V.; Oyetunde, M. O.Abundant literature affirms students' low level of civic competence, especially ai the primary and junior secondary school levels. This study was embarked upon to determine teachers' classroom practices and content knowledge as predictors of senior secondary school students' civic competence (knowledge, disposition, and engagement) in Ibadan. Expo facto research design was adopted for the study with four hundred and fifty (450) students and fifteen (15) Civic Education teachers as participants. The instruments employed were Civic Education Teachers' Classroom Practices Observational Scale (CETCPOS), Measuring Guide for Teachers' Classroom Practices Observational Scale (MGTCPOS), Civic Education Teachers’ Content Knowledge Questions (CETCKQ), Students' Civic Knowledge Achievement Test (SKAT), Students' Civic Disposition Questionnaire (SCDQ), and Students' Civic Engagement Questionnaire (SCEQ). One major research question was raised and answered at 0.05 level of significance. Data were analyzed using mean and Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC). The findings of the study revealed no correlation between students' civic competence and teachers' classroom practices and their civic knowledge. Improved teachers' knowledge in Civic Education and classroom practices were observed, although without effects on the civic competence of students. It was recommended that government, school administrators and parents' factors be subsequently studied, and that evaluation of Civic Education should include behavioural assessment.Item Household participation in domestic waste disposal and recycling: an environmental education implication(Nigerian Association for Educational Administration and Planning (NAEAP), 2010-06) Gbadamosi, T. V.; Ajagbe C. A.; Awolola, O. l.This study examined the factors influencing household participation in waste disposal and recycling focusing educational level, location of residence and income.

V.; Akanni, O. O.It is evident that Nigerian Government is making drastic and pronounced efforts at stemming the tide of unemployment via means such as change and innovation in the curriculum. However, it appears that there is no adequate instructional intervention to develop appropriate knowledge, attitudes and skills in learners for knowledge economy in the schools. Students are restricted to classroom instruction with little or no participation which has resulted in rote learning and memorisation and their attendant effects on learning outcomes. This paper, therefore, explored service learning instructional strategy that is outdoor and activity-based as a means of promoting entrepreneurship skills through effective teaching of economics for alleviating unemployment in Nigeria and its counselling implications. The following were also discussed in the paper: Economics, entrepreneurship, importance of an entrepreneur, characteristics of entrepreneur, economic view of unemployment, causes of unemployment, and counselling implications of effective teaching of economics for boosting entrepreneurship skills for alleviating unemployment. Some recommendations were made such as Economics teachers should employ service learning instructional strategy for effective teaching of Economics, universities should expose Economics students to service learning, and collaborate with industries; management is encouraged to organise on-the-job pedagogical training for Economics lecturers without a teaching qualification, and continuous professional development on innovative instructional strategies for all. Parents are counselled to encourage their ward(s) on the need to discover their entrepreneurial skills and make good use of them to be self-reliant, among others. All these will help to produce graduates that will be relevant beyond 21st century.Item A survey of strategies of implementing national orientation agency’s value programme in secondary schools in Osun State, Nigeria(WAEF & GTRG, Abidjan Cote’D’Ivoire &, Nigeria, 2023-03) Ajogbeje, O. O.; Gbadamosi, T. V.This study examines the various strategies of implementing National Orientation Agency (NOA)'s moral value programme in secondary schools in Osun State. The study also examines the variation in the use of these strategies to determine their effectiveness on the implementation of the programme. Descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study which was guided by two research questions. The population for the study comprises of all NOA staff and secondary schools teachers in Osun State; while purposive sampling technique was used to select one hundred and twenty participants for the study. The instrument for the data collection was a constructed ten items structured questionnaire related to the strategies and the frequency use of these strategies were designed for the study. The instrument was subjected to face and content validity by Social Studies experts for scrutiny and review and validated two weeks before administration and its reliability was determined through Cronbach Alpha which yielded a co-efficient of 0.89. The data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics of frequency counts, percentage scores, mean and ranking order. The study revealed among others that most of the frequently used strategies were not appropriate for implementing the programme while appropriate strategies were seldomly used or not used at all. The study therefore recommended that NOA's staff should frequently use the appropriate strategies for implementing their programme so as to inculcate moral values into secondary schools students in Osun State.Item Teaching social studies for relevance, development and sustainable democracy in Nigeria in the 21st century: the challenges and prospect(2018) Ajiboye, J.

V.This study focused on the relevance of service learning to transformative teacher education. The researchers used a qualitative approach and a case study design, involving 300 level Economics Education students at the Faculty of Education, University of Ibadan in Nigeria during the 2017/2018 academic session. Data was collected through interviews and students' journals, which were analyzed thematically. The findings indicated that service learning is an effective means of improving teacher education, as it enhances students' attitudes towards teaching, promotes transformative learning, and improves the employability skills of pre-service teachers. The study also revealed that service learning fosters a positive attitude from school management towards student-teachers and helps eliminate boredom in the teaching and learning process. As a recommendation, the study proposes that the teacher education curriculum should be revised to include service learning as a way to promote meaningful learning and professional development among future teachers in the 21st century among others.Item The nexus of employers demands and employability skills in Oyo State Nigeria: implications on japa syndrome(2023-06) Adio, V.; Gbadamosi, T. V.This study examines the required employability skills and how important is such employability skills to an employer of labours in Oyo State, Nigeria. Two research questions were answered. The study adopted the sequential mixed methods research design. The multi-stage sampling procedure was used in this study. The economic sectors were stratified into seven sectors in Ibadan Metropolis. 20 employers of labour were selected from each sector using a convenience sampling technique. A total of 140 employers were used for the study. 10 human resources managers were purposively selected as Key informants for interview sections using an interview guide. Two validated instruments of reliability of 0.75 and 0.78 respectively were used to collect the data. Quantitative data were analysed using the descriptive statistic of frequency count, percentage, mean, and standard deviation while qualitative data were content analysed and thematically interpreted. The results obtained revealed that employers strongly agreed that communication, Information Communication and Technology, Problem-Solving, Analytical, Personality, Adaptability, Team Work, and Leadership skills were essential for graduates to have in order to be employable. It can therefore be inferred that the possession of a certificate is only to attest to the fact that someone has been trained in formal settings. Job seekers should display good communication skills, organisation skill, creativity, teamwork, planning, and so on, which are in high demand by the employers of labour. Among others, some recommendations were made that the management of various educational institutions should put more emphasis on experiential learning to gain practical experience through service learning, internships, volunteer work, teaching practice, or part-time jobs to expose learners to employability skills in terms of, organisation skill, creativity, teamwork and, planning. Also, counselling section should be put in place to re-orientate the graduate on Japa syndrome among others.Item Appraisal of impact of NYSC’s skills acquisition and entrepreneurial development programme (SAED) on entrepreneurial development of ex-corps members(Faculty of Education, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria, 2022-01) Gbadamosi, T. V.The study assessed NYSC's Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development programme (SAED) on the entrepreneurial development of ex-corp members that served between 2015 and 2020. In this study, three research questions were posed and addressed. This study adopted a survey research design. 250 masters' students that have undergone NYSC were randomly selected at the University of Ibadan. Three validated instruments were used to collect data for the study: NYSC's Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development Programme Scale (ANYSCSAEDPS) (r = 0.76), Benefits and Challenges of NYSC's Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development Questionnaire (BNYSCSAEQ) (r = 0.84). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics of frequency counts, percentages, mean and standard deviation. The findings revealed that majority of the ex-corp members during NYSC's (SAED) Programme were exposed to educational skills, tourism and cosmetology, while few were exposed to horticulture and landscaping 15 (5.6 percent), power and energy 14 (9.6%), and automobile 8 (3.2 percent). The study also revealed that SAED was beneficial and very good for youth empowerment. It can therefore, be concluded that the SAED programme is beneficial to graduates' empowerment and the reduction of unemployment among youths, although its contribution to the development of entrepreneurial skills was not adequate enough due to some challenges facing its implementation. Consequently, the government should devote more attention to the programme by making resources available for its smooth implementation. Corps members should be re-oriented on the benefits of participating in SAED through their commitments when enlisting for entrepreneurship training during service, among other things.
