The design for the study was a descriptive survey type. The population of the study was all social studies students in public secondary schools in Abeokuta North Local Government Area of Ogun State. Five (5) public junior secondary schools were selected in the study area through random sampling. 90 JSS3 students were purposively selected from each school because they had been exposed to the concept of sexuality through social studies and were more mature. A total of444 respondents (155 males and 289 females) participated in the study. The instruments used were Students’ Awareness of Sexuality Education Questionnaire (0.87) and Students’ perception of Sexuality Education Questionnaire (0.83). Two research questions were raised and answered. Data collected were analysed using the descriptive statistics of mean, standard deviation, frequency count and simple percentage. The findings revealed that public secondary school students were moderately aware of sexuality education, and that they possessed an average level of knowledge of sexuality education. Based on these findings, it was recommended that new strategies and topics on sexuality education be included in the social studies curriculum by the state and federal ministries of education. Also, that, governments and non-governmental organizations should organise public enlightenment campaigns to further strengthen sexuality education programmes to correct misconceptions about it.
Reading habit and gender as predictors of adult learners’ performance in english language in literacy centers in Oyo state, Nigeria
(2024-06) Akinyooye, F. E.; Popoola, D. I.
Reading is an effort to understand the writer's message for development on a personal level and professional achievement. As a result, psychologists view it as a complex cognitive process where meanings are constructed from texts. The current study was carried out in literacy centres in Oyo State, Nigeria, to ascertain the associations between adult learners' academic accomplishment in English language, gender, and reading habits. A descriptive survey design was used in the study. The study employed a purposive sampling technique to choose 120 participants from literacy centers located in the city of Ibadan. Data were gathered using the Reading Habits Questionnaire (RHQ) and the English Language Achievement Test (ELAT). Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the responses. The empirical findings indicated that reading habit (β = -0.097; t = -0.277; p 0.783 > 0.05) and gender (β = -0.526; t = -1.577; p 0.119 > 0.05) have negative and insignificant relationship with adult learners’ academic performance. The results also indicated reading habit and gender jointly accounted for 0.04% of the total variance in the dependent variable (adult learners’ performance in the English language) among adult learners in literacy centers in Oyo State. Lastly, the findings revealed that age significantly influences adult learners ’ performance in the English language (F3,17 = 2.46; P<0.05). It is implied that adult educators should design these kinds of projects and assignments with reflective thinking in mind, taking into account the importance of reading habits for academic success. In addition, facilitators could collaborate to develop schedules for library instruction to help adult learners develop a reading habit.
