development in Nigeria, features of American

challenges of the science education reforms, and
implications for science education in Nigeria were

into highlighting the implications for the
professional development of science teachers in
Nigeria. In particular, attention was given to
science literacy, society and technology as basic
indices of science education at all levels of the
educational system. Hence, conclusions and
recommendations were made.
