Topic: ISLAMIC STUDIES CURRICULUM

Description: The importance of the curriculum in the educational sector cannot be overemphasized. It is pivotal to the success or achievement of the educational goals and thus I have a keen interest in this research area. The whole process of developing a curriculum from the all-important area of needs assessment through the planning, design, implementation, innovation, control and down to evaluation is both fascinating and interesting. In a research done by me, the data collected were analyzed and the findings of the study revealed that: 1. There are not enough teachers of Islamic studies teachers in the selected schools. 2. The attitude of the Islamic Studies students is quite encouraging. 3. The teachers are not well acquainted with the 21st century skills? 4. The teachers level of awareness of the curriculum as a document is high 5. The suggested methodologies and instructional materials for the teaching-learning of Islamic Studies are adequate. 6. The student-teacher ratio in the Islamic Studies class is high. 7. Teachers perceptions of the adequacy of the curriculum is positive. 8. Teachers do not carry out innovations in the teaching of Islamic Studies periodically in the implementation of the curriculum. All these are and should interest a teacher.
