    Perception, attitude and use of indigenous stories among yoruba parents in Lagos State, Nigeria
    (Joytal Printing Press, Ibadan, 2020) Akintemi, E. O.; Amosun, M. D.
    In the traditional African societies, indigenous storytelling was a regidar practice where children were told stories by their parents and other members of the family and community. Storytelling played an important role in the family and it was a daily activity in the evening. Recently, many Nigerians do not like to speak their indigenous languages with their children and as a result, these children may not know their indigenous stories even though they know lots of foreign stories. This study therefore, investigated parents’ perception, attitude and use of Yoruba indigenous stories in Lagos State, Nigeria. The study adopted descriptive survey research design. Four research questions were raised and answered. Three hypotheses were formidated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. Two hundred and eighty nine (289) Yoruba parents were purposively selected from both public and private schools in Lagos State. Self- designed questionnaire with reliability index of (a -0.84) was used to collect data for the study. Frequency counts, percentage, mean and standard deviation and t-test were used to analyze the data collected. Findings indicated that parents’ perception and attitude to Yoruba indigenous storytelling is positive, however the frequency of use is still below expectation. Parents with children in public schools significantly used indigenous stories better than parents with children in private schools. Based on the findings it was recommended among other things that storytelling in indigenous language should be used at home by parents, also Nigerian authors should be encouraged to write indigenous storybooks for children.

    (2020-05) Tiamiyu, Y. B.; Adamolekun, W.; Oni, M. T.; Otunla, A. O.
    The Nigerian government policy statement on design and development of innovative materials for effective teaching in Nigerian schools is yet to be fully realized because it depends on students' competency in computer and associated technologies. Therefore, this study investigated perceived senior secondary students' level of computer anxiety and competences in Oyo Education Zone of Oyo State, South-West, Nigeria. This baseline study adopted ex-post facto of survey type and purposively selected public secondary schools that are equipped with computer facilities. It involved one hundred and sixty (160) senior secondary schools, one student from four schools including one private school in Iseyin and Itesiwaju Local Government Areas of Oyo Education zone in Oyo State, South-West, Nigeria. Four research questions guided the study with the use of two instruments namely i.e. Students' Computer Anxiety Questionnaire (SCAQ) r=0.86 and Students' Computer Competence Questionnaire (SCCQ) r=0.87. Findings from the study indicated that majority of the participants perceived themselves of having positive disposition to computers, thereby having no computer anxiety. Also, majority perceived that they are skillful in general Window skills, Word processing and presentation software respectively. Therefore, the study recommends exposure of students to practical computer activities during computer studies lessons and effective use of computer facilities where there are provisions. It also recommends adequate provision through the involvement of the parent-teacher association and non-governmental organisations as well as public spirited individuals, where such facilities are lacking.

    (Department of Lifelong and Continuing Education, University of Lagos, Akoka Lagos, Nigeria, 2017) Lazarus, K. U.
    The knowledge of whether secondary school counsellors envision themselves as leaders in the educational setting and the extent to which this perspective has been transformed to functional leadership practices is unclear. However, educators recognize the unique position occupied by guidance counsellors and the essential roles they play especially, in the education of persons with special needs. This study therefore, examined secondary schools counsellors’ perceptions of their leadership roles in the education of persons with special needs. It also investigated if any difference exists in secondary school counsellors’ perceptions of their leadership roles and some selected variables of age, gender, experience, or school status. The study adopted descriptive research, design. The sample of the study comprised (40) (that is, thirty-four (34) females and six (6) males), professional secondary school counsellors, from 40 (that is, 30 public and 10 private) secondary schools who are also members of the Lagos State Chapter of the counselling Association of Nigeria (CASSON). The respondents were selected using a stratified random sampling technique and purposive sampling. All respondents have some knowledge of special education. The respondents were purposively selected from four education districts of Lagos State out of six. Four hypotheses were formulated, while a self-developed questionnaire on counsellors’ perception, of their leadership roles was the main instrument for data collection. The data collected were analyzed using t-test. The results of the study indicated that respondents see themselves as leaders in the education sector irrespective of counsellors’ age, gender, years of experience and school status (public or private). Based on the findings, recommendations were made which include that guidance counsellors should engage in functional leadership practices in order to positively impact achievement of all students especially those with special needs.
