Abstract

This paper investigated curriculum use disposition of basic school teachers in Osun State using the descriptive research design. A sample of 727 teachers was selected from the basic schools in the study area through the simple and systematic random sampling techniques. Data were collected using Teacher Curriculum Usage Disposition Questionnaire (TCUDQ).Simple linear regression was used to analyze three hypotheses raised at the .05 significance level. There was no significant difference in curriculum usage between lower and upper basic teachers (t = .277, p > .05), on-the- job training attended (Beta = .209, t = 6.500, p < .05) and highest qualification (Beta = .194, t = 5.893, p < .05) significantly predicted curriculum usage, and years of teaching (Beta = .037, t =.960, p > .05), class size (Beta = .019, t = .512, p > .05) and number of teachers in class (Beta = -


.026, t = -.695, p > .05) did not significantly predict curriculum usage.We recommend, among others, that on-the-job training opportunities for basic teachers should be provided by government.
