The study investigated the use of project as a comprehensive instrument for assessing
chemistry learning outcome in the classroom. The subjects for the study comprised of 120
teachers (78 female and 42 male) selected through random sampling technique. The
instrument for data collection was questionnaire. Mean score and t-test statistics were
used for data analysis. Results showed that chemistry teachers in secondary schools do not
use project regularly in the teaching and learning process. The findings showed the
challenges posed by knowledge of the use of project to secondary school teachers which
translate into the acquisition of skills in the use of project for aiding instructions in schools.
Finally, the study recommends a number of strategies to enhance effective use of projects in
secondary schools.
