Abstract
ABSTRACT
This study was undertaken to find out the extent to which
poor performance of students in the General Certificate of Education
(G.C.E) examination in business subjects is attributable to
poor teacher preparation. The study attempted to find out whether
business teacher education programmes in Benue State actually
produce business educators who can effectively teach business
subjects in the secondary schools.
The data for the study which consists of examination scores
was collected from the Colleges of Education, Katsina Ala and
Ankpa which constituted the population of the study. The stratified
sampling method was used. All the final year students formed
the sample.
The statistical method used in analysing the data is the
Product Moment Co-efficient of Correlation (r). This method was
employed in order to find out the relationship between the
dependent and independent variables. The correlated t-test was
used to determine whether the relationship between the dependent
and independent variables was significant.
The results showed that there is a significant relationship
between the knowledge of business studies subjects and teaching
effectiveness. It also showed that there is a significant relationship
between the knowledge of secretarial studies and
performance in teaching practice.
The study made specific recommendations which include:-
vi.
1. Introducing a course - "Method of teaching
business studies subjects" in business teacher
education programme;
2. Integrating the knowledge of Business studies
and practice of teaching. More time should be
devoted to mini-teaching;
3. More time should be devoted to the study of
business studies subjects so as to improve
students' performance in business studies
since the study shows that the more one knows
business studies the more likely one is able
to teach the subjects well;
4. Further research should be conducted along
similar lines but on a national scale
especially to compare the programmes of the
N.C.E. and T.T.C. in business education.
