Abstract
The study had four (4) specific objectives, four (4) research questions and four null hypotheses as a guide. The study made use of 710 SSIII agricultural science students and purposively selected 270 as sample. The data collection lasted for about four weeks in which the designed questionnaire was used to collect the data for study. In data analysis mean score and standard deviation were used to answer all the research questions, while regression analysis was used to test the stated null hypotheses. All the null hypotheses were tested at 5% level of significance (p= 0.05). The findings among others showed that utilization of the school poultry farm in teaching and learning of Agricultural Science has a significant influence in the choice of agriculture as a career among secondary school students. The involvement of students in the management of the school poultry farm has motivated them, arouse their interest, improve their skills in agriculture, and influence their choice of agriculture as a career. And gender has influence on choice of agriculture as a career. Based on the findings it was recommended that: curriculum planners and policy makers need to emphasize the importance of utilizing the school poultry farm by teachers when teaching agricultural science in secondary schools; teachers should encourage the students to be actively involved in all practical related topics in order to motivate and arouse students’ interest in agriculture. The use of various practical teaching methods that will fully involve secondary school students should also be employed at all times. And agricultural science teachers should actively involve both male and female in the management of the school poultry farm.
