Item Situated harmful traditional practices in South-western Nigeria: recent progress, challenges and lessons for policy engagements(2023-11) Omoniyi, T. O.Harmful traditional practices (HTPs) are discretionary social challenges facing mostly girls and women of all ages and sizes. Wherever it occurs, HTPS rob girls and women of their childhood, deny them the chance to determine their own future as well as threaten the well-being of individuals, families and societies. Previous study have worked on various interventions such interagency statement on eliminating female genital mutilation, global strategy efforts and lots more. None of these studies have been able to analyse harmful traditional practices in south Nigeria vis-a-vis recent progress in its reduction, pending challenges and lessons for policy engagements, hence this study did a re-assessment of the state of things in terms of its reduction efforts, pending challenges, lessons, effects and plausible solutions to htps for policy engagements. The study adopted a mixed methods research design of the explanatory type (qua! + QUAN). The study deployed a two-prong approach in which focus group discussion sessions were conducted and thematically analysed to design the quantitative instrument. The population of the study comprised all elders who are 50 years and above. The multi-stage sampling procedure was adopted. The first stage was the total enumeration of states in southwest Nigeria. The random sampling technique was used to select 18 Local government areas (One per Senatorial District) in SW, Nigeria. From each of the LGAs, 35 participants who are 50 years and above were purposively selected. A self-designed instrument titled Questionnaire on Harmful Traditional Practices (QHTPs, r=0.82) with sub-scales was used. It was also translated in local dialect for easy understanding and responses. The study which began in 2019 and due to covid_ 19 pandemic lasted two and half years. Recent progress have been made, some challenges have been discovered which are epistemic understanding; lack of focus on prevention and imperatives for ministers to pursue short-term solutions; lack of continuity of programmes meant to dismantle htps. and few lessons have been learnt It is recommended that through education, collaborative engagements and seminars, the reduction efforts of harmful traditional practices in southwestern Nigeria can be achieved holistically.Item Civic-related factors as determinants of NCE students' attitude to citizenship education(Department of Arts and Social Sciences Education, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria, 2024) Olusegun, A. A.; Omoniyi, T. O.; Amosun, P. A.This study examines the relative and composite contributions of civic engagement, civic values and political attitudes to pre-service teachers' attitudes to citizenship education in colleges of education in Oyo State, Nigeria. The survey research design of correlational type was adopted for the study. One Federal and one State-owned colleges of education located at different towns in Oyo State were purposively selected. Two hundred and fifty NCE II pre-service teachers were randomly selected from each of the institution. The instruments used were: civic engagement questionnaire (r = 0.78), civic values questionnaire (r = 0.81), political attitude scale (r - 0.75), and citizenship education attitude scale (r = 0.76). Data were analysed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation and Multiple Regression Analysis at 0.05 level of significance. There was a positive significant relationship between each of students' civic engagement (r = .108, p<.0I5) and students' civic value (r = .102. p<.05) and students' attitude towards citizenship education. The civic-related factors made a significant (F3.49; Adj. R2 = .016; p<.05) joint contribution (R = . 149', R2 = .022) to students' attitude to citizenship education. Students' civic engagement (β .112, t = 2.533, p<.05) and students' civic value (β = .096, t = 2.170, p<.05) made significant relative contributions and predicted students' attitude towards citizenship education, while students' political attitude did not. It is concluded that civic engagement and civic value determined pre-service teachers' attitude towards citizenship education. It is recommended that strategies which promote civic engagement and inculcation of civic values should be adopted to enhance NCE students' attitude towards citizenship education in colleges of education.Item Abandoning wealth for scarcity": a critical discourse of youth's orientation of rural-urban migration in Southwestern Nigeria(Department of Educational Management, University of Ibadan, 2024) Omoniyi, T.
