Abstract

This study is on evaluation of sustainable development goal 4 on gender and Basic Science teachers’ attitude in Sokoto State, Nigeria. It is a descriptive study in which a survey research design is employed. The population for this study is made up of 241 Basic Science teachers. The sample used was 51 SDG trained teachers (41 males and 10 female) and 56 non-SDG trained teachers (45 male and 11 females). One research question and one null hypothesis each was stated and analyzed. Basic Science Teachers Attitude Questionnaire (BSTAQ) was the instrument used for data collection. The finding revealed no significant difference between the mean Basic Science teachers’ attitude scores of male and female teachers trained under SDG and those not trained under SDG in Sokoto State. It was therefore recommended that teachers’ professional development should be done by the government without gender bias.
