ABSTRACT
The study assessed contents of selected Junior Secondary School Social Studies Education textbooks used in Kaduna State and implications for curriculum review.
The variables examined were national curriculum, readability of registers, and the technical provision of textbooks.
Three objectives, research questions and hypotheses were formulated. The research design adopted and used was survey design.
The population of the study comprises of all Social Studies Education teachers in Kaduna state, the sample population was 275 Social Studies Education teachers in the five Local Government Area of the research study; Kaduna North, Kaduna south, Zango Kataf, Kachia and Jema‟a Local Government Areas.
The instrument for data collection used was the questionnaire. They were distributed to respondents within the research areas.
Three null hypotheses were analysed using Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient at 0.05 level of significance.
The result of the first hypothesis revealed that, significant relationship existed between the contents of the selected Social Studies Education textbooks and the national curriculum.
This is because the calculated p-value 0.000 was less than the o.o5 level of significance at a correlation index r level of .993 at df 273.
Hence the null hypothesis which states that, there is no significant relationship between assessment of contents of selected Junior Secondary School Social Studies Education textbooks and national curriculum was here by rejected.

INTRODUCTION
Background to the Study
Social Studies Education is a programme of study which has some allocated time on the time table for instruction. It is considered as a programme that is a by-product of the society in which it is to be implemented.
It is also a programme which emphasizes the relationships human beings have with their physical and social environment.
From these variables, Social Studies Education is defined, according to Kissock (1981), as a programme of study which a society uses to instil in students the knowledge,
skills, attitudes and actions it considers important concerning the relationship human beings have with each other, their world and themselves.
To Aina, Adedoyin, Obilo, & Ahmadu (1982) Social Studies Education is the study of man in his totality, it draws from a variety of sources to relate the individual to social environment developing the right attitudes,
values and abilities to help him grow to become a responsible citizen capable of performing his civic and national obligations.
