Appraising the role of reproductive health, family planning, maternal and child care in the context of population stablization in Africa
(Nigerian school health association (NSHA), 2000) Emeke, E. A
In a world of about 5.6 million people, growing by nearly 100million more every year, the future of the planet and especially the portin of it known as Africa, depends on promoting population stabilization. The roles reproductive health, family planning, maternal and child care can play in the achievement of thses population stabilization form the focus of this paper. Factors affecting population stabilization can be classified into two groups; namley background variables and intermediate or proximate variables. The former includes cultural, psychological, economic, social, health and environmental factors. The proximate determinants are those factors that have direct effect on population stabilization. The background factors operate through the proximate determinants to influence the stabilization of population since they do not have direct influence. This paper assesses the relative effect of four proximate determinants on population stabilization namely, reproductive health, family palnning, maternal care and child care, illustrating different effects of each factor.

Determinant of students' cognitive achievement in senoir secondary school physics: how important is test response mode?
(2006) Emeke, E. A; Adegoke, B. A
In this paper, the authors, using the ex-post -factor procedure, examine the effect of test response mode (essay and objective tests) on students' scholastic achievement in physics at the senior secondary school level. The sample consisted of 475 SSII students(233 males and 242 females) drawn from seven randomly selected senior secondary schools in Ibadan south east local government area of Oyo state. Data analysis was done using mean scores and t-test (paired and independent sample). Results showed that: students performed better in objective test than in essay test. There was no significant difference in the performance of male and female students in the objective test. Male students performed better than female students in essay test. The authors offered suggestions on what physics teacher could do to help students achieve better results in physics essay tests and sustain thier interest in physics, and more importantly improve their overall performance in physics
Effect of indirect and direct teacher influence on dependent-prone students learning outcomes in geometry
(2006-07) Emeke, E. A; Adegoke, B. A
Personality factors and teachers' teaching style are among the many factors that affect students' learning. In the study, the writer examine the effect of direct and indirect teacher influence on dependence-prone students' learning outcomes in geometry at the senior secondary school level. The top 25% (216) based on the scores of 864 on a dependence-prone test were used in the study. The 216 identified dependence-prone students were divided into two groups and each was exposed to the two constracting teacher-talk strategies (direct verus indirect). Using both descriptive and multivariate statistical analysis, results showed that treatment contributed significantly to the variations in the dependent-prone students' mean cognitive achievement in geometry. A major implication of this study is that closer supervision through the use of direct influence, an all common antidote to lower achievement in mathematics and the sciences, may be harmful to dependent-prone students

The implementation strategies also employed are purely lecture and enquiry. The implications for pedagogical practices are discussed.
Global view of activities of UNICEF on child survival, protection and development
(Journal of School Health Education, 1999) Emeke, E. A
United Nations children Education Fund(UNICEF) has invovled itself in a number of programmes. This paper, however, focuses mainly on those programmes directly related to child survival namely: health, nutrition, Water and Enviromental Sanitation(WES). The issues of child labour abandoned children and children with disabilities are the focus when discussing UNICEF's activities in the area of child protection. Education is touched on as a direct correlate of UNICEF's involvement in child development. Since the paper is taking a global view of UNICEF's activities, it does not concerntrate on any country per se. Focus on any particular country, be it Nigeria or any other one will be necessary if country programmes and activities were being discussed. Though the paper points out clearly that UNICEF has achieved quite a lot of successes in the paper's programmes of focus in many countries, the paper concluded by calling on UNICEF not to rest on its oars since there is still a lot more that can be achieved; and also that country governments, NGOs and other well meaning individuals should join hands with UNICEF to protect and develop the child, thereby seeing to his survival

The study used 160 foreign students doing their first degree at the university of Ibadan, Nigeria. Using stratified random sampling, the sample consists of 20 males, 20 females Internally Controlled (I-C) and 20 males, 20 females, Externally Controlled (E-C) Africans and another 20 males, 20 females Internally Controlled (I-C), 20 males, 20 females Externally Controlled (E-C) non- Africans. The analysis of the students' score on an adjustment inventory shows that the Internally- Controlled (I-C), males African students were better adjusted than thier Externally Controlled (E-C), female Non- African counterparts.

Participants consisted of 600 students (370 boys and 230 girls) from four senior secondary schools in four educational zones of Oyo state. The oarticipants who were SS2 students with age ranging between 14 and 20 years with a calculated mean age of 16.2 years and a standard deviation of 3.6 were randomly selected. The students responded to valid and reliable instruments namely: locus of control scale, self-concept and emotional intelligence scale and general aptitude test. Data analysis involved multile regression, to examin the predictive effect of locus of control, self concept and emotional intelligence on the students'academic achievement. Results showed that the variables when taken jointly and relatively, predicted and the need for guidance services in Nigerian secondary schools was also stressed.
