Journal of Emerging Trends in Educational Research and Policy Studies (JETERAPS) (Vol 1 No 1)
| Abstract: The paper evaluates the availability of resources for the teaching of science and conduct of practicals in secondary schools in Ankpa Local Government Area of Kogi State, Nigeria. This research is imperative as the results of the study will assist teachers to carefully and properly scrutinize resources for science teaching and learning in our educational school system. The teachers' ability to effectively embark on the above tasks will make Nigeria's quest for technological advancement and competitiveness with other advanced countries of the world by the year 2020 a reality. The population for the study was made up of 22 secondary schools, 42 science teachers and 48 laboratory assistants from all the secondary schools. The sample comprised 20 science teachers and 20 laboratory assistants. Questionnaire, observation and interviews were the tools used for data collection. Frequency and simple percentage were used to analyse the data collected. It was found that the secondary schools used for this study have adequate teaching aids, tools and specimens for classroom teaching and laboratory practicals. Science teachers agreed that there are qualified teachers, enough classrooms and furnitures. Very many equipment and facilities were found lacking. The implications of this on vision 20:2020 was discussed. The paper recommended among others that government should make funding as a priority. |
