AVAILABILITY AND USES OF CHEMISTRY LABORATORY FACILITIES FOR TEACHING CHEMISTRY IN SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOLS OF GWALE LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA, KANO STATE
Abstract
This study investigates the availability and utilization of chemistry laboratory facilities for teaching chemistry in senior secondary schools in Gwale Local Government Area of Kano State. The study aims to determine the extent to which laboratory facilities are available and how effectively they are used in the teaching and learning process. A descriptive survey research design was adopted, and data were collected through questionnaires administered to chemistry teachers and students. The findings reveal that while some schools have basic laboratory facilities, many lack adequate equipment and materials. The study also shows that even where facilities exist, they are not optimally utilized due to factors such as inadequate training, large class sizes, and time constraints. The study concludes that improving both the availability and utilization of laboratory facilities is essential for effective chemistry teaching and learning
