Abstract

The population consisted of secondary school teachers. The sample was made up of 480 teachers selected across the 16 local government areas of the state. Self-designed instrument tagged Curriculum Implementation Questionnaire (CIQ) was used to collect data for the study. The instrument which was validated by research experts had a reliability coefficient of 0.74 using test-retest method of reliability. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics.
