Item 70 Years of Adult Education Researches @ Ibadan(Department of Adult Education University of Ibadan Ibadan, 2019) Kester, K.O.; Odiaka, S. I.; Akinyooye, F. E.Item Psycho-social factors as correlates of job performance of women in the print media in Southwestern, Nigeria(Department of Social Work, University of Ibadan, Nigeria, 2014-06) Odiaka, S. I.; Ogidan, O. T.The effect of communication in any society cannot be ignored. Media play great role in shaping and correcting the vices of the society. The presence of women in the print media has shown that they are relevant and up to the rigorous task of gathering news and meeting deadlines. These they have done in living up to expectations in their various media houses. This thus raises the concern of what could be attributable for this trend of women working in such a demanding profession. Could it be that these women have developed some psycho-social attributes emotional intelligence (EI), self-concept (SC), self-efficacy, (SE) (mentoring, age at job entry, marital status, educational background, socio economic status and number of children), ability to work under pressure and newsworthiness which could have accounted for their job performance? This study, therefore, investigates some psycho-social factors as they correlate with job performance of women in the print media in Southwestern Nigeria. The descriptive survey research design of the ex post facto type was adopted. The total enumeration and stratified random sampling techniques were adopted using 549 women professionals from 12 purposively selected print media houses. A 5 Likert scale questionnaire was administered and complemented with jour sessions of in-depth interviews with selected women in the print media. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, Pearson Product moment correlation, multiple regression and content analysis. The findings show that EI, SE, SC mentoring, age at job entry, marital status, educational background, socio economic status and number of children correlated with job performance of women in the media. The study shows that Psycho-social factors influence job performance of women in the print media in Southwestern Nigeria and priority should be given to these factors while number of children does not influence job performance of these women.Item Effects of two Intervention strategies on achievement in sociology of education among NCE part-time students in some colleges of education centres in Ibadan(2014-12) Odiaka, S. I.; Gbenro, A. I.Reading skill and self-efficacy techniques were used as intervention strategies in enhancing academic achievement of sandwich learners in colleges of education. The pre-test, post test, control, quasi experimental design with 3x2x2 factorial matrix was adopted. Non proportional random sampling technique was used to select sandwich freshmen from the three state colleges of education sandwich centres in Ibadan. Cap method was used to select 50 participants each from each centre assigned to study’s skill (SS) self efficacy (SE) and control group (CG). Three hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. Three instruments were used; study skill assessment scale (r=0.79), self efficacy scale (r=0.85) and Sociology of Education Achievement Test (r=0.93). The data collected were analyzed using Simple Percentage, Frequency Count, Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), multiple classification analysis (MCA) and descriptive statistics of mean and standard deviation. There was significant main effect of the treatment on the academic achievement of the participants (F3, 146 - 77.203, P < .05, η2 = .514). There was significant main effect of marital status (F2, 147= 10.414, P < .05 η2 = .066) while there was no significant main effect of gender (F2, 147 = .869, P >.05, η2 = .000). Reading skill and self efficacy strategy were effective in enhancing academic achievement of sandwich learners in colleges of education. Therefore, they should be introduced in colleges of education to enhance the academic achievement of sandwich learners.Item Interlanguage features of adult learners’ continuous writing: implications for adult literacy teaching(Department of Adult Education, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, 2009-06) Odiaka, S. I.Communication is an indispensable activity in the lives of individuals in society. For proper communication to take place, language as a tool for communication must be adequately developed. Adults and adult learners are constantly in the process of communication, given the various roles they play in society. As a result of varying levels of educational attainment, some adult learners have developed defective interlanguage patterns that have not affected their roles positively. This paper examines the features of adult learners’ interlanguage among some Diploma students in the University of Ibadan. Through the use of descriptive research design and random sampling, a group of adult learners’ continuous writing skills were examined. Findings revealed that some adult learners lack syntactic competence and mechanical accuracy in their writings. The study, among other things recommends that adult learners be exposed to good literature as well as constant practice in grammar.Item A Correlational study between teacher made schema test and secondary school pupils’ performance in essay writing(Department of Adult Education, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, 2010-06) Odiaka, S. I.One area of language learning that constitutes great concern to secondary school pupils is writing. A lot of reasons has been given by various researchers as the causes of this weakness in most secondary school pupils. This study investigated the role of schema on pupils’ performance in essay writing. A total number of one hundred and two (102) pupils’ from two co-educational institutions was randomly selected for the study. The instruments used were Test on Pupils’ Schema (TOPS) and Test on Writing (TOW). Two research questions were used in the study. Findings revealed that there is a significant correlation between pupils’ schemata and writing ability. The study recommends that pupils’ schemata be given serious attention by stakeholders in education and that good methods of teaching essay writing should be adopted by teachers.Item Analysis of “baby talk” and its implications for language teaching and learning(2007) Odiaka, S. I.“Baby talk" is an integral part of a child’s language acquisition process. From what appears to be a child's empty babbling, the acquisition process takes the child through other overt stages of pronunciation of syllables, morphemes, words, phrases and sentences all of which are relevant to language pedagogy. With the child totally immersed in a rich literacy environment, coupled with reinforcement by parents and relations, the capabilities exhibited at each learning stage are strengthened to prepare the child for further language learning. This paper is an attempt to explore the richness of the stages of the child's language acquisition stages with a view to linking it up with language learning thereby equipping the child for readiness in the different language skills. The study aligns the natural acquisition processes of the child with existing learning theories and suggests the whole language approach for home and classroom applications.Item 70 years of adult education researches at Ibadan(2019) Kester, K.
