A.It has become imperative that there is the need to tackle reproductive health problems in Nigeria because many women die due to pregnancy related complications. However previous studies on women's reproductive health behaviour had focused majorly on adolescents, rural and non-literate women without due consideration for females in the forma! wage system. Thus leading to a dearth of literature on reproductive health behaviour of the working class women particularly those in Universities. This study examined the influence of some factors on reproductive health behaviour among female non- academic staff in the Nigerian universities. The study adopted descriptive research design of an ex-postfacto type I he simple random sampIing technique was used to select 217 female non-academic staff from purposively selected five Nigeria universities.. The instruments used were Reproductive Health Behaviour Scale (r=f).8l).Age at marriage and Reproductive Health Behaviour Scale (r-0.79). Socio-economic status and Reproductive Health Behaviour Scaleir- 0 79.). Educational attainment and Reproductive Health Behaviour Scale(r=0.75). These were complemented with three sessions of Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and two sessions of In-depth interview (11)1) with female non-academic staff from each of the five Nigerian universities. Three hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. Data were subjected to Pearson's Product Moment correlation and content analysis. The findings indicated that there was significant relationship between reproductive health behaviour and age at marriage of female non-academic staff in the Nigerian Universities, (r - .568' \ p<.05). There was significant relationship between reproductive health behaviour and socio-economic status of female non-academic staff in the Nigerian Universities (r = - 449'. p<.05). There was significant relationship between reproductive health behaviour and educational attainment of female non-academic staff in the Nigerian Universities/r = .511'. p< 05).Age at marriage, socio-economic status and educational attainment strongly influenced reproductive health behaviour of female non-academic staff in the Nigerian Universities. However, to ensure improved reproductive health behaviour of female non-academic staff, there is the need to strengthen the use of mass media complimented with women's networking groups and religious institutions aimed at promoting better reproductive health behaviourItem Developing alternative methodological framework for facilitating adult learning: the outcome of an experiment(2016) Ojokheta, K.O.; Oladeji, S.B.; Omokhabi, A. A.This paper presents the outcome of an experiment on an alternative method of facilitating adult learning called DISSAAP. It is an acronym where D stands for Discussion of learning content, I for identification of Deductions, S for Summation of recurring major deductions, S for synthesis of deductions in order of importance, A for Agreement of synthesis, A for Adoption of the synthesis, and P for Presentation. This approach was experimented with a group of adult learners participating in a University Distance Learning Programme with the concept of motivation as the course content Learners were allowed to discuss individually what could motivate them to achieve effective learning. From the discussion, deductions made by them were identified. The major recurring deductions were recognised and summed up for synthesis which were, thereafter, arranged in their order of importance. In collaboration with the facilitators, agreement of the synthesis was reached with the learners for adoption of what motivate adult learners. The adoption led to the presentation of the new knowledge on motivation of adult learners for general acceptability by the learners. Findings of the experiments show that learners' intuitive capacity, power, and empowerment to arrive at knowledge themselves were greatly enhanced which led to active participation of the learners in the teaching and learning process. The experiment proved that "DISSAAP" is an effective methodological approach for facilitating adult learning and is, therefore, recommended for adult educators and facilitators
