THE IMPACT OF SOCIAL STUDIES EDUCATION ON THE POLITICAL AWARENESS OF SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS FOR CITIZENSHIP DEVELOPMENT IN NIGERIA

ABSTRACT

The study investigated the impact of Social Studies education on the political awareness and political orientations of JSS III students for citizenship development in Nigeria. Six research hypotheses were raised to guide the study. The Test Instrument which provided the basis for data collection in the research was titled, “Political Awareness Test in Social Studies Education for JSS III students”. This Test Instrument comprised of three main sections, namely: “Political Awareness Cognitive Test in Social Studies Education”; “Political Awareness Affective Test in Social Studies Education”; “Political Awareness Psychomotor Test in Social Studies Education”. The data which accrued from these various components of the Test Instrument revealed significant difference in the average performance of these JSS III students from the six geo-political zones of the country. Also, the scores which accrued from the totality of this “Social Studies Test Instrument” bore significant relationship with the scores which were respectively derived from the three components (Cognitive Test Scores, Affective Test Scores, and Psychomotor Test Scores) of the “Test Instrument” employed in the study. It was only in connection with the scores derived for hypothesis 5 that significant difference in the average performance of male and female students in the regard to Social Studies Achievement Test” was not observed. The result of the finding which emanated from this study prompted the following recommendations from the investigator, namely: a provision of better learning facilities in all public schools so that students’ performance in Social Studies education could be improved; a provision of in-service courses, workshop, conferences, seminars and induction courses for teachers of Social Studies education as a basis for their increased and improved performance in their subject; and a recognition of the need for inviting Nigerian legislators and other resource persons to talk to students on political issues from time to time.
