[...] According to Kidzu Thomas Oweh, teacher has the greatest potential to influence the
student’s education, while a student achievement is related to teacher’s competence in
using different methods of teaching. Thus, students achieve more when teachers employ
systematic teaching procedures that make teaching and learning processes easier. In other
words, excellent academic per formance by students is not only attainable but could also
be sustained through teacher method of teaching.
These study therefore, examine the level of use and effectiveness of some selected
methods of teaching economics in Lagos state secondary schools, specifically how
teacher’s effectiveness would bring about excellent academic performance through
appropriate use of method of teaching.
The purpose of these research works are stated below:
i. To ascertain how learner attitude affect the method of teaching the students.
ii. To identify the teaching methods, their academic performance and the factors
affecting the students.
iii. To evaluate the effects of method of teaching economics on the performance
of students.
iv. To examine the teacher methods of teaching and their qualification.
v. To know the relationship between teacher methods and learning experience.
vi. To establish relationship between teacher’s methods of teaching economics
and learner academics achievement.
