ABSTRACT
In both the United States of America and the United Kingdom, Social Studies emerged towards the turn of the century in response to the problems created by industrialisation. Faced with similar prospects, Nigeria introduced Social Studies into the curricula of her educational institutions in the early 1970s. Up till now, however, the objectives, context and methods of the subject have not been clearly defined in the Nigerian context, and the extent of its diffusion down the educational system not assessed
This study therefore sought to find out the opinions of 26 lecturers of Social Studies at 20 Advanced Teachers' Colleges (ATCs) with a view to finding out their opinions with regard to the objectives, content, instructional techniques, methods of evaluation and adequacy of teaching facilities and equipment. It made attempts to measure the degree of differences existing between their views on the one hand, and compared those views with the opinions of experts of Social Studies in the Universities and 100 students in the ATCs to measure the success of the diffusion process.
