Abstract

This study evaluated the NCE Arabic language curriculum objectives and content in Colleges of Education in North Western Nigeria. The study was conducted with three objectives, three research questions and three null hypotheses. Descriptive survey design was used and the multistage sampling procedure adopted. Frequency count and percentage were used to answer research questions and chi-square was used to test all the null hypotheses at an Alpha 0.05 level of significance. Eighty six subjects were drawn as sample. Questionnaires were used for data collection. The Context, Input, Process and Product (CIPP) model of evaluation was employed. The study findings indicated that: there was no significant difference in the perceptions of lecturers from Federal and State Colleges of Education on the suitability of the curriculum objectives, there was no significant difference in the perceptions of lecturers from Federal and State Colleges of Education on the clarity of the curriculum objectives, and there was no significant difference in the perceptions of lecturers from Federal and State Colleges of Education on the adequacy of the NCE Arabic curriculum content’ for the attainment of its objectives. The study made the following recommendations: that Government should ensure that enough funds are allocated to teacher education; so that purchase of instructional materials including ICT facilities and provision of other facilities are made possible and easier, that Lecturers should adopt methodologies that promote interactive learning and that Language labs should be used in teaching Arabic in Colleges of Education because comprehensive language learning is possible through both classroom and language lab teaching.
