Abstract
This study sets to evaluate the implementation of NCE Social Studies
curriculum in the North-Western zone of Nigeria. It considers five research
questions and hypotheses on the curriculum contents coverage, qualification of
teachers, funding of the programme, regular attendance of workshop and
seminars as well as the creation of climate that is conducive for learning. The
respondents for the studies are the lecturers of social studies and school
management staff of the school under study. The population of the respondents
is 108. A sample of 108 was used because the population was not much to
leave anybody out of the study. The Pearson product moment correlation was
used in the analysis of data at an alpha of 0.05 level of tolerance. The selfreport
questionnaire, observation and check list were the instruments used for
the study. The study reveals significant relationship between implementation of
social studies curriculum contents and adequate curriculum content coverage,
the qualification of lecturers, the provision of fund by government, the
attendance of seminar, conferences, work shop by lecturers, the creation of
climate that is conducive by the school administration to proper implementation
and learning, The whole null hypotheses were rejected. This work
recommended that the federal government particularly the ministry of education
should provide adequate fund for building numerous spacious class rooms for
Social Studies student and for the purchase of instructional materials and
facilities needed for proper implementation of the programme. Lecturers with
requisite academic qualification and enduring years of experience should be
used to effectively implement the NCE Social Studies curriculum in the Federal
Colleges of Education. Lecturers should always display high level of
commitment to their job, acceptable moral and maturity disposition both within
