Abstract

This paper investigated the supply of science teachers to secondary schools in Ondo State, Nigeria. It was an ex-post facto and descriptive research. The study population comprised all the 281 secondary schools and 4 higher institutions in the State as well as 30 higher institutions from neighbouring States producing teachers for secondary schools. The sample in respect of secondary schools was identical with the population. Since only 2 out of the 4 higher institutions in the State produce teachers, the 2 higher institutions were selected for the study. Out of the 30 higher institutions in neighbouring States, 16 were selected thereby giving a total sample of 18 higher institutions. The method of selection was by multi-stage, purposeful and stratified random sampling. The instrument used was an inventory while the data collected were analyzed using frequency counts and percentages. It was found that science teachers were in less proportion compared to non-science teachers in all the schools. Male science teachers were in greater numbers than female science teachers in the schools. The number of science teachers supplied from higher institutions outside the State was greater than the number supplied from higher institutions within the State The supply of science teachers did not match the demand for them in the schools. It was concluded that higher institutions in the State had not been supplying sufficient number of science teachers to the schools. It was then recommended that more efforts should be made by government to increase the supply of science teachers to schools. Keywords : supply of science teachers, demand for science teachers, enrolment growth rates

尼日利亚翁多州中学科学教师的供应:一个批判性分析

本文调查了尼日利亚翁多州中学科学教师的供应情况。这是一项事后描述性研究。研究对象包括该州所有281所中学和4所高等院校，以及来自邻国为中学培养教师的30所高等院校。中学的样本与总体相同。由于该州4所高等院校中只有2所培养教师，因此选择这2所高等院校进行研究。在邻国的30所高等院校中，选出了16所，从而总共抽样了18所高等院校。选择方法为多阶段、有目的、分层随机抽样。使用的工具是一份清单，而收集的数据使用频率计数和百分比进行分析。结果表明，各学校理科教师的比例均低于非理科教师。在学校里，男理科教师的数量多于女理科教师。州外高等院校提供的科学教师数量大于州内高等院校提供的科学教师数量。科学教师的供应与学校对他们的需求不匹配。结论是，国家的高等院校没有向学校提供足够数量的科学教师。然后有人建议政府应该做出更多的努力来增加学校的科学教师供应。关键词:科学教师供给，科学教师需求，招生增长率
