CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
To examine
the problems affecting the implementation of Social Studies curriculum in some
selected Junior Secondary Schools in Alimosho Local Government Area of Lagos
State.
This chapter
is arranged under sub-sections as given below.

to the Study, Statement of the Problem, Purpose of the Study, Significance of
the Study, Research Question, Delimitation, Limitation of the Study and

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The word
Social Studies as a subject in Nigerian School curriculum came into being 1969.
Before then, an objective study of the Nigeria social norms and values in
schools was introduces (Nigeria Education Research Council N.E.F.C. 1969).
The first
experience on Social Studies in Nigeria came as a result of a joint venture
between the defund Western Regional Government and University of Ohio U.S.A. in
1988.
But the
introduction did not last long. However, in 1963 Social Studies education
programme was officially introduced into Nigeria schools (Olawapo 1991).
In Lagos
State Schools, it is discovered that teaching of the subject did not commence
simultaneously in all the Junior Secondary School. Largely due to the period
that some of the schools were founded.
In Alimosho
Local Government Area of Lagos State most of the schools were founded in the
80’s and introduction of this subject into this school has remained a success
till date. The diffusion of Social Studies into the school curriculum came
through the search for redirection in Nigeria of the inherited colonial
education system top meet the growing needs of the country.
Thus, the
national policy on education declared that the Nigeria philosophy on education
is based in the interaction of effective citizenship. However, in the objective
of Social Studies which is to socialize and humanize the individual in order to
live effectively and in harmony with other and develop in children a positive
attitude to citizenship and desire in them to make a positive personal
contribution to their community and creation of a United Nigeria.
In Nigeria
schools, the problems that is affecting the implementation of Social Studies
curriculum in Junior Secondary Schools are numerous such as time given on the
timetable for Social Studies student is not enough, instructional materials are
nor available. Moreso, there is no enough library to supplement teachers
effort.
It was in
this context that the contribution of Social Studies teacher is crucial because
it is through that the laudable and valuable objectives of Social Studies could
be inculcated into our students.
This
research study therefore sets out to identify some of the various problems
facing the Social Studies teachers and their student in Junior Secondary
Schools in the implementation for their Social Studies curriculum. And to
suggest possible solution to some of the identified problems in order to bring
about effective teaching and implementation of the Social Studies curriculum in
our Junior Secondary Schools.
