Computer literacy, attitude to computer and learning styles as predictors of physics students' achievement in senior secondary schools of Oyo State
(2019) Dare, S. O.; Abimbade, A.; Abimbade, O. A.; Akinyemi, A.; Olasunkanmi, I. A.
Physics, a subject in the senior secondary school occupies a central position in science education. Physics in this 21st century as a course of study and field is experiencing new discoveries at such a rate that it cannot continue to be taught using only traditional and conventional method and the teacher-centred approach. The invention of computer-based resources for teaching the subject would be a great advantage if explored. Hence, the factors which impede students’ use of computer technology in learning of Physics however need to be investigated. This study investigated three of these factors and found that student’s computer literacy, attitude to computer and learning styles jointly correlate with achievement of students in Physics (R = 0.18) with each factor making respective relative contributions. While computer literacy could not predict the dependent measure (B= -0.055; t = -0.67; p<0.05), attitude to computer could (B- 0.18; t = -1.09; p>0.05) and learning styles could not (B= 0.20; t = 0.25; p>0.05). It was recommended that Physics students should be motivated to learn and be equipped with computer appreciation and operational skills while computer systems need to be made available and accessible for Physics learning in the school system.

Wheelbarrow livelihoods’, urban space and antinomies of survival in Ibadan, south west Nigeria
(Liverpool University Press, 2019) Adebayo, K.; Akinyemi, A.
Wheelbarrows are a common sight in Nigerian cities where they function as an instrument of work among the urban poor. This paper explores how the wheelbarrow is increasingly deployed as a ‘mobile shop’, and describes the livelihoods of urban subjects who use it for street trade and space appropriation in Ibadan, Nigeria. Using 30 in-depth interviews, non-participant observation and picture documentary, we analyse how wheelbarrow street traders reconfigure urban space in everyday encounters with space managers who tax and exploit space users. Findings show that marginal urban subjects invest in wheelbarrows and exert personal agency to create ‘wheelbarrow livelihoods’. The participants use the tool to reconfigure urban space access and negotiate ‘presence’ in the city and engage in ‘visibility’ struggles with shop owners. People on the social margins of cities thrive by adopting livelihood strategies that enable them to occupy and maintain a presence in contentious urban spaces.
