Abstract:
The study assessed how the Economics curriculum was being used in Delta State's secondary schools. The research used a descriptive survey approach. The study used 469 Economics teachers as its sample. The tool used to gather data is a questionnaire. The reliability of the instrument was assessed using Cronbach Alpha, and a coefficient index of 0.70 was obtained. The data were analysed using the mean. The findings indicated that: the content of the Economics curriculum is being implemented in secondary schools in Delta State to a moderate extent; the facilities available for the implementation of the Economics curriculum in Delta State are insufficient; teachers use the students' activities as prescribed in the Economics curriculum to a low extent; and the acceptable teaching strategies suggested for the Economics curriculum were infrequently employed, although Economics teachers frequently used the suggested evaluation strategies to evaluate students. The study came to the conclusion that only in the areas of Economics curriculum contents, students' activities utilisation, adequate facilities, teaching methods, and evaluation procedures was the fair application of the economics curriculum in Delta State's senior secondary schools. In order to ensure that the Economics curriculum is implemented appropriately, it was advised that it be evaluated on a regular basis in senior secondary schools. Once more, the government and other education partners should provide adequate facilities, instructional materials, infrastructure, and social amenities for the proper implementation of the Economics curriculum.
