Item Psycho-social predictors of achievement in multicultural concepts in social studies among secondary school students, in Ijebu South Local Government, Ogun State(The Department of Educational Management, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, 2016-01) Gbadamosi, T. V.; Adebanjo, A. O.This study examined the extent to which psycho-social factors predicted students achievement in Social Studies, adopting a correlational research type and multi-stage sampling technique. Three instruments namely: Teacher Questionnaire (r = 0.89); Student Questionnaire (r = 0.78) and Social studies Achievement Test (KR20 = 0.72) were used to collect data from 350 respondents drawn from ten junior secondary schools in Ogun state. Four research questions were set and answered using multiple regression analysis. Students' self-concept (r = 0.631; P < .05) and Students' peer pressure (0.681; P < .05) have high positive significant relationship with Social studies achievement scores. A statistically significant linear relationship exists between the predictor variables. The predictors accounted for 64.5% of the total variance observed in students' achievement in social studies. Influence of Students' Peer Pressure β = .202; t (324) = 4.104; p < .05) was most influential followed by Students' Motivation (β = .139; t (324) = 3.476; p < .05). Also, Students' Self-concept β = .151; t (324) = 3.292; p < .05) and Teachers' Social Interaction (β = -.833; t (324) = -2.842; p < .05). The result indicated that peer pressure, students' motivation, students' self-concept and teachers' social interaction have a significant predictive ability of academic gains, therefore parents and teachers should watch the kind of friends keeping by their children/ students. Also, students should be highly motivated as this promotes strongly academic gains through adequate rewards and reinforcement in the classroom.Item Student and parent factors as determinants of sexual risk-taking behaviour among gifted adolescents in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria(Department of Special Education, University of Ibadan, 2014-06) Adelodun, G. A.; Salako, A. A.The study investigated how student and parent factors could determine sexual risk-taking behaviour among gifted adolescents in Ibadan. The emerging sexuality that accompanies adolescence poses fundamental challenges for young people. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. Purposive sampling technique was used to select a total number of one hundred and twenty gifted adolescents out of those identified to be gifted in ten Senior Secondary Schools that were randomly picked in Ibadan. Data were analysed using t-test. The result of the first hypothesis revealed that the calculated value t-cal of 2.765 is greater than the table value t-tab of1.966 at 0.05 level of significances with degree of freedom of 198. This implies that there is a significant difference in the sexual risk- taking behaviour of male and female gifted adolescents. The findings of the second hypothesis revealed that the mean score of 2.2570 was recorded for gifted adolescents whose parents have low educational attainment while 1.8900 was recorded for those whose parents are highly educated. The implication of this is that there is a significant difference in the sexual risk- taking behavior of gifted adolescents based on their parents' educational attainment. Based on these findings, il was recommended that public enlightenment must be given on sex education because majority of our people still believe that it is a taboo to expose young children to sex education.
