EVALUATION OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOAL 4 ON GENDER AND BASIC SCIENCE TEACHERS’ PEDAGOGICAL SKILLS IN SOKOTO STATE, NIGERIA

Abstract

This study is on evaluation of sustainable development goal 4 on gender and Basic Science teachers’ pedagogical skills in Sokoto State, Nigeria. It was a descriptive study in which a survey research design was employed. The population for this study was 241 Basic Science teachers. The sample of teachers used in the study was 107 (51 SDG trained teachers and 56 non-SDG trained teachers). Basic Science Teachers’ Pedagogical Skill Questionnaire (BSTPSQ) was the instrument used for data collection. One research question and one research hypothesis was stated and analyzed. The finding revealed no significant difference between male and female teachers’ pedagogical skills of teachers trained under SDG and those not trained under SDG in Sokoto State. It was therefore recommended that pedagogical skills of male and female Basic Science teachers should be appraise periodically by the education inspectors.
