based approach for teaching and learning science subjects in senior secondary schools in
Ekiti State, Nigeria. The significance of this study revolves round the prominence given to
science education being a mechanism for realising national advancement in Nigeria. This
was emphasised in the Nigeria National Policy on Education (2013) as the Federal
Government of Nigeria adopted science education as an instrument for effecting national
development. This study addressed the following research questions: What is the status of
secondary school libraries in Ekiti State, Nigeria? To what extent does the quality of library
resources influence science curriculum implementation? To what extent do science teachers
advocate using information resources beyond textbooks? | en_US |
