IDENTIFICATION OF FACTORS MILITATING AGAINST EFFECTIVE TEACHING AND LEARNING OF SCIENCE IN ENUGU NORTH LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OF ENUGU STATE
ABSTRACT
This survey sought to identify the factors militating against effective teaching and learning of sciences in secondary schools in Enugu North Local Government Area, Enugu State of Nigeria. The population used for the study consisted of teachers and students of the study schools. The instrument employed for this study consisted a set of structured questionnaires and an interview schedule. The major findings resulting from the survey were the inadequate number of qualified teachers of science; absence of motivation and sufficient incentives for science teachers; students’ low interest in said subject influenced by their unsatisfactory performance in biology, chemistry, physics etc. textbooks and other reading materials on the said subject available in school libraries but not in local bookshops; an inadequacy of equipment and other facilities; a need to modify the present syllabus in science education, opportunities existing in Enugu State for graduates in the said subjects, and satisfactory guidance and counseling services being received by students of Enugu State. Based on the said findings, the researchers recommend the training of more science education teachers and provision of better incentives for those already in the field, especially teachers of chemistry, biology, physics and mathematics.
