SUMMARY:Context\, Input and Implementation Challenges on Learning Outcomes in  Geography
DESCRIPTION:Summary\nEvidence has shown that some of the objectives of geography are hardly met. Research interests have been more on interventions especially on strategies to improve students’ learning outcomes in Geography than on evaluation of the context\, input and implementation challenges. Therefore\, this study was carried out to evaluate students’ perception\, curriculum objectives\, content\, resources\, time allotted\, methods of teaching\, pedagogical practices\, and implementation challenges on learning outcomes in geography. The descriptive survey design was adopted. The multi-stage sampling method was deployed to select 94 teachers and 1800 students of geography. Students’ perception contributed most to achievement (b=0.08; t= 4.02; P<0.05)\, content had the most contribution to skills attainment (b=0.01; t= 0.39; P>0.05) while\, students’ perception also had the highest contribution to practices (b=0.24; t=13.33; P<0.05). All independent variables contributed jointly to students’ achievement\, skills and practices. \nSession Focus\nSecondary/High School | Curriculum and Instruction | Geography Curriculum\, Learning Outcomes\, Teaching and Learning \n Conference Room\nIowa \nMeet the Presenter\nDr. Abimbola Andrew Olayemi is the Principal of Jemibewon International Academy\, Kogi State\, Nigeria.
