AVAILABILITY OF LABORATORY FACILITIES FOR EFFECTIVE TEACHING – LEARNING
OF CHEMISTRY EDUCATION IN JUNIOR SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN ENUGU NORTH L.G.A
ABSTRACT
The primary objective of this research work was to determine the
availability of laboratory facilities for effective teaching and learning of Chemistry
education in Junior Secondary Schools in Enugu North L.G.A Enugu State,
Nigeria. The descriptive survey research method was used for the study and data
were analyzed descriptively using simple percentages. The results of the study
reveal that school principals’ negative administrative styles and the
inadequacy of duration/time allotted to health instruction in the schools were
a critical factor that affects health instruction in Enugu North L.G.A State
Secondary Schools. The study equally show that lack of laboratory facilities,
lack of relevant textbooks, pamphlets and posters were factors central to the
poor state of education in Junior Secondary School in Enugu North L.G.A. Based
on the findings, we made several recommendations including the need for school
authorities in Enugu North L.G.A to provide relevant and modern textbooks,
pamphlets, posters, computers and other related instructional materials. It was
also recommended that the State Ministry of Education should help in enhancing
the tenets of education by employing more experienced teachers in the
Inspectorate Division of the Ministry had been assigned the responsibility of
visiting the schools regularly in order to ensure that the schools, students
and teachers are adequately implementing and using those facilities.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
In Nigeria as well as in other countries, education is perceived as a
tool for socio-economic and political developments and as such it is accorded
the necessary attention. This position is amplified in the Nigerian National
Policy on Education, which stated that education is an instrument par
excellence for effecting national development, (The National Policy of
Education, 2004). It is added further that education shall continue to be
highly rated in the national development plans because education is the most
important instrument of change and that any fundamental change in the
intellectual and social outlook of any society has to be preceded by
educational revolution.
Recent study by Jekayinka (1998), Suleman Atiku (1997), Ajayi and
Ayodele (2001), proved that adequate supply of instructional resources has
significant effects on student’s performances and enhances the effectiveness of
instructional delivery and supervision.
However, there seems to be in Nigerian schools an alarming shortage and
even complete absence of labouratory facilities. UNESCO (1998), further
stressed that monitoring of learning achievement report on the available
instructional materials and facilities in the 960 sample secondary schools
across the country revealed. An NUC report as cited by ESCO (1998) stated that
academic and physical facilities were in the deplorable states with
insufficient lectures theaters/hall, laboratories and so on.
Thus, one begins to wonder how some of these universities scale the
accreditation hurdle. That is why Ijaiya (2001) opined that the quality of
education being provided for the Nigerian child has become of concern and
lamented on the rot in the educational system. Also, Adeyemi and Igbenewaka
(2001) observed that mismatch between growing enrolment and provision of
facilities especially in respect of seats for students leads to overcrowding.
He added that overcrowding creates undue stress on available space and results
in the creation of rowdy behaviours, hanging outside the classrooms, and
absence from activities around school premises. All these have negative effects
on teaching and learning process.
SCOPE/DELIMITATION
This research work concentrated mainly on Enugu North Local Government
Area in our case study. We also selected some few schools where we conducted
most of our interview and shared our questions.
Enugu North Local Government Area is one of the 17 Local Government
Areas in Enugu State. Administratively, Enugu State is divided into 17 Local
Government Areas. But politically, they are three zones in the local
Government, namely: Enugu North, Enugu South and Enugu West. The highly
cosmopolitan nature of Enugu State is a major boast to high presence of many
academic institutions both private and public, and is all categorized into
primary, Junior and Senior Secondary and Tertiary levels of education.
This however does not mean that these academic places are out of the
loop in terms of academic infrastructure, especially the laboratory facilities.
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
The role of chemistry in the development of science and technology in
modern economy cannot be over emphasized.
This role is multifaceted and multifarious that no area of science and
technology escapes its application (Okereke, 2006)
Ukaeje (1989) described chemistry and the basic sciences as the mirrow
or civilization and the most basic discipline for any person who would be truly
educated an any science.
Despite the importance place on these basic sciences, researchers
(Odili, 1886) Salan, 1985; Amazigo 2000; Agwagah, 2001, had observed that
students lack interest in the thee subjects and perform poorly in them. For
instance, (Ukeje 1986) observed that science is one of the most poorly taught widely
hated and abysmally, understood subject in secondary schools.
The West African Examination Council (WAEC) Chief Examiner (2003, 2004,
2005 and 2006) consistently reported candidates lack of skill in answering
question in chemistry in particular in general.
To buttress his argument, he reported that most candidates avoided
questions on 3-dimensional problems, when they attempt geometry question; only
few of the candidates showed a clear understanding of the problem in their
working.
Although (Okigbo and Oguafor 2008) have carried out research on the
effect of Chemistry education on the achievement of science students, it is not
certain how many of these schools have these science laboratory or laboratories
for the science subjects. We therefore need to adapt to the fast changing
computer age.
Consequently evidence of poor performance in Chemistry education by
secondary school students point to the fact that the most desired
technological, scientific and business applications cannot be sustained.
The study is therefore designed to find out the availability mathematics
or otherwise Chemistry education in JSS in Enugu North LGA of Enugu State.
It is also designed to find out the extent for which these Laboratories
are equipped where they exist.
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
The importance of this study is that it will help to identify the
availability of laboratory facilities in Junior Secondary Schools as well as
the impact these facilities have on the effective teaching and learning of Chemistry
education It will also analyze critically some factors that affect
individual performance of students in the selected schools.
Finally, the researcher proffers solution for those that will read and
implement the work.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The importance of this study is that it will help to identify the
availability of laboratory facilities for effective teaching and learning
of Chemistry education in Enugu North Local Government Area of Enugu
State. This study would also help to provide some information for curriculum
designers and classroom teachers in order to utilize facilities provided for
them and other relevant approaches to enhance meaningful learning of Chemistry
education by students. Thus, the knowledge of students’ cognitive style and
attitude would be very useful in both academic and career enhancement. The
finding from this study is expected to serve as guides for the educated policy
makers towards ensuring that adequate educational facilities are provided in
Enugu state.
