dc.description.abstractThe study assessed contents of selected Junior Secondary School Social Studies Education textbooks used in Kaduna State and implications for curriculum review. The variables examined were national curriculum, readability of registers, and the technical provision of textbooks. Three objectives, research questions and hypotheses were formulated. The research design adopted and used was survey design. The population of the study comprises of all Social Studies Education teachers in Kaduna state, the sample population was 275 Social Studies Education teachers in the five Local Government Area of the research study; Kaduna north, Kaduna south, Zango Kataf, Kachia and Jema‟a Local Government Areas. The instrument for data collection used was questionnaire. They were distributed to respondents within the research areas. Three null hypotheses were analysed using Pearson product moment correlation coefficient at 0.05 level of significance. The result of the first hypothesis revealed that, significant relationship existed between the contents of the selected Social Studies Education textbooks and the national curriculum. This is because the calculated p value 0.000 was less than the o.o5 level of significance at a correlation index r level of .993 at df 273. Hence the null hypothesis which states that, there is no significant relationship between assessment of contents of selected Junior Secondary School Social Studies Education textbooks and national curriculum was here by rejected. The result of the second hypothesis showed significant relationship, because the calculated p value of 0.000 was less than the 0.05 level of significance at a correction index r level of .995 at a df 273. This null hypothesis was also rejected. The out come of the analysis led to the rejection of the third hypothesis also because the calculated p value of 0.001 was less than the 0.05 level of significance at a correlation index r level of .985 at df 273. This implies that there is a significant relationship, between the contents of selected Junior Secondary School Social Studies Education textbooks and technical provision of Social Studies Education textbooks. The study recommended that, these textbooks be adopted in Nigerian schools generally, and Kaduna state in particular. Also, that author of textbooks should write along side the objectives of the subject and that of the national policy on Education to have harmonious and well trained personnel capable of tackling the societal problems. In addition, the textbooks should contain teachers‟ and students guides as supplementary materials, to enable students read on their own and understand the contents of concepts in Social Studies Education.en_US
