Item Social loafing among learner support staff for open and distance education programmes in south-western Nigeria: the imperative for counselling intervention(Taylor & Francis, 2022) Ofole, N. M.A descriptive survey design was adopted to investigate the relationship that exists amongst locus of control, work engagement, organizational reward system, job satisfaction and social loafing among the staff of distance learning programme in South-western Nigeria. Four hundred and forty-seven (males = 184; females = 263) learners support staff with an age range of 22 to 55 years were randomly drawn from open and distance learning universities located in South-western Nigeria. They responded to five standardised self report questionnaires. The results show that the majority (67.6%) of the respondents reported different forms of social loafing. There was a significant gender difference in the social loafing behaviour scores of male and female [t (445) = 0.773, p < 0.01]. Male respondents reported more social loafing behaviour (x? = 40.95) than their female counterparts (x = 25.48). There was a positive relationship between locus of control and social loafing though not significant. The relationship among job satisfaction, work engagements as well as reward system and social loafing were inverse. It concluded that personal and organisational factors predispose workers to social loafing. It is recommended that ODL management should also put in place better systems of reward practice and recognition. Counselling intervention is also required to reorient learner support staff who are loafers at OD institutions.Item Revamping Nigeria’s Economy Through The Teaching Of Literature-In English(EKSU Printing Press, 2017) Aiyede, E.

I.This paper examines the potential of bilingual and multilingual medium of instruction (MOI) policy as a solution for creating an inclusive learning environment in Nigeria. With over 250 ethnic languages and a complex linguistic diversity, Nigeria's education system faces significant challenges in providing equal access to quality education for all students. The dominant use of English as the sole MOI has resulted in a linguistic barrier, marginalizing mother-tongue speakers and perpetuating educational inequalities. This research argues that a well-implemented bilingual and multilingual MOI policy can address these challenges by promoting linguistic diversity and inclusivity, enhancing academic achievement and cognitive development, fostering cultural preservation and identity, bridging the gap between home and school languages, empowering marginalized communities through a critical analysis of existing literature, policy documents, and stakeholder interviews, this study explores the benefits, challenges, and implementation strategies of bilingual and multilingual MOI policy in Nigeria. The findings highlight the need for a contextualized and flexible approach, taking into account regional language dynamics, teacher training, and resource allocation. This research contributes to the ongoing debate on language policy and education in Nigeria, providing evidence-based recommendations for policymakers, educators, and stakeholders to create a more inclusive and effective education system. By embracing linguistic diversity, Nigeria can unlock the potential of its diverse student population and foster a more equitable and harmonious society.Item Value education: essential tool for socio-political and economic development in Nigeria(Social Studies Association of Nigeria, 2017-04) Ajitoni, O. S.; Omoniyi, T. O.The neglect of ethical values, which should form the substratum of any good education, has led to ineffectual, decadent, and poor learning. The duty of every society is to pass on the values enshrined in its scriptures and philosophical texts to each generation, in order, that the spirit of its culture lives on. Findings showed that a society with no required values cannot witness peace, growth and development. What is obtainable in the Nigeria society today are flagrant abuse of office, high and low profile corruption, poor attitude to work, gross misconduct, flair for frivolity and materialism, dependency of the Judiciary, lack of trust and so on. It was discovered that in planning for good values and objectives, the teachers and students, leaders and followers will have to cooperate and work together as a team, an indivisible entity. The purpose of education is to strengthen character in the younger generation which would provide solution to the problems facing Nigeria as a nation. This can only be achieved when education is value-oriented. The paper, therefore, recommends the core values of democracy which promotes a secure physical, emotional and political locus within the society. There is a need for a widespread renewal of individual commitment to an active life of principle and societal values like truth, right action, love, peace and non violence means of getting things done. As well, there is a need for better preparation of teachers as values educators.Item Attitude as a correlate of utilization of information communication technology in instructional delivery among social studies teachers in Oyo State(School of Education and Humanities, Babcock University, Ilishan-Remo, Ogun State, Nigeria, 2016) Gbadamosi, T.

The objective of this study was to establish the impact of maternal education on maternal and newborn health in Nigeria. The design adopted for this study was retrospective. The 2018 NDHS and global data were used as primary sources for the study. Predictive factors responsible for good health indicators were considered for all the States in Nigeria.

Therefore, more attention should be given to girl-child education as a strong social determinant of health when devising strategies to reduce maternal mortality and to achieve universal health coverage in Safe Motherhood.Item Relationship between education and utilization of maternal health care services by pregnant women in Ibadan north local government, Oyo state(Department of Social Work, University of Ibadan, Nigeria, 2019-06) Afolabi, A.This study examined the relationship between education and maternal Health care utilization among pregnant women attending maternity centres in Ibadan.

A.The success of inclusive education in any context depends upon many factors. Teachers themselves are critical elements in ensuring the quality of students’ inclusion in the school environment. Teachers have direct interaction with students and play a critical role in determining students’ experiences in the classroom on a daily basis. Special attention must be paid not only to the classroom teachers who have the skills but also to the support needed to provide quality education to children with diverse learning needs. This requires the collaboration of classroom teachers, special education teachers, school principals, education officers and policy makers. This paper indicates that preparing teachers with essential knowledge and skills for inclusive education requires the commitment of all stakeholders. This paper further stresses that preparing teachers does not simply mean providing prospective teachers with inclusive education skills; it also means providing training and support for existing teachers as well.

A.||; Asiru, A. B.Numerous problems confronting the human race require creative interventions in order to make living conditions meaningful, comfortable and impactful. Creative solutions are significantly of utmost necessity because rigours of diverse kinds are meant to be reduced to the barest minimum. However, gifted students whose innovative endowments are expected to be exploited to advantage are uncatered for in Nigerian schools, most especially in Ibadan Metropolis. The creatively gifted students' potentially inventive prowess has not been put to expression simply because appropriate educational or instructional strategies have not been professionally adopted by the school system. The children need differentiated learning experiences and activities, which include brainstorming, bibliotherapy, questioning/lateral thinking approach, synectics, ability grouping, independent study among a host of other techniques. The teacher and resource person who facilitates the education of the children has some pedagogical roles to play to be able to handle the children effectively. The teacher should utilize the recommended instructional strategies to achieve the desired result among the students. The teacher is expected to adopt such instructional packages to meet the learning needs, styles and abilities of creatively gifted students. By virtue of such enrichment, the students can explore their creative instincts.
