ABSTRACT
The study investigated the Effects of Community Resources on Pupils Academic Performance in Social Studies Education in Model Primary Schools Kaduna State. A quasi experimental design was utilized and a pre-test, post-test control and treatment groups were used. The population of the study consisted of 7,669 male and female pupils from twenty four (24) model primary schools in Kaduna State. Two (2) were randomly selected from both urban and rural areas where one school is experimental and the control groups respectively. The treatment groups was taught with a lesson plan and note using community resources while the control group was taught without community resources. Three research questions were stated with three corresponding hypotheses. The data collected was used to answer the research questions and test the hypotheses using mean, standard deviation and t-test respectively. The findings of the study showed that the use of community resources favoured the experimental group in terms of performance than the control in Social Studies Education. One of the major recommendations made is that government should make the use of community resources compulsory, particularly in the teaching and learning of social studies education at lower and upper model primary level in particular, and primary schools in general.
