O.Education system is the bedrock of development of any society. Meaningful development can only occur and be sustained in an environment where every stakeholder is ready and willing to contribute his/her quota. The fluctuating and dwindling academic achievement of students in Economics have been of great concern to education stakeholders as it is reflected in the past Senior School Certificate Examinations’ results. The study examined the relationship between parents’ involvement in the education activities and performance of students in Economics subjects among Federal Unity Colleges in Southwest, Nigeria. Multi-stage sampling procedure was used to select participants. Purposive sampling strategy was used to select two co-education Federal Unity Colleges in five states in Southwest (Osun, Ogun, Ekiti, Lagos and Ondo States). Intact class was used to select SS II Economics students in the selected states. Parents of selected students also participated in the study. Three research questions were answered with three instruments used in the study. Results revealed that there was significant positive correlation between parents’ occupation and their degree of participation in school activities (r= 0.74 p<0.05); there was a strong significant positive relationship between gender of the parent and their degree of provision of education materials (r = 0.85 p< 0.05). There was no significant relationship between parents involvement in school activities and students’ academic achievement in Economics (r=0.00 p<0/05). It was further revealed that there was no significant relationship between parents’ provision of education materials and academic achievement of students’ in Economics (r=0.00 p<0.05). It was recommended that activities that will improve study habit of students should be introduced in schools and monitored. Teachers should give regular assignment for students and marked by the teacher. There should be special day for one-on-one interaction between teachers and parents on students’ academic progress.Item Overlooked or overemphasized? an evaluation of admission criteria and access to higher education in Nigeria(2026) Ojetunde, S. M.; Junaid, I. O.; Dada, L. T.The study examined the influence of admission criteria on access to higher education in Nigeria. This investigation was prompted by a recent surge in the number of candidates who were denied admission to universities. Data on admissions from various higher education institutions in Nigeria, spanning the years 2015 to 2022, were collected and analyzed, focusing on gender, region, and type of institution. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were employed in the analysis. The findings revealed that many Nigerian universities overemphasized admission criteria due to high demand, a trend less pronounced in polytechnics and colleges of education. Moreover, disparities in access to higher education were noted based on gender, region, and institution type. The study recommended that stakeholders enhance the capabilities of colleges of education and polytechnics, and called on universities, particularly in southwestern Nigeria, to adopt a more equitable approach to their admission criteria.Item Virtual learning environment usage among state university lecturers in Nigeria(2025-11) Junaid, I. O.; Onocha, C. O.The global university education system has witnessed the digitisation of classrooms in the 21st century, with a flood of new technologies that have changed the teaching-learning process from physical to internet-based classrooms. This study investigated state university lecturers’ usage of virtual learning environments in the 21st century. It adopted a convergent parallel mixed-method approach to gather both quantitative and qualitative data simultaneously. The study employed multistage sampling procedure to select state universities (8), faculties (8), Deans (8), HoDs (8), and lecturers (448). Lecturers’ Virtual Learning Environment Inventory (α=0.90), FGD and KII were instruments used to collect data, analysed using descriptive statistics and Atlas.ti. Results revealed that State university lecturers in Nigeria embraced computer mediation learning (77.2%), compact disc-based learning (76.6%), online facilitation (72.3%), audio-visual learning materials (76.1%), virtual resource rooms (76.1%) and networking (66.7%) in the VLE to some and great extent. Also, required facilities to enhance VLE such as dedicated server and web-based learning in some universities were not adequate and in bad conditions which affect usage. It is recommended that provision of needed VLE resources and facilities in State universities be provided. Regular trainings/sponsorship for capacity reinforcements should be given to lecturers to meet international best practicesItem Effects of polygamy on the academic performance of secondary school students in Nigeria(2024) Adesoji, A. O.; Junaid, I. O.This study examined the effect of polygamy on the academic performance of secondary school students in Nigeria with particular focus on Bariga Local Government Area of Lagos State Nigeria. Four research questions and four research hypotheses were raised and formulated respectively. The descriptive survey design was used. The study population covered all schools and students (both male and female) in Bariga Local Government Area of Lagos State, Nigeria. A structured questionnaire was constructed and administered on the respondents. A total number of three hundred (300) questionnaires were distributed to the respondents but only two hundred and seventy-nine (279) questionnaires were retrieved for data analysis. The data obtained after the administration of the questionnaire were subsequently analyzed using simple percentages, frequency distribution table; the formulated hypotheses were tested using t-test at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed that polygamy system; the size of polygamy families; attitude and interest of polygamy families and family psychological conditions have significant difference on academic performance of students in the study area. Some recommendations were made as the way forward and they are: Governments, private organizations and individuals concerned with the business of education should endeavour to address the obstacles hindering effective academic performance of students. Marriage/ Family counseling services should be intensified and expanded to cover a larger population in order to sensitize couples on the need to reduce the incidence of divorce and broken homes in the society so as to enable children benefit from intact family upbringing. Parents should be sensitized on the need to raise small families in order to enable them provide for their educational needs that will motivate the children to learn effectively and perform satisfactorily in government.Item Reading interest and attitude as correlates oi: students' performance in junior secondary school Yoruba language reading competence in Oyo state, Nigeria(His Lineage Publishing House, 2014) Abijo, J. A.Performance of students in Yoruba Language in both internal and public examinations is a serious concern which has attracted the attention of stakeholders of language education. In spite of different Research studies to investigate the cause and proffer solution, the problem persisted. It was on this basis, that this study investigated the extent to which reading interest and students' attitude account for students 'Yoruba language reading competency of Junior Secondary School Students in Oyo State. The study adopted non-experimental survey design. The sample consisted of one hundred and twenty Junior Secondary school students randomly selected within Ibadan Metropolis. Two instruments were used for data collection, namely; Reading Interest Scale in Yoruba Language (RISY) and Student Attitude Scale in Yoruba (SASY). The psychometric properties of the instrument used are: Reading Interest Scale in Yoruba Language (r = 0.8) and Students Attitude Scale in Yoruba (r = 0.8). Two research questions were generated and answered The data collected were analyzed using correlation and multiple repressions. The significance level was set at 0.05. The result revealed that the relationship among the predictor variables and the criterion variable is low. Hence, Attitude to Yoruba Language (r = 0.001, p> 0.05) and Reading Interest (r = 0.043, p>0.05) has a negative and low correlation with students' learning outcome in Yoruba Language. This indicates u weak significant and opposite relationship between the predictor variables and criterion variable. Based on these findings, it was recommended that teachers should update themselves through seminars and workshops from time to time on how to make Yoruba leading interesting to students so as to be able to correlate it with students learning outcomes. Schools, teachers and Guidance counselors should counsel students not only to associate reading Yoruba Language to tests, assignments and examination but that it should be a tool for relaxation, enjoyment, pleasure, self- development and advancementItem Psychological Factors as Predictors of High-Quality Achievement in Biology(International Centre for Educational, Evaluation, University of Ibadan, Nigeria and Institute of Education, University of Ibadan, Nigeria, 2025) Olosunde, M. O.; Babatunde, E. O.One of Nigeria's biggest challenges is achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4, which calls for providing inclusive and equitable quality education and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all even with onboarding of Artificial Intelligence. This study investigates how psychological factors influence student success in biology, an important scientific field. The study considered three research questions using non experimental research design of correlational approach, conducted with 400 senior secondary school students from Oyo State, Nigeria. Four instrument used are: Biology Interest Scale (BIS) with α=0.91, Anxiety Traits Inventory (ATI) α=0.74, Academic Motivation Scale (AMS) α=0.87 and Biology Achievement Test (BAT) with 0.80. Result revealed a high link between biology achievement and motivation (r = .187, p < .01), interest (r = .253, p <.01), and anxiety (r = - 0.272, p < .01). Moreover, there was significant effect (F(3, 396) = 16.748, p < 0.001) between variables. Students that were enthusiastic performed better, (β= 0.058, F(3, 396)=.556), indicates no statistically significant effects despite the positive relationship between achievement scores and motivation. In order to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4), which calls for inclusive and equitable quality education, affective elements that affect the participation of learners in biology, such as anxiety and interest, must be addressed. Supportive learning environments that prioritize understanding, curiosity, and personal development should be created by educators and policymakers. Integrating real-world biological applications into the curriculum can further enhance the subject’s relevance to everyday life and future careers, thereby sustaining students’ motivation and interest in biology.
