Item Influence of parental assessment culture on primary school pupils’ academic performance in english language and social studies in Benue State - Nigeria(Educational Assessment and Research Network in Africa, 2018-06) Ibode, O. F.; Nasela, P.The study examined the assessment of availability, adequacy, and utilisation of information and communication technology (ICT) in universities in South-West, Nigeria. The ex-post facto design was adopted, to collect information in which three states and three federal universities were purposively selected from South- Western, Nigeria. One hundred students and ten lecturers were randomly selected from each of the three federal universities in the zone. Two validated instruments: Information and Communication Technology Facilities Checklist (ICTFC) and Lecturers’ Questionnaire (LQ, r = 0.82) were used for data collection. Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics. Between 84% and 100% of the respondents indicated that ICT facilities were available, while between 85% and 100% of them indicated that they were inadequate. The level of utilisation of the ICT facilities is low as indicated by 57%o to 100% of the respondents. Irregular power supply 100%, poor funding 90% and lack of internet facilities 83.33%, were identified as some of the major constraints militating against the use of ICT facilities. It was, therefore, recommended that there should be adequate provision of ICT facilities and resources in our tertiary institutions. The National Universities Commission (NUC) should of a necessity review the course contents of university education, to compulsorily incorporate ICT utilisation as a standard for teaching and learning, while university authorities should support lecturers to utilise ICT. There is increasing need for parents' active participation in the assessment of their children at home. This study investigated the influence of parental assessment culture on primary school pupils' academic performance in English and Social Studies in Benue State. Three research questions were developed for the study, which is a survey and correlation study. A sample of200primary six pupils from six schools was randomly selected using the hat and draw procedure. The six primary schools were also selected using random sampling technique. Rating scale and English and Social Studies achievement tests were used for data collection. Descriptive statistics and Pearson moment correlation were used as statistical tools for data analysis. The findings revealed that parents have low level of assessment culture in evaluating academic works of their primary school children. There was low positive correlation between parental assessment culture and pupils' academic performance in English Studies (r = .042, p= .556), whereas, parents assessment culture was positively related to pupils' performance in Social Studies (r = .780, p=.010). It is recommended, among others, that parents should cultivate the culture of assessing their children academic activities at home, and provide feedback to the school on children's academic behaviours at home. facilities while teaching.Item An Assessment of availability, adequacy and utilisation of information and communication technology in universities in South- West, Nigeria(Institute of Education, University of Ibadan unbehalf of Participating West Africa Universities and Ministries of Education, 2018) Ibode, O.

F.; Lasaki, O. A.The study investigated the effect of Yoruba language (mother tongue) on pupils' academic achievement in Ibadan. The study adopted pretest- posttest control group quasi-experimental research design. Simple random sampling technique was used to select three local government areas and two primary schools in each of the local government areas using intact classes that were distinctly located from one another within the selected local government areas. The researcher randomly assigned four schools to the Yoruba Language Teaching Strategy (YLTS) and the remaining two schools to the conventional method (English Language) The participants comprised 197 primary' four pupils. One treatment package [Yoruba language instructional package (YLIP)] and one instrument [Numeracy Achievement Test (NAT)] were used in the study. The ability of the package and the instrument to measure the skill it has been designed for was established by the researchers. Thus the reliability co-efficient of 0.76 was obtained using K.R20. The data collected were analyzed using Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The result reveals that Yoruba language has significant effect on pupils, academic achievement in numeracy. Also, school locations do not significantly affect the academic achievement of primary school pupils and no significant interaction effect of Yoruba language and school location is revealed. The researchers advocated that Yoruba language as a medium of instruction should be used in teaching numeracy at the primary school level for the purpose of improving academic achievement. The federal government should take a second look at the policy of use of mother tongue for instruction to cover all level of primary school education, in order to prepare them for effective secondary' school education. The government should endeavour to monitor the teachers to know if the policies are being implemented. Keywords: Yoruba language, school location, academic achievement, primary school pupils.Item Leadership management role as determinant of students' academic achievement in high schools in Osun State, Nigeria(Department of Educational Management, University of Ibadan, 2017-12) Ibode, O. F.; Osho, N. A.This study investigated high school principals' ability to perform managerial role as determinant of students' academic achievement in Osun State. Three research questions were developed to guide the study. The study adopted ex-post facto design of survey research type in which 124 principals of high schools in Osun State were purposively selected. Data was collected using a self-designed questionnaire. Pearson Product Moment Correlation and Multiple Regression were utilised for data analysis at 0.05level of analysis. The study's finding revealed that the managerial roles of principals had no significant composite influence on students' academic performance [F (5,241) = 0.985], (R) = 0.142 and, R square of 0.020. That is, academic achievement of students in schools had no correlation with principals' roles. This means that 1.0% (Adj. R2=0.010) of the variance in the academic achievement in schools accounted for the independent variables, when taken together. Also, managerial role has no significant relative influences on students' academic performance. Planning (β = 0.003, t= .025, p> 0.05) has no potent contribution to the prediction, organising role has no significant influence (β = 0.086, t= .794, p> 0.05) and directing had no significant influence (β = 0.029, t= 0.293, p> 0.05). The study, therefore, recommended that school principals in the state should endeavour to discharge their managerial roles or functions in such a way that will create positive impact on students' academic achievement.Item Attitude of students towards the use of computer in education(Department of Science and Technology Education,Faculty of Education, University of Ibadan, 2017) Ibode, O. F.The use of computer in education has increasingly become prominent in most part of the world. Therefore the study examined the attitude of students of St. Augustine College of Education, Akoka, Lagos. Simple random sampling technique was used to select 175 respondents. The instrument used for data gathering was a questionnaire with a reliability coefficient of 0.73. Descriptive statistics and T-test was used to analyze the data. The study revealed that students have positive attitude towards the use of computer. Also, the study revealed that there is no significant relationship between the male and female perception of students attitude to computer use in education. Therefore, the study recommends that computer studies should be inculcated and made compulsory at all levels of education. Government should make adequate provision of computers to the schools at all levels. The teachers should be advised to encourage the female students to improve on their attitudes toward the use of computer in education to be at par with their male counterparts. Students should be motivated to incorporate ICT into the source of learning tools as personal assessment of their computer competence improved. Lastly, the schools should give proper maintenance culture to the students to handle the computer properly.Item Students classroom activeness as correlate of academic achievement in english language in Ibadan metropolis(The Faculty of Education, University of Lagos, Akoka-Yaba, Lagos, Nigeria, 2016-12) Ibode, O. F.The study investigated students' classroom activeness as correlate of their academic achievement in English Language in Ibadan Metropolis, Oyo State. Three research questions were developed to guide the study. An ex postfacto research design of survey research type and the target population consists is SSSII Students in Ibadan Metropolis. Using simple random sampling technique, 150 SSS II students across secondary schools in Ibadan metropolis were selected as respondents for the study. Students' classroom active participation rating scale was used for data collection. Descriptive statistics and pearson product moment correlation were used in the data analysis. The findings of the study revealed that: majority of the students with the mean of 2.50 and above do participate actively during English Language lesson. Also, there is low negative correlation (r = -.103, p=.208) between students’ questioning/answering questions in the classroom and academic achievement in English Language. Also, there is low negative correlation (r = 114, p=.164) between students' initiation/contribution to classroom discussion and academic achievement in English Language. It was therefore, recommended that teachers of English Language should motivate students to participate more actively in the classroom by asking or answering questions during English Language lessons.Item School type and principals' leadership styles as correlates of teachers’ job performance in selected education zones in Rivers State, Nigeria(2016) Ndimelu, S. C.; Ibode, O. F.In order to know the performance of teachers on the job, this study investigated school type and principals’ leadership style as correlates of teachers’ job performance in selected Education zones in Rivers State, Nigeria. The study adopted the descriptive survey design. The sample consisted of three hundred and ten (310) students and sixty (60) teachers who were randomly selected from four schools in each of the chosen education zones in Rivers State. Three research questions were raised and answered at 0.05 level of significance using Pearson Product Moment Correlation and Multiple Regression Analysis. Data were collected using two self-structured questionnaires. The reliability coefficients of 0.85 and 0.72 were obtained for SPTJPQ and TPSTPLSQ respectively using the test- retest method. The results revealed that all the predictor variables (school type, democratic, autocratic, transformational and laissez-faire leadership styles) have relationships with teachers’ job performance at varying strengths; strong positive and significant correlation exist between democratic and autocratic leadership styles; only transformational leadership style has significant relative prediction to teachers’ job performance; the five predictors jointly correlates positively (R- .215) with teachers’ job performance. It also showed that 3.1% (adjusted R2 = 0.031) of the total variance in teachers’ job performance is accounted for by the five predictors while the remaining 96.9% could be due to other factors like residuals not considered in the study. Since F(5,304) = 2.946, P< 0.05. Only transformational leadership style (J3= .188, t = 3.004, p<0.05) contributes significantly to the prediction model. Based on the findings, it was recommended that school principals and administrators should use transformational and democratic administrative leadership styles more often than any other style in carrying out their administrative roles in the schools. Principals should be neither too flexible nor too rigid in their actions, policies and decisions; they should only apply the autocratic leadership style when the situation requires it as the last option, but it must be used with caution; government should organise capacity building regularly for the principals, school administrators , and the like.Item Investigation of factors responsible for poor reading habits among secondary school students in Lagos State, Nigeria(2015) Ibode, O. F.A cultivated reading habit is crucial in education because it is the vehicle that drives and enhances learning in any field. One thousand students who were randomly selected from twenty senior secondary schools in Lagos city constituted the sample for the study. The study revealed that 60% of the respondents’ considerable part of their time watching European football matches on the television instead of reading their textbooks. The study also revealed that 80% of the students spend their prime time watching home videos on African Magic or Nollywood as against reading their textbooks. The study further shows that most of the students pay more attention to modem technologies like cell phones, social media and computer games. Furthermore, the finding of the study shows that reading activities are not encouraged in most of the sample schools. Therefore, the study recommends that stakeholders in education should set up a monitoring team to go round schools to monitor study habits of students. Also, parents should be encouraged to monitor their children reading habits at home. The study also recommends that functional libraries should be developed and equipped in secondary schools to encourage reading among senior secondary school students in Lagos State. In addition, awards should be given to students who are found to have developed meaningful reading habit.Item Teachers’ gender, teaching experience and qualification as correlates of achievement of instructional objectives(2015-03) Oparaku, D.
