| Abstract: The study determined students’ knowledge of National Value as well as their levels of value self-efficacy in Civic Education among senior secondary school students. It also investigated the influence of value self-efficacy on students’ knowledge of National Value and finally examined the influence of gender and ethnicity on students’ knowledge of National Value in Civic Education. The study adopted survey research design. Senior secondary school students constituted the population for the study. Six hundred and two (602) students were sampled using simple random sampling technique. Two instruments were used for the study. These include: Value Self-Efficacy Scale (VSES) and National Values Orientation Test (NVOT). The instruments were developed by the investigator and validated before use. Two research questions were asked and answered, and three hypotheses were tested and verified. The results showed among others that 92.5% of the students had high value self-efficacy and there was a significant influence of ethnicity on students’ knowledge of National Values (F=9.391, p<0.05). The study concluded that students’ knowledge of National Value is low whereas their value self-efficacy is considerably high. |
