Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the Sunday
school Programme at N.E.G.S.T. The researcher investigated
the Sunday School's planned activities, teaching methods,
teaching materials, curriculum and facilities as measured
against the aims and objectives of the Sunday School to find
out whether or not the Sunday School was achieving its aims
and objectives. Data was gathered by means of interview,
questionnaires and personal observation. Aims and objectives
were used as criteria for judgment.
Though the Sunday School Programme at N.E.G.S.T. did not
have any written aims and objectives, interview with the
Superintendent and the teachers' responses from the
questionnaires indicated that the aims and objectives of the
Sunday School were: to teach the word of God to children; to
reinforce what Christian parents were teaching their children
at home; to provide Christian teaching for children who came
from non-Christian homes; to enable children to fellowship;
to help children grow in Christian faith and character; and
to provide an alternative avenue of training to children who
might not otherwise have the chance to go to any church
service with their parents, due to transport difficulties.
All the activities of the Sunday School Programme were
found to be geared toward meeting the aims and objectives.
Similarly, teaching methods were found to be based on the
planned activities and teaching materials used were related
to the teaching methods and the planned activities.
