Abstract
Textbooks constitute an integral part of instructional media that are adopted to facilitate
teaching-learning process. Thus, this study attempted to carryout teachers’ evaluation of
Al-Ma’dubah ’Al-Adabiyyah, a recommended textbook for teaching Arabic Literature in
Nigerian senior secondary schools. Descriptive research method was employed in the
study. The population for the study was made up of all the teachers of Arabic language at
the senior secondary school level in Kwara State. All the 64 teachers of Arabic language
were purposively engaged in the study. However, only 60 teachers of Arabic language
returned the questionnaires. A 25 – item researcher designed questionnaire was used as
the instrument for data collection. Percentage was used to answer the research questions
postulated for the study while the three hypotheses formulated were tested using t-test
statistics at 0.05 level of significant. The data collected were analysed using the
percentage indices and t-test statistics. The results revealed that the textbook received
positive assessment in terms of its availability, clarity of objectives, consistency with the
senior secondary school Arabic curriculum, suitability, durability and exercises while the
book lags behind in term of adequacy of illustrations. The results also showed that no
significant differences existed in the evaluation of the textbook based on teachers’ gender,
while there existed significance difference in the evaluation of the textbook based on
teachers’ qualification and years of teaching experience. In line with the findings in the
study, it was recommended that the textbook should be retained as an Arabic literature
teaching material for senior secondary schools. Qualified Arabic teachers should be
encouraged to adopt the book while teaching Arabic Literature.
