Abstract
This study involved testing primary Class I and II
children in the Shomolu area of Lagos State with the Test of
Process Skills (TOPS), The test scores of these children in
PEIP and non-PEIP schools at the same class levels in the
North of Nigeria (Brown 1978).
Few significant differences in the scores of the children
were observed. An analysis of the scores of the children in the
individual test item revealed that some items needed modification.
The overall results of the study indicated that the TOPS
was a reliable instrument which could be used in the Lagos area
of Nigeria to measure the children's ability to practice process
skills. It was recommended that further testing be carried out
using children in the higher classes of the primary school and
also that certain items of the test be modified to make it more
reliable.
