The result of the analysis of the textbooks is at variance with the comments and
opinions of some policy makers and scholars such as Badru (2008), Fajemidagba (2000) and
Kalejaiye (2005) probably because their opinions were borne out of students’ learning
outcomes which have been continually poor. In such a case so many probable problems that
may be responsible for poor performance are often cited. Not just because they have taken
time to analyse the textbooks. Other factors which determine learning outcomes include
student-variables, teacher-variables, environment-variables, the curriculum, the policies etc.
Except each factor is partial out and thoroughly researched into (as in this study) one may not
discover to which direction the causative factors are loaded.
