This paper is a case-study of curriculum development in Nigeria. It described and analysed, with hindsight, the principles with which a committee had revised and developed a new social studies curriculum for primary (elementary) schools in Nigeria. An appraisal of the committee's pattern of activities shows the need for curriculum to be flexible, adaptable and functional to a particular circumstances. Moreover, the appraisal shows the inevitability of a curriculum design, willy-nilly, in any curriculum development, as well as the need to make curriculum simple and usable to teachers. In the concluding part of the paper is a brief report of a study conducted to examine the effectiveness of the suggested problems-approach technique in the teaching and learning of social studies in Nigeria. The effectiveness was established in the report, though within a limited purview. |
