Item Emerging predictors of achievement in government for innovative and dynamic education in Lagos State(2016-06) Junaid, I. O.Results released by examining bodies on Government over the year have not been encouraging. Several researches have attempted to identify factors responsible for the poor performances in Senior Secondary School Government. But the problem still persist. The study therefore, investigated the extent to which teachers’ style of teaching; students’ study habits and classroom participation predict students’ achievement in Government in Lagos State. The study used descriptive survey research design; forty (40) teachers and four hundred (400) SS II Government students were selected through multi-stage sampling techniques from two Education Districts in Lagos State. Three validated instruments were used to gather information in this study. These are: Teachers’ Style of Teaching and Classroom Participation Questionnaire (r =.729), Study Habits Rating Scale (r =.689), Government Achievement Test (GAT). Five research questions were raised and answered in this study. The data obtained were analyzed using multiple regression and Pearson product moment correlational 0.05 level of significance. The papers submit that selection of appropriate style of teaching; exhibition of effective study habit by the students and encouragement of students in active classroom participation will lead to substantial improvement in students’ achievement in Government. Therefore, teachers should employ the right teaching style in order to motivate students to learn; students should apply effective study habit that will make them discover new things themselves and boost their achievement.Item Educational resources’ status as determinants of students’ learning outcomes in senior secondary school government in Oyo State, Nigeria(Department of Educational Management, University of Ibadan, 2014-01) Junaid, I. O.Over the years, issues of poor academic performance of students both in examinations have been of grave concern to all stakeholders in the education industry. This study investigated the relationship between all categories of educational resources (human, financial and material resources) and Senior Secondary School students' learning outcomes in Government in Oyo State. The study is a survey research that adopted multi-stage sampling technique. Data were collected from 450 SSS II Government students and 30 teachers from 30 public and private schools in Oyo State. Four research questions and two validated instruments guided the study with reliability coefficient of 0.67 for SERI and 0.86 for GAT. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson Product Moment Correlation and Multiple Regression. Results revealed that human resources were reportedly the most available 300 (66.7%), while financial resources were the least obtainable educational resources in the secondary school. The rates of utilisation revealed that 271 (60.2%) respondents admitted to using available resources most times. Results further indicated that there were moderate relationships between availability and adequacy of utilisation of the various educational resources and students' learning outcome (r = 0.64). The three predictor variables jointly accounted for 62% (Adjusted R2 = 0.621) observed variance in students' learning outcome in Government as it was statistically significant. It is recommended that all stakeholders in the school system should ensure availability, usability and adequacy of all educational resources since they all predict students' learning outcomes and ensure that they are always utilised optimally in the teaching-learning processes.
