Abstract
This research was aimed at evaluating the job performance of Minna College
of Education trainees Business Education Teachers in Niger state Secondary School.
There were 433 subjects' studies. The sample made up of teacher of Business Studies,
and 405 out of 455 Business Studies students in the secondary school of Niger state.
Result of the preliminary study revealed that majority of the teacher of
Business studies were College of Education Minna- COEM graduate. This was
confirmed during the main study where the first hypothesis of no significant
difference to the number of NCE Business studies teacher in the secondary schools of
Niger state tested Negative, this Hypothesis was rejected.
The performance of NCE student on the Business teacher Education
programme was independent of whether or not they had prior knowledge. This is
because student with teacher grade II education background competed favourable well
with student who had WASC/GCE background. Secondary school student however,
signified that Business studies was a worthwhile course because it enabled these
category of students preparation for vocationally oriented graduate.
The business studies teachers (both COEM and NCOEM) graduate agreed that
the curriculum content and syllabi (old and new) were adequate but required
additional training in Vocational and Teacher Education (VTE), Maths/Statistics and
Education Psychology to enhance their future preparation to teach Business studies
more effectively. Furthermore the study revealed that Guidance and Counseling,
Shorthand and typewriting were inadequate for secondary school students to enable
them make wise selection of business subjects for SSCE registration.
While the second and fourth hypotheses of the study were concerned with
preparing Teachers for Business Studies at the secondary schools in Niger State were
retained, the first and third hypotheses concerned with the performance of COEM
graduate taught using old syllabus compared with those taught the new syllabus were
rejected. This was because the subject areas in which addition at will be needed varied
between the two categories of teachers.
Recommendations from the study are thus:
i. That short time seminars or lectures should be organized by the
COEM for Business Studies Teachers of Secondary School in
Niger State. This is with a view to helping them improve their
performance and effective in the teaching of Business Studies
on Post primary schools in the state,
ii. Both COEM and NCOEM graduate will require additional or
further training in VTE, Maths and statistics and psychology to
enhance their performance in their schools,
iii. That Typing and shorthand have not be accorded their rightful
places as student were not found to have taught this subject
areas. There is therefore need for teachers to adopt methods that
will help motivate students to like Business Studies; and
iv. That Business Studies teachers should be included in the JCC
curriculum planning as it affects their programme
implementation in the secondary schools in Niger State.
