dc.description.abstractThis research work examined teachers' perception on the challenges facing the teaching of Yoruba poetry in senior secondary schools in Abeokuta South Local Government Area, Ogun State. Yoruba poetry is divided into two parts; oral or traditional poetry (ewi atenudenu tabi ewi abalaye) and written poetry (ewi apileko). Poetry is one of the three- genres of literature. The oral poetry is dominant in African countries before the arrival of the Europeans. Most of the oral poetry is in the written form now. It is believed that poetry can facilitate the development of cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains of a child, though there are challenges facing the teaching of poetry in senior secondary schools. The research design usedfor this study was a descriptive research of survey type. Fifty’ Yoruba teachers were sampled from 10 schools using purposive sampling technique. Research questions and hypotheses guided this study. A researcher-designed validated questionnaire titled: 'Senior Secondary School Teachers' and Students' Perception on the Teaching of Yoruba Poetry Questionnaire (SSSPTYPQ)' was used to elicit information from the respondents. Descriptive statistics of mean rating and ranking order was used to answer question 1, while the t-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) at 0.05 level of significance were used to analyse the hypotheses. The findings showed that there was no significant difference in the perception of teachers on the challenges facing teaching of Yoruba poetry in Abeokuta South Local Government Area based on gender and educational qualification respectively. However, there was significant difference in the perception of teachers on the challenges facing the teaching of Yoruba poetry based on teachers' experience. Therefore, it was recommended that the wealth of experience of teachers really count when it comes to teaching of Yoruba poems. Thus, teachers with adequate teaching experience should be allowed to handle the poetry aspect of Yoruba andpossibly literature.en_US
