Item School quality and teacher characteristics as correlates of students’ learning outcomes in history in Rivers State(The Faculty of Education, University of Lagos, Akoka-Yaba, Lagos, Nigeria, 2017-01) Junaid, I. O.; Owhonda, N. G.Students 'performances in senior secondary school history in recent time have not been impressive based on the reports from public examiners. The subject is not offered by many students and is almost going into extinct as important as it is to individual citizen and the country as a whole. The extent to which school quality and teachers' characteristics correlate with students learning outcome in history in Rivers State was investigated. The study is a descriptive design of survey type. Multistage sampling technique was employed and data were collected from 30 history teachers and 200 SSS II history students from 20 SSS schools in Rivers State. Five research questions and four validated instruments guided the study with reliability coefficients of 0.78 for SQQ;0.67for TCCRS; 0.72 for CIS and 0.56for HAT respectively. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results indicated a significant relationship between school quality and students' learning outcome in history (r —. 494); revealed a significant relationship between teacher characteristics and students' learning outcome in history (r = .415); both variables jointly explain 25% of the variance observed in students' learning outcome in history and it was statistically significant at F (df =2, 228) = 5.712, p < 0.05. It was observed that there were positive relationships among school quality, teacher characteristics and students' learning outcome in history. Government should provide trainings for teachers through seminars/workshops in order to develop their knowledge, practices and attitude that are neededfor maximum students'learning outcome in history.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.
