Item Innovative mechanism for building leadership skills and competence among youths in educational setting: the outcome of a three-phased experiment(2018) Ojokheta, K.O.; Oladeji, S.O.; Omokhabi, A.A.This study reported the outcome of a three-phased experiment on building leadership skills and competence among undergraduate students at the Department of Aduh Education, University of Ibadan, Nigeria. The basic objective of the experiment was to find-out if students, given the leadership and authority figure to facilitate leaching, would develop and acquire leadership qualities and skills. The experiment was carried out in three phases: The first phase involved 25 students who registered for a course ADE 207 (Principles and Practice of Adult Education) in first semester, 2015/16 academic year. The students were allocated each topic in the outline to prepare and facilitate the leaching on rotational basis. The second phase took place in second semester 2015/2016 academic year with a course ADE 208 (Cost, Budgeting and Financing Adult Education Programs) and the third phase took place in first semester 2016/2017 academic year with ADE 303 (Current issues and Problems in Adult Education). During the methodological processes, other students were asked to secretly rate their colleagues, who assumed the lectureship position, using these rating scores: 1-2 (Poor). 3-4 (Fair), 5-6 (Good), 7-8 (Very Good), and 9-10 (Excellent) on identified parameters. The outcome of the experiments showed that the performance rating scores of all the students, at the first phase, was poor between (1-2) in most of the parameters. However, at the second phase, the rating scores had improved to between (5-6) marks while at the third phase, the performance rating had improved to between (7-8) marks. Two implications were derivable from this experiment: firstly, schools’ curriculum and teaching methodologies must be re-structured to give students, the future leaders, the opportunity to develop their leadership skills and competence right from the school: and secondly, leadership skills can be acquired if people are given continuous exposures and opportunitiesItem Influence of classroom climate on socio-emotional well- being of students with hearing impairment in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria(2015-05) Isaiah, O. O.; Azanor, F. O.This study examined the influence of classroom climate on socio-emotional well-being of students with hearing impairment in Ibadan, Oyo state in Nigeria, Descriptive survey research design of correlational type was used to carry out the study. Sample consisted of 231 students with hearing impairment using purposive sampling technique, from three schools in Ibadan, Oyo state, Nigeria. Two standardized instruments were used to collect data - My Class Inventory ( r=0.78) and Students Socio-emotional well-being Scale (r=0.82). Three research questions were answered and data were analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation and Multiple Regression analysis. The results indicated that student- students interactions (r=0.62, p<0.05) and communication (r=0.54, p<0.05) significantly correlated with socio-emotional well-being of students with hearing impairment. Student- teacher interactions and discipline in the classroom did not correlated with socio-emotional well-being of students with hearing impairment. However, students-teacher interactions, student-student, interaction communication and discipline in the classroom predicted socio-emotional well-being of students with hearing impairment F(4, 208)= 1013.66) P< 0.05, while the relative contributions of independent variables to the dependent variable are as follows: students-students- interaction (β = 0357), communication (β =0.218), discipline in the classroom (β=0.357) and student-teacher interaction (β =0.031) respectively. It is therefore recommended that teachers should ensure good classroom climate in order to boost the socio-emotional development of students with hearing impairment.Item Perceived effectiveness of social media platforms for HIV and AIDS information communication among university undergraduates in south-west Nigeria(Department of Mass Communication Delta State University, Abraka, Nigeria, 2017-04) Alonge, A. J.; Kiai, W.; Ndati, N.The study examined the perceived effectiveness of social media on HIV and AIDS communication among undergraduates in southwest Nigeria. Data was obtained through the administration of 355 copies of structured questionnaire to respondents in University of Lagos, Obafemi Awolowo University and University of Ibadan. Data obtained was analysed using tables, simple percentages and bivariate regression analysis. The results showed that awareness of social media enabled 71.3% of the respondents to use social media sites. Out of this percentage, it enabled 27% to interact; 25.1% to exchange ideas, 11.3% to be informed on HIV and AIDS, and 7.9% stated increased knowledge on HIV. The result further showed that 90.7% of the respondents stated that HIV and AIDS information on social media platforms was very useful. Result showed that 23.7% of the male and female respondents had sexual intercourse 3 months ago, out of this, 10.2% used a condom (s), while 13.5% did not make use of condom. Despite this high level of awareness, regression result showed that sharing of HIV and AIDS information on social media did not have significant influence on condom use (F = 2.586, p>0.05). The study suggested that HIV and AIDS communication on social media should prioritize basic messages such as encouraging use of condoms and other prevention methods.Item Assessment of factors affecting social media use for HIV and AIDS communication among undergraduate students in South-Western Nigeria(2017-06) Alonge, A. J.; Kiai, W.; Ndati, N.The study evaluated factors that affect use of social media for HIV and AIDS communication among federal university undergraduates in south western Nigeria. The cross-sectional research method was employed. Structured questionnaire copies were administered to 355 undergraduate students. Quantitative data gathered from the administered questionnaire were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Result showed that blogs (41.1%), twitter (25.4%) and WhatsApp (17.7%) were the social media sites preferred by male and female respondents for sharing and accessing HIV and AIDS information. The use of these social media sites for HIV and AIDS information communication was influenced by privacy and neutrality. It also showed that majority of the undergraduates affirmed that HIV and AIDS information on social media platforms was very useful because it facilitated access to quality tips on HIV. A significant percentage of the respondents also affirmed that the use of social media was hugely affected by epileptic nature of power supply, poor network connectivity, ICT skills and cost of subscription. Stepwise multiple regression analysis identified ICT skill as the only environmental factor that had significant influence on social media use (F= 4.234, p<0.05) and was responsible for 33.9% of the variation in social media use for HIV information communication. The study suggested the campaign on prominent HIV/AIDS discussion sites and ICT skill acquisition to enable youth connect and effectively make use of social media for HIV information communication.Item Evaluation of auditory performance of the aged on speech discrimination skills in south-west, Nigeria(Department of Educational Foundations and Counselling, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, 2014-10) Osisanya, A.As age increases, word recognition and speech discrimination ability systematically decreases, in relation to decline along the auditory systems leading to a reduction in the ability to perceive high pitched sounds and discriminate speech correctly. Thus, this study evaluated the performance of two categories of aged on speech discrimination skills. The study was carried out through Pure- Tone Audiometric Test (PTA) and Speech Discrimination Test (SDT) based on phonetically balanced words. Two hundred and forty (240) aged comprising two groups of one hundred and twenty (120) each of rural and urban dwellers were selected using purposive sampling technique. With the aid of independent t-test statistics at 0.05 level of significance, the findings revealed a significant difference in the hearing sensitivity between the aged in rural and urban areas across the pure-tone audiometric tested frequencies (t.cal = 4.20; P < 0.05). The aged in urban area had a significantly better performance on the speech. discrimination test than their counterparts in rural area (t.cal. = 3.78; P < 0.05). The study found no significant difference in the performance of the two groups on speech discrimination test in line with their gender make-up (t.cal. = 0.57; P> 0.05). Based on the findings, the study establishes that the two categories of aged demonstrated poor speech discrimination abilities as a result of their reduced hearing efficiency as a consequence of ageing. Recommendations were therefore made to the aged and their family, society, rehabilitation experts (support services) and government on the need to sharpen the aged verball non-verbal and interpersonal oral communication abilities as well as to curtail the explosion of hearing disability as a result of ageing in Nigeria.
