Method of teaching in nigerian universities

Abstract

Contemporary society requires learners to develop abilities and skills besides having a basic knowledge of a discipline. This is because knowledge and technology becomes outdated rapidly and is updated constantly; much of what students will need to know in their future career after graduation has not yet been generated! This knowledge explosion cannot be solved by adding more courses. Therefore, the responsibility of teachers in university or college is not only to teach the students with the particular or professional knowledge of their discipline but also to help them develop successful lifelong learning skills. This has remained the philosophy and guiding principles of teaching in Nigerian Universities. Thus, different teaching methods are employed by university teachers in Nigeria depending on the course content. However, there are generally approved and outstanding modern methods of teaching prevalent in Nigerian universities. It is the aim of this paper to discuss some of these methods.
