Abstract
This paper reviews the implementation of Science Curriculum for secondary schools in Nkanu East local government area of Enugu State. Two research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. Descriptive survey research design was adopted. There was no sampling because the population was manageable. The entire population of four hundred and forty science teachers in Government owned secondary schools in Nkanu East local government area of Enugu State was used; Science Curriculum Implementation Process Questionnaire was used for data collection. The reliability coefficient for the entire instrument was 0.78. The data collected were analyzed using mean and standard deviation for answering the research questions while t-test was employed to test the hypotheses. The findings include that the methods adopted by the science teachers are demonstration, experimental and discussion methods and significant difference exists in the mean rating of male and female teachers that utilize the available instructional materials for teaching and learning science only to a less extent, teachers use the recommended evaluation techniques in assessing their students to a moderate extent, students’ poor background from basic science, under-funding of education, lack of laboratory facilities and inadequate number of trained science teachers were the problems militating against the implementation of the national curriculum to a moderate extent. It was recommended among others that the science content should be monitored periodically to access the extent to which the objectives are being achieved.
