Abstract
ABSTRACT
The Primary Education Improvement Programme
(Science) took off in 1970. Three teachers guides
entitled Primary Science one, two and three including work
books for children had been written by 1978.
No evaluative study of the programme was made
in Jalingo Local Government area of Gongola State.
This study investigated the availability of books
and other instructional materials and the attendance of
teachers at training sessions designed to acquaint them
with the programme. It also investigated the performance
of project and non-project school children on a test of
process skills.
Two instruments were used to collect data in the
study. They are: A questionnaire for teachers and a
process test instrument for children.
The results indicated that most of the teachers were
improperly trained for the programme. The result also
indicated that children attending the PEIP Project schools
did not perform better than
xii
children in non-project schools.
It was recommended that teacher training be carried
out at the curriculum development centre of the Institute
of Education, Ahmadu Bello University Improper training
of teachers seemed to be the limiting factor to the success
of the programme.
