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.
