A SURVEY OF EFFECTIVE LEARNING OF ISLAMIC STUDIES AMONG N.C.E. STUDENTS IN FEDERAL COLLEGE OF EDUCATION PANKSHIN, PLATEAU STATE

This study focused on factors militating against effective learning of Islamic studies among students in Federal College of Education Pankshin, Plateau State especially with regard to challenges of conceptualization, institutionalization, material and human resource development. To carry out the study, a total of ninety seven (97) students were used. The data collected were analyzed using Percentages. The result showed that poor conceptualization of the discipline and teachers' poor teaching methods tended to hinder the interest of students in learning the subject. However they are still proud to belong to the department even in future. It has therefore been suggested that NCCE curriculum planners should fight for the inclusion of Religious studies in the senior secondary schools to give the students the moral focus in their life which will in turn change the moral status of our nation
