Abstract
The main concern of this project was to study the teachers'
perceptions of co-curricular activities in ten selected postprimary
institutions in Zaria Local Government Area.
The study was limited to boarding post-primary institutions
in Zaria. The data collection was by a questionnaire which was
administered to the senior and permanent teaching staff of the
post primary boarding institutions.
The questionnaire was designed to determine the teachers'
perceptions with the view of finding answers to the following
questions:
(a) Do teachers accept co-curricular activities as
part of their functions, or do they conceive
of these as imposition by the school principal?
(b) Do teachers take part in co-curricular activities
because of financial reward?
(c) Do teachers think that co-curricular activities
contribute to the attainment of the aims and
objectives of a post-primary institution?
The study revealed that 56% of the teachers did not
perceive co-curricular activities as part of their
responsibilities. More men than women were found to
perceive co-curricular activities as part of their responsibilities.
The study also revealed that the more the teaching experiences
of a teacher, the more negative the teacher perceived co-curricular
activities as part of his responsibilities. 90% of the teachers
did not consider financial reward as a condition for taking
part in co-curricular activities. The study, however, revealed
that 89% of the teachers perceived that co-curricular activities
contribute to the attainment of the aims and objectives of a
post-primary institutions. The reasons for their negative
attitude towards their participation therefore, remains
problematic, which can only be ascertained by future research.
