Political Science
INTRODUCTION
Course Overview
Admission Requirements
The former approach to the study of Political Science was largely legalistic, traditional and historical hence the justification for the title Government. The contemporary approach to the study, particularly in the higher institution, centres on empiricism, systems approach, the study of political actors, the environment of political system etc. The emphasis is now on systemization of political data and analysis. The new approach justifies the use of the title Political Science. As a teaching subject its philosophy is based on the fact that knowledge of Political Science is an indispensable factor for the realization of a democratic/stable and enduring political system. It is a useful instrument for citizenship as well as for changing negative socio-political values, attitudes and norms. The study of Political Science promotes international understanding and co-operation, mutual assistance, the values of Pan-Africanism and African nationalism. Follow the link bellow to see all the courses in the department The Option is designed to equip the students with the skills, knowledge and methodology needed for effective teaching of Government in secondary schools. The primary objectives of the programme are to:produce proficient teachers of Government who possess sound knowledge of Political Science; produce inspiring teachers of the subject who not only possess confidence, skills and techniques necessary for the teaching of the subject but also possess the proper values and attitudes to Political Science as a discipline; inculcate in the students , the necessary values, skills and techniques for effective and moral leadership; produce the necessary training in citizenship and broaden the students sense and scope of participation in community as well as in national affairs; produce teachers who can foster the growth of international co-operation, co-existence and mutual assistance; and produce teachers who can inspire and inculcate in the students, the values and attitudes of Pan- Africanism, nationalism and African brotherhood.
