Education being a very important tool for individual and national development cannot be
neglected and undermined. This study was conducted to determine the influence of teachers’
characteristics (teacher’s qualification, experience etc) on effective teaching and learning of
Agricultural science. The design adopted was a descriptive design of the survey type. A sample
of 100 students was randomly selected from 10 schools in Asa, Kwara State. The instrument
used was a structured questionnaire divided into five sections. Frequency count was used to
answer the research questions, while Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to test the
hypotheses. The findings of the research showed that teachers qualification, teaching experience,
method of teaching and their attitude all have significant influence on effective teaching and
learning of Agricultural Science. Based on the findings, it was recommended that during delivery
of instruction, teachers should use a variety of teaching methods/equipment; Teaching and
learning materials and ICT tools including computers should be made readily available in schools
by the authorities and teachers should endeavor to attend workshops and seminars to improve
on their teaching skills and effectiveness.
