CIVIC EDUCATION: IMPLEMENTATION CHALLENGES OF CURRICULUM CONTENT IN RIVERS STATE.

Richard Tamunoibuomi, Okoro. C, O

Abstract :

 This study focused on the challenges of implementation of civic education curriculum in Rivers State. Two research questions and two hypotheses were formulated for the study. The research questions were answered using mean and standard deviation as the statistical technique while t–test was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 significant level and the degree of freedom was 908. The result of the findings revealed that lecture method, concept mapping, and the negative roles demonstrated by teachers, hindered the implementation of civic education in the classroom. There is a significance difference between teacher’s opinion on teaching methods and non–availability of instructional aids that challenge the implementation of the civic education curriculum. Detailed results are tabled and useful recommendations made.
