Item Postgraduates students' utilization of the ict: implications on academic achievement(Department of Guidance and Counselling, Faculty of Education, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, 2016-07) Tella, A.ICT usage patterns among students including use of the internet is increasingly being investigated. One area of interest for educators relates to the home use of the computer and the internet by postgraduate students and its relationship to academic achievement. This is particularly relevant as the amount of time that postgraduate students spend at home on the computer appears to be rising. This trend may have an impact on academic performance and their research initiative and prowess. The purpose of this study was to examined postgraduate's uses and utilization of the internet and its implication on their achievement at the University of Ibadan. Two hundred and fifty postgraduate students from twenty systematical selected departments formed the study sample. A modified internet use scale was used to gather data for the study. The data collected was analysed using descriptive statistics, chi-square and Freidman test. The results indicate that; majority of the respondents access the internet 1-5 hours per week, some access the internet 6-20 hours per week while others access the internet between 21-25 hours per week. Further to these, most respondents use the internet for the purpose of obtaining course related information and to enrich their research. The results also reveal that internet contributes significantly to academic achievement of the respondents. The study recommends among others the provision of more computers and internet facilities at library and postgraduate school to compliment the existing few provided.Item Self-efficacy and locus of control as predictors of academic achievement among secondary school students in osun state unity schools(Ife Centre for Psychological Studies, 2008-09) Tella, A.; Tella, A.; Adika, L. O.The study investigated self-efficacy and locus of control as predictor of academic achievement among Junior Secondary school students in Osun state Unity schools, using Self-Efficacy Scale (SES) and Locus of Control Scale (LOC) as measuring instruments. The Cronbach alpha coefficient for validity of the two instruments are respectively a = 0.68 and a = 0.83. A descriptive survey research design was adopted using a sample of two hundred (200) students randomly selected from three (3) Government unity schools in Osun state. One hypothesis and two research questions were generated and tested using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient and Multiple Regression statistical tools with the margin of error set at 0.05 significant levels. The results indicated that a significant relationship exists between self- efficacy, locus of control and academic achievement. The study also revealed that self- efficacy and locus of control predict well students’ academic achievement. Implication of these findings on stakeholders in educational industry, curriculum planners, educational psychologists and practitioners were suggested.Item In our match towards scientific and technological advancement, we need nothing short of good performance in mathematics at all levels of schooling. In an effort to achieve this, this study investigated the impact of motivation on students’ school academic achievement in mathematics in secondary schools using motivation for academic preference scale (α = 0.82) as a measuring instrument and achievement test in mathematics (ATM) Two hypotheses were tested for significant at 0.05 margin of error using t-test and analysis of variance (ANOVA) Results showed that gender difference were significant when impact of motivation on academic achievement was compared in male and female students. Also other result indicates significant difference when extent of motivation was taken as variable of interest on academic achievement in mathematics based on the degree of their motivation. Implications, suggestions and recommendations on students, parents, government, counsellors, educational stakeholders, etc were discussed.(MOMENT Kazim Karabekir Cad., Ankara-Turkey, 2007-04) Akinsola, M. K.; Tella, A.; Tella, A.Procrastination is now a common phenomenon among students particularly those at the higher level. And this is doing more harm to their academic achievement than good. Therefore, this study examined the correlates between academic procrastination and mathematics achievement among the university mathematics undergraduate students. The study used a total sample of 150 part 3 and 4 students in the department of mathematics and mathematics education students in the university of Ibadan and university of Lagos, Nigeria. The 35 items academic procrastination scale developed and validated by Tuckman (1991) was used for the collection of data, in conjunction with the subjects GPA scores till date in mathematics. Findings indicates that: a significant correlation was found in the academic procrastination and academic achievement of the subjects in mathematics, significant difference also exists in the levels of procrastination and mathematics achievement of the subjects, with low procrastinators performing better than the moderate and the high procrastinators.
