Challenges in the Implementation of the Transformed Secondary School Physics Curriculum in FCT, Abuja, Nigeria.

Abstract

This study investigates the Challenges in the Implementation of the Transformed Senior Secondary School Physics Curriculum FCT, Abuja, Nigeria. In this study, descriptive design method was adopted. The target population for the study comprises all the Physics Teachers in 56 Government Senior Secondary School in FCT Abuja. The sample of the study comprised of available 32 Physics Teachers from 20 randomly selected schools. The questionnaire of 18 items was used for trial testing, data collected were analysed using Cronbach Alpha to obtain 0.72 reliability coefficient after validation. To guide the study, two research questions and one hypothesis were formulated. Data collected were statistically analysed using mean rating responses to answer and analysed the research questions, the t-test statistic was used to test and analysed the research hypotheses. The findings showed that government inadequate provisions of resource materials and lack of much period in the time table among others constitute challenges toward effective implementation of the transformed physics curriculum. In the light of the findings and their implementations, recommendations were made to eliminate the challenges of resource materials and time allocation in the time table among other challenges.
