This study is to examine the quality assessment of teaching social studies in the Federal Colleges of Education in Nigeria using predetermined parameters or mechanism. Such mechanisms include (a) human resources such as lecturers and support staff; (b) materials resources, funding equipment, facilities, promotions and staff development, use of computers in information storage, retrieval and teaching (electronic interactive board).
