Teachers Competence in Research Writing: A Systematic Approach

Abstract

Research methodology is not only one of the requirements for the award of a degree in the Nigerian tertiary institutions but also one of the tools for measuring teachers’ competence. Oftentimes, students in the Nigeria tertiary institutions do face the problem of what constitute the fundamental principle of a research due to improper training on how a competent-based research is being carried out. This unit is set to educate the readers and students in the tertiary institutions on the requirements of a well-articulated research with a bid to reducing the acrimony that do exist between the supervisors and the supervisees while students are writing their long essays or project. Human beings on performing their daily activities encounter various forms of problems which necessitate solutions. The solutions to these problems will require research into the problems, which connotes investigation, finding out, again and again.
