be lacking at the secondary schools level and this could permeate the other state of the nation’s educational level it is believed that the importance of Basic science is well under stood and all the factors responsible for it’s unhealthy development are quickly nipped on the bud it would be possible to build a Basic science culture oriented society which will augur well for the healthy development of the nation

SCOPE AND DELIMITION OF STUDY

The study will be restricted to Shagamu Local Government Areain Benin City Lagos state a large number of primary school is located there hence Shagamu Local Government Areawill serve as the centre of the study this will enable one to know the factor militating against effective teaching of Basic science

Selected secondary schools in Shagamu Local Government Areaare to be used for the study

The selected schools are:

Ugbowoprimaryu school
Ediaken primary school
Olua primary school
Use primary school

LIMITATION OF STUDY

To carry out a project such as this there are bound to be procedural and methodological flew inherent in the item developed human biases are likely to aggravate the internal weakness that are likely to exist however, conscious effort will be made to evolve method that will control for such extraneous influences in order to ensure the validity and reliability of the study

It is also expected that distance, times, finance and lack of human co-operation can pose serious threats to the successful execution of this project to this end it is hoped that every effort will be made to minimize, if not totally eliminating such threats and steps taken be highlighted to serve as a guide to those who may wish to replicate the project

DEFINITION OF TERMS

In the course of study, it is important to know what the following terms stand for technology may be defined as the use of organized knowledge to solve practical problems

Basic science laboratory is a place equipped for experimental studies in Basic science
