A.Item Predictors of female lecturers reproductive health behaviour in tertiary institutions in Nigeria(Department of Educational Management, University of Ibadan, 2016-01) Omokhabi, A. A.; Egunyomi, D. A.Women reproductive health behaviour (RHB) has generated a lot of interest from researchers across many disciplines because of complications on women health generally. Previous studies on women's RHB had focused on various categories of women and teenagers leading to a gap in literature on women in the tertiary institutions. This study, therefore, examined the extent to which cultural norms/religious belief, peer influence and mass media exposure influenced the RHB of female lecturers in tertiary institutions in South western Nigeria. The survey research design was adopted. The purposive sampling technique was used to 540 academic workers from thirteen tertiary institutions in South western Nigeria. Two instruments were used: RHB Scale (r=0.81) and RHB Determinants Scale with sub-scales, cultural/religious belief (r-0.83), mass media (r=0.75), and peer influence (r=0.71). Three hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance to determine the RHB of female workers. Pearson product moment correlation and content analysis was used to analyse data collected through the questionnaire form the respondents. Seventy-five percent of respondents exhibited good RHB. Their significant strength of relationships with RHB was ranked: religious/cultural belief (r-0. .066,); mass media exposure (r=0.070), and peer influence (r=-0.602). Mass media exposure, cultural norms/religious belief and peer influence strongly predicted reproductive health behaviour of female lecturers in sampled tertiary institutions.

A.Item Integrating into a global learning community: emerging perspectives for enhancing the interaction discourse in distance learning pedagogy(Department of Library, Archival and Information Studies, University of Ibadan, Nigeria., 2019) Ojokheta, K. O.; Omokhabi, A. A.Interaction has been recognised as one of the most important components of learning experiences in distance education. Three types of interaction in distance education have been recognised in literature as learner-content, learner-tutor/instructor, and learner-learner interaction. This paper, therefore, proposed the expansion of these three types of interaction to include two additional types: learner-technology interaction and learner- institution interaction. The paper also discussed the importance of interaction in distance learning pedagogy as well as the theoretical guide which informed the justification of interaction in distance learning pedagogy. It further discussed the components of each type of interaction and, thereafter, recommended some strategies for enhancing each type. The paper concluded that the relevance of distance learning rests on the quality of interaction provided by distance learning institutions and suggested that practitioners and managers of distance learning institutions should pay more attention to the recommended strategies identified in the paper.Item School social work practice and its challenges in public senior secondary schools In Nigeria(Community Development and Social Welfare Unit, Department of Adult Education, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria, 2021) Omokhabi, A.
