Research Article Multidisciplinary

Abstract

The study investigated the fish farming training needs for Agricultural Science teachers in public secondary schools in Bayelsa State, Nigeria. Two purposes of the study, research questions and two null hypotheses guided the study. The study adopted a descriptive survey design. The population of the study is 286 teachers (157 males and 129 females) from 207 schools in nine educational zones. Data were collected using a validated 31-item structured questionnaire rated on a four-point Likert scale. The reliability of the instrument was determined using Cronbach Alpha. Data analysis employed mean, standard deviation, and z-test at 0.05 level of significance. The results showed that both male and female teachers expressed a high need for training in the two components. Furthermore, z-test results indicated no significant differences in the training needs. The study recommended that the ministry of education with relevant stakeholders should organize regular, hands-on training and capacity-building workshops to equip Agricultural Science teachers with practical skills in fish farming for more effective classroom delivery.
