Significance of Study
The
study would create adequate opportunities to the Municipal Directorates
of Education and other related stakeholders of education to know the
challenges pertaining to Agriculture Education in Senior High Schools.
This would help them in organizing in-service training to teachers at
the Senior High School level.
It will benefit other researchers that
may conduct further research to help improve the teaching and learning
of agriculture at the senior high schools level.
The findings of the
study will be helpful to school administrators whose duty is to raise
the standards of the subject in their schools.
Furthermore, the study
will provide insight into the challenges, if any, of the teaching and
learning of agricultural science in SHS level. The issues raised in the
study and the suggestions made would be beneficial in the modification
of facilities and programmes to improve the existing situations in the
schools.
It will also help teachers to find better methods of
handling the subject in order to arouse and maintain the interest of
students in agriculture and help them choose it as a vocation.
Delimitations
The
study is delimited to students in four SHS in Mfantseman Municipal
offering agricultural science as core and /or elective subject. The
agricultural science syllabus is common to all schools in Ghana offering
the subject.
All schools in Ghana offering the subject use the same
textbooks prescribed and supplied by the Ministry of education, Science,
Youth and sport.
Limitations
The primary constraints that limited
the scope of the research are money and time. Hence the research was
confined to three of the four SHS in the Mfantsiman Municipal. The
limited area could decrease the generalisability of the findings.
Organization of Study
The
first chapter of this study deals with the introduction which covers
the background of the study, the significance of the study, the
delimitation and the limitation of the study.
The second chapter is
the review of relevant and related literature. Highlights of methods
used, which comprises of the delimitation of the study area, the
population and sample sizes, the instrument used for gathering the data
and how the instrument was administered, are composed in the third
chapter.
The fourth chapter deals with the presentation and analysis
of data and finally chapter five deals with the discussion of the
findings, summary, conclusion and suggestions.
