    Exploring service learning in redesigning and implementing education economics curriculum: experience of university students
    (2022) Gbadamosi, T. V.; Jacob, U. S.; Pillay. J.
    This study examined service learning as an effective strategy for implementation of the Economics curriculum for result-oriented university education. The study was guided by two research questions, adopted a qualitative research approach and utilised phenomenology design. A purposive sampling technique was used to select all students from the departments of Educational Management, Arts and Social Sciences Education, Adult Education, Guidance and Counselling Education, and Special Education who had taken Economics Methods. The reason for the selection of the students was that they had participated in service learning and would be able to provide answers to the research questions. Focus group discussion and key informant interview guides were used to collect data from the participants. The ATLAS. Qualitative software package was used to analyse the data. The findings of the study revealed that service learning was an effective strategy for preparing pre-service teachers for the world of work as it gives undergraduates an opportunity to get involved in communal services such as tutoring, advocacy, and environmental sustainability, among others. It also enhances students’ employability skills, such as financial literacy, project management, teamwork, and resourcefulness. It was therefore recommended that service learning should be infused into the teacher education curriculum for effective implementation of the economics curriculum and to promote undergraduate employability skills.

    Academic staff’s motivation for online teaching in Nigerian universities: empirical evidence from the University of Ibadan
    (2022-07) Itasanmi, S. A.; Oni, M. T.; Ekpenyong, V. O.; Ajani, O. A.; Omorinkoba, O. G.
    This study investigated the academic staff’s motivation for online teaching in Nigerian universities using a mixed-methods case study research design. The main instrument used for this study was a questionnaire named ‘Academic Staff’s Motivation for Online Teaching Survey (SMOTS)', which was complemented by in-depth interviews. A total of 195 academic staff across various academic faculties and units in the University of Ibadan participated in the study. Data analysis was done using frequency count, simple percentages, mean and standard deviation, while the in-depth interviews were thematically analysed. The result of the study revealed that the majority of the academic staff have not taught using online platforms before and their frequency of online teaching consideration is occasional. Additionally, they have a high perception of online teaching in terms of helping to learn new technology and encouraging intellectual challenges. The academic staff indicated that individual training opportunities, personal decisions and group training opportunities are among the major resources that can motivate them for online teaching. Likewise, the introduction to new technology for teaching, institutional expectation, and students’ enrolment are the major external motivating factors for online teaching. It was further revealed that most of the academic staff feel motivated to teach online. However, erratic power supply, work overload, and limited knowledge of e-learning stand as major hindrances to online teaching adoption among academic staff. This study has discovered the need for Nigerian university managements to vigorously embark on capacity building of academic staff for online teaching. This will help them to cultivate or enhance basic information and communication technology skills and other essential competencies needed to manage online learning environments

    Level of awareness of HIV/AIDS pandemic among undergraduate students of the university of Ibadan
    (Institute of Education, University of Ibadan on behalf of participating West Africa Universities and Ministries of Education, 2012) Folaranmi, O. O .
    The study assessed the level of awareness of students of the University of Ibadan about HIV/AIDS, and the effective preventive strategies the students know that can reduce the further spread of HIV/AIDS, and suggest ways to cultivate the right attitudes concerning issues relating to AIDS in order to make the University of Ibadan an AIDS-free institution, and to make recommendations on how students can be involved in reducing the spread of HIV/AIDS. This study employed descriptive research design in which information was obtained from an observed population and questionnaires were used as the research instrument. The result of the findings have shown that a very good number of students are aware of the issue of HIV/AIDS, its signs and symptoms, its mode of transmission and various preventive strategies that could curtail the spread of AIDS, although a few students are still doubting the reality of HIV/ADS. The roles of social workers and prevention as well as curbing the spread of HIV/AIDS were recommended.
