dc.description.abstractNigeria got her independence 37 years ago. She witnessed s e r i e s of changes in terms of social economic and p o l i t i c a l development which make Nigerians become more and more aware of t h e i r s o c i a l , economic and p o l i t i c a l r i g h t s and e x p e c t a t i o n s. This awareness came as a r e s u l t of changes in government and p e o p l e ' s p a r t i c i p a t i o n in p o l i t i c s which greatly c o n t r i b u t ed to development and understanding of p o l i t i c a l i s s u e s. In ordor to increase the l e v e l of p o l i t i c a l awareness and development, every succeeding government in Nigeria has embarked on enlightenment programmes to educate the masses (people) on t h e i r t r a n s i t i o n programme. Some Social Studies contents l i ke l e a d e r s h i p , followership, r i g h t s and duties of c i t i z e n s , etc. exposed students to basic s k i l l s , a t t i t u d e s v a l u e s , and knowledge that will make them a c t i v e c i t i z e n s . It is the contention of the researcher t h a t the way people f e e l about p o l i t i c s is very important considering the emphasis placed on t h e p o l i t i c a l awareness among Nigerian c i t i z e n s . It is also t he contention of the researcher that p o l i t i c a l s o c i a l i z a t i o n should commence at the grassroots l e v e l of the educational system. This led t h e researcher to i n v e s t i g a t e p o l i t i c a l s o c i a l i z a t i o n of J u n i o r Secondary School I I I s t u d e n t s in Kaduna S t a t e in the three s e l e c t e d zones of Kaduna, Zaria and Lere. The study was therefore conducted to achieve the following o b j e c t i v e s : (1) to examine the relationship between p o l i t i c a l orientation and p o l i t i c a l development of Junior Secondary School; (2) to determine whether or not p o l i t i c a l learning of students differs on account of gender differences; (3) to find out whether there is difference in p o l i t i c al socialization of students on account of the location of their school. To achieve t h i s purpose, the views of four hundred and f i f ty (450) students randomly selected from eighteen (18) secondary schools in Kaduna State, were sou$it through a questionnaire. Out of these three hundred and seventy-seven (377) responded. The data collected were s t a t i s t i c a l l y analysed by usirg percentage (%) t - t e s t , and correlation. Throe hypotheses were formulated and tested. The major findings of this study showed that there was relationship between p o l i t i c al orientations and p o l i t i c a l development of the respondents. It was found that rural and urljan location affected p o l i t i c al socialization of the respondents. It was also discovered that the sex of the respondents had no significant role to play in the p o l i t i c a l socialization of junior secondary school I I I students in Kaduna State.en_US
