Item Nigeria's educational process and ethical re-orientation(Philosophy of education association of Nigeria, 2009) Meroyi, S. IThe need for value and ethical re-orientation of Nigerians have become very essential especially at such a time when the country has attained fifty years of independence with no concrete achievements besides those of the sixties. Concerns have been raised as to the veracity of education in inculcating appropriate social and moral values in leakers for the development of the country going by their attitudes and actions. The western education has been acclaimed to be responsible for the influx of certain social values that had bedeviled the sanctity of the African and Nigerian society. Africans are known for the principle of communalism among others unlike the individuality of the western 'culture. The need to give greater considerations to our indigenous values is highlighted in this article. It was realised that learners should be made to understand moral concepts through the lessons learnt in their classrooms to further entrench these African values. Similarly, social values of tolerance and sympathy need to be emphasised in order to re-orientate Nigerians for the envisaged growthItem The teacher, school and leadership responsibilities towards learners(Philosophy of education association of Nigeria, 2009) Meroyi, S.

O.The study investigated the influence of some psychosocial factors (self-efficacy, emotional Intelligence, gender and age) and knowledge on HIV/AIDS attitudes of early adolescents. 240 school-going early adolescents (132 males and 108 females) aged between 10 and 14 years participated in the study. The measured effects of the independent variables using the Pearson r and hierarchical regression statistics indicated a joint relationship of the measures on HIV-AIDS altitudes of early adolescents. Similarly, participants' self-efficacy, El, knowledge of HIV/AIDS, and age also influenced their attitudes towards HIV/AIDS. These findings suggest that early adolescents' attitudes towards HIV/AIDS could be improved through the variables investigated.Item Psychological appraisal of spirituality indices of crash helmet phobia among Nigerians(2008-05) Adebayo, O.; Adeyemi, A. O.This study examined the spirituality factors associated with crash helmet phobia among motorcycle cyclists and consumer of their success in Nigeria. The study randomly selected 1,327 participants across 5 major cities in Nigeria. These are Ibadan, Lagos, Kaduna, Kano and Enugu. They consist of 862 commercial motorcyclists and 465 customers who responded to the Crash Helmet Scale. The survey uses a nationally representative probability sample selected using an extended form of the two-stage random-digit selection procedure. The survey employed a rotating panel design to gather data from approximately 200 respondents on a weekly basis. Results showed that 56.9% of the participants refused use of crash helmet because they believe people could use the avenue to charm helmets for various evil machinations such as money ritual. Also, 75.7% stated that the use of helmet could not prevent accident most of the time. Majority of the commercial cyclists and customers (93.2%) averred that the helmet is not convenient for them. The findings were highly essential since they raise awareness about the relevance of cultural reality in the treatment of helmet phobia among Nigerians and the need for re-orientating the motorcycle cyclists and customers in Nigeria.Item Effect of daily and weekly testing on students mathematics achievement at upper basic level(Nigerian Educational Research & Development Council (NERDC) Sheda, Abuja, 2009) Tella, A.Assessment is a systematic basis for making inference about the learning and development of students towards increasing students' learning and development. Teachers should therefore realize that assessment is the quickest strategy to improve student learning, hence this study examined an assessment strategy on Upper Basis School Mathematics achievement. The subjects in this study were upper basic school students from four Mathematics classes. All the students were taught by the same teacher, and the experimental duration was for three months or equivalent of one term. The four classes comprise two control groups and two experimental groups. In the control group, students took weekly tests every Friday, and in the experimental groups, students took daily tests during the last twelve minutes of the stipulated forty-five minutes allowed per period of the class teaching. The researcher examined whether the daily tests had significant impact on students' mathematics achievements as measured at the end of term examination. The researcher also examined whether daily testing had any effect on students' homework grades. The study found that daily testing significantly improved students' mathematics grades/score and home work grades.Item The relationship between mathematics self-efficacy and achievement in mathematics(Elsevier, 2009) Aremu, A.; Tella, A.This study examined the relationship between Mathematics Self-Efficacy and achievement in Mathematics. Three hundred and fifty-two (352) Senior Secondary 2 students in Oyo State were used for the study. Three hypotheses were used. The results show no significant difference between male and female achievement in Mathematics. Also, no significant difference was also obtained between male and female Mathematics Self-Efficacy and Mathematics achievement. The paper recommend that teacher should find ways of enhancing Mathematics Self- Efficacy in student and should place emphasis on student’s confidence to succeed in Mathematics achievement.Item Relationship among demographic variables and pupils’ reasoning ability(2008) Tella, A.; Tella, A.; Adika, L. O.; Toyobo, M. O.Introduction: Pupils reasoning ability is a sine-qua-non to the evaluation of their performance in learning and an indicator of their potential predictors of future performance. Method: The study examined the relationship among demographic variables and reasoning ability of primary school pupils. It drew four hundred pupils from ten (10) purposefully selected public primary schools in Ibadan, Nigeria. The age of these pupils ranged from 9-11 years. A Reasoning Assessment Test developed by (Sokan, 1998) with r = 0.89 cronbach alpha was used for the collection of data. Two hypotheses were developed to guide the study. These were analysed using Pearson Multiple Correlation Matrix and Multiple Regression statistical methods. Results: The results indicate that demographic variables like age, class, and gender correlates positively with pupils reasoning ability and that these three variables significantly predict pupils reasoning ability better than other variables. Discussion and Conclusion: Based on these findings teachers and parents are called upon to see to it that they start stimulation of the children thinking at an early age as soon as they enter school through provision fascinating toys, computers and simulation games.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.
