Assessment of Life-Approach Method of Teaching Christian Religious Studies: A Survey of Selected Senior High Schools in Brong Ahafo Region

ABSTRACT

The study assessed the use of Life-Approach method of teaching Christian Religious Studies in Senior High Schools in the Brong Ahafo Region. To be specific, the study looked at the use of the method, problems associated with its use, instructional resources available to support its use and how teachers’ instructional practices conform to the Life-Approach method. The descriptive survey design was employed to carry out the study. The purposive and simple random sampling techniques were used to select 36 teachers and 319 students of Christian Religious Studies (CRS). Questionnaire and observation guide were the instruments used in collecting the data. The data were analysed through the computation of frequencies, percentages, means and standard deviation. CRS teachers use the Life-Approach method to a large extent and their instructional practices conform to the method. The only problem they faced in using the method is inadequate instructional resources to support the use of the method. Though Christian Religious Studies teachers have the requisite professional qualification, their efforts would not yield good results if the Ghana Education Service fails to provide them with the necessary instructional resources.
