摘要
The study looked at how the history curriculum was implemented in senior high schools in the Asuogyaman District of Ghana. The research used a mixed-methods research strategy, particularly the convergent design. The cluster sampling technique, proportional allocation and simple random sampling technique were used to choose a sample size of 200 Form 2 history students and censused 5 history teachers from four public senior high schools in the district. For the students, a 28-item questionnaire was used for data collection. The teachers were interviewed and their lesson delivery was observed. The qualitative data was organized into narrative themes, whilst the quantitative data were analyzed using means and standard deviations. The quantitative data was integrated with the qualitative data throughout the data integration process. From the findings, history teachers frequently used discussion, lecture, and question and answer methods of instruction. The teaching and learning aids used were supplementary textbooks and wall maps. The findings of this study point to the need to improve history teaching. As a result, head teachers of schools should encourage their teachers to lay emphasis more on the use of learner-centred teaching methods. Again, Ministry of Education should provide adequate instructional resources, especially audio and audio-visual resources to the schools.
