Abstract
Since anything done in school or elsewhere is
almost always for some declared or understood purpose,
we decided to undertake a study to ascertain what
exactly were the declared purposes for teaching the
school certificate history syllabus. This was done
in relation to the fact that stated objectives usually
determine the selection of content and conduct of
examination. It was therefore meant to determine
whether the conduct of examination in the syllabus had
any bearing on stated objectives.
The teachers answered some questionnaires on the
objectives they stated, the teaching techniques they
often used and the teaching materials available. Their
schemes of work and lesson plans were inspected in
attempts to identify the sort of objectives they stated.
Students were also interviewed. This was to know
what objectives the students understood for learning
the various history topics in the syllabus. It was the
year Four students that were interviewed - about thirtynine
of them, three in each school. Their note books
were also inspected.
