Abstract
The study was carried out on the impact of millennium development goals retraining programme
on job performance and interest among chemistry teachers in daura educational zone, Katsina,
Nigeria. It had six objectives, research questions and null hypotheses. Survey research design
was used for the study. The population for the study was 79 Chemistry teachers from 36
secondary schools in Daura educational zone which comprises of six Local Governments as
sample for the study. These teachers were trained using the Millennium Development Goals
retraining programme to form the experimental group, while thirty six (36) teachers who were
not exposed to the training formed the control group. The instrument for data collection were
adapted version of Egglestone science teachers observation schedule (ETOS), Chemistry
Teachers Interest Questionnaire (CTIQ) and Chemistry Performance Test (CPT) for students
with reliability coefficients of r=0.67 and r=0.87 respectively were obtained. Mean and standard
deviation were used in answering research questions while the PPMC and t-test were used to test
the null hypotheses at p≤0.05 level of significance. Null hypotheses (1-5) were rejected while
hypothesis six was retained. The study showed that Millennium Development Goals retraining
programme had significant influence on students academic performance in chemistry in Katsina
State, Nigeria (p=0.000). The Millennium Development Goals training has impacted positively
