that the attitudinal factors on the part of students and teacher related factors
are very important when determine students performance, even through the former
appears to be more important.
The students
attitudinal factors that are most important are students attitude to learning
in general, and to general studies education, in particular students
perceptions as to whether a course is important, also, teacher ability to
motivate students, trapped the list of teachers related factors.
Country to popular belief, the results also show that
Economic /Social Studies Students do not necessarily have preference for Art
course – based GSE course over mathematic.
This study
urge GSE teachers to positively encourage students especially those in social
science (students) the attitude of motivation towards GSE course in the
college.
The study
recommend teacher to generate interest and dedication to the course that
students have wrong attitude towards.

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND
OF THE STUDY.
One of the main features of higher education in Nigeria
before 1995 was the over compartmentalization of academic field of study. There
were no common university courses to all students both at the instructional
level and across the country. Cross – fertilization of knowledge between
humanities and science students were not there.
In 1975, the newly created commissions over see the Nigeria
universities. Nigeria universities commission (NUC) introduced General Studies
Education (NUC) programmed. These programmed were of an two categories which is
commonly referred to a General Study and the faculty wide category I e. General
Studies, which is the main focus of this study, was made compulsory for all
undergraduate students of Nigerian higher institutions.
College of Education, Ekiadolor as it is called today was
established in Benin City in 1996 at Iyaro, as an advanced teachers college for
the training of NCE teachers. The college was formally opened on 15th may 1980
and renamed college of Education, Benin City. An enabling law knows as the
College of Education, Benin City law 1981n was enacted from 2nd October 1999.
The law was revised in 1988, before the College moved to its permanent site at
Ekiadolor about 25 kilometers from Benin City in April 1986.
General Studies Education (GSE) is a compulsory part of the
curriculum for all students admitted into the College of Education, Ekiadolor –
Benin.
The purpose of this said course is for students to have a
broad knowledge need to fit them a going to face after their studies in the
College. The course also serve to supplement the specialized knowledge,
students acquire in their respective discipline GSE course in college are
spread over the three – year NCE programmed. More specifically, the aims of the
College of Education, Ekiadolor. General Studies programmed (as it is, many
other higher institutions in Nigeria) are:
(1) To develop in all students the skill needed for effective
use of English in all communicative situations and for logical reasoning.
(2) To expose students to the cultural feature of their
society and to social and moral obligation there of.
(3) To promote health
education and encourage actions that will lead to a better health practice.
(4) To give students a good foundation in liberal education
by exposing them to some of the foundational questions which philosophers have
been concerned with through the ages?
(5) To equip all students with mathematic and computational
skill. This has high application not only in scientific and technological
skills development, but also in entrepreneur development.
(6) To sharpen the students awareness of the multifarious
dimension and significant of science and technology to the modern world.
Specifically, sensitize them to the benefit as well as the
danger of science and technology to man and his survival in the universe (N. C
Onwueme, 2001).
1.2 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
In this college, many studies have shown the negative
attitudes, Social Science in Education. (GSE). There is also the tendency for
students to think that (GSE) course are of no valve to there than their
departmental course, hence, they develop their a negative all attitudes towards
such course which are likely to affect their performance in the college. This
may be a case of Economic and Social Studies Students in this college.

is made to study the attitude of students towards (GSE) course with particular
reference to part – time students in the Department of Economic and Social
Studies in this college of Education, Ekiadolor.

holders within the institution to take on the necessary adjustments to that
could yield greater interest and better academic performance.
1.4 SIGNIFICANT OF THE STUDY
The importance of a
board-based knowledge to any individual cannot be over emphasized; each of the
GSE courses has its important role to play and something to contribute to the
development of the student. For example, the importance of mathematics – based
GSE courses can be seen in the fact that they can help to build up necessary
skills for further development in the area of science and technology as well as
the ability to effectively manage any organization from the home to a private
business.
These based skill are
needed by all, including Economic/Social Studies Students.
