dc.description.abstractNigeria is currently facing the problem of religious conflicts and wave of intolerance is on the increase. The nation is gradually being polarized along ethnic and religious lines; the need to seek failure of religious dialogue. Seminars and workshops were held to attain the desired peace needed for national development, but with result. It is necessary to seek other reliable means of solving religious problems among students and the nation at large. It is against this backdrop that this study sought the use of social studies education as a means by which students of colleges of education in Kaduna State can attain ethnic and religious tolerance. Six research objectives, questions and hypotheses were raised for the study. A sample of 250 respondents was drawn from a population of 940 NCE 2 and NCE3 students of Federal College of Education Zaria and College of Education GidanWaya in Kaduna State. The data for the study was collected using a researcher designed questionnaire. The design adopted for this study was descriptive survey design. The data gathered were analysed using percent, mean, standard deviation t-test and one-way ANOVA. Three hypotheses (Ho: 2, 3 and 6) were retained and three were hypotheses (Ho: 1, 4 and 5) were rejected. The study found: a significant difference between the mean perception scores of NCE II and NCE III students on the influence of Social Studies Education on ethnic and religious tolerance; no significant difference between the mean opinion scores of male and female Students influence of Social Studies on ethnic and religious tolerance; no significant difference between the mean opinion scores of the students based on religious affiliation on influence of Social Studies on ethnic and religious tolerance; a significant difference between the mean perception scores of the students based on age on influence of Social Studies on ethnic and religious tolerance; a significant difference between the mean perception scores of the students vii based on college type on influence of Social Studies on ethnic and religious tolerance; and no significant difference between the mean opinion scores of the students based on tribe on impact of Social Studies on ethnic and religious tolerance. This study recommends among others that: Social Studies Education courses on ethnic and religious tolerance should be offered by non NCE Social Studies students as electives as a necessary step to ensuring that the citizenry has all information needed for ensuring ethnic and religious tolerance; the teachers of Social Studies Education at NCE level should be made to update their knowledge and skills on how to effectively translate the content of ethnic and religious tolerance through seminars, workshops and conferences organized by governments and professional bodies; and Social Studies Education should be taught in senior secondary school to enable smooth transition to NCE levelen_US
