Item Media usage, religiosity and gender as determinant of performance in chemistry subject(2016) Oloyede, G. K.; Ofole, N. M.This research was designed to investigate the effect of media usage, religiosity and gender on performance in chemistry subject. This study employed survey research design. Two hundred participants (66 males and 134 females) drawn from public Senior Secondary Schools in Ibadan North Local Government Area, Oyo State constituted the study’s sample. The instruments used to collect data included four structured questionnaires - Academic Performance Questionnaire in Chemistry (APQC) (α = .914), Media Questionnaire (MQ) (α = .792), Religiosity Questionnaire (RQ) (α = .735), and Gender Questionnaire (GQ) (α = .899). Chemistry Achievement Test (CHAT) was used to determine performance level and ability difference between male and female. Four research questions were answered and three hypotheses were tested at 0.05 Alpha level of significance. Data were analyzed using Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation and Multiple Regression Analyses. The findings of this study showed that media (r=0.119, df = 199, P< 0.05) is a significant correlate of academic performance in chemistry while religiosity (r= 0.057, df = 199, P> 0.05) and gender (r=0.032, df = 199, P> 0.05) are not. It was also revealed that the three independent variables (media, religiosity and gender) are not joint predictors of academic performance in chemistry (R = 0.125, R square = 0.016, p<0.05). It was evident from the findings that media (beta=.112, 11.2%, t=1.552, p<0.05) had the highest significant contribution to academic performance in chemistry. The results also showed that there is no statistical difference in the ability of male (x=3.89, SD=1.609) and female (x=4.01, SD=1.573) even though 59.5% of the students scored less than 50 in Chemistry Achievement test. The study, therefore, concluded that media is a potent correlate and significant determinant of performance in public Senior Secondary Schools in Ibadan North Local Government Area, Oyo State, Nigeria while religiosity and gender are not.Item Effects of concept mapping and guided discovery instructional strategies on students’ achievement in redox concept of chemistry in Oyo State, Nigeria(Modern Education and Computer Science Press, 2022-04) Tella, A.; Ogundiya, T. A.The study determined the effects of concept mapping and guided discovery instructional strategies on student’s learning achievement in Redox concept in Chemistry in Oyo State, Nigeria. The pretest-posttest control group quasi experimental design with 3x2 factorial matrix was adopted, while six schools with one intact class each; two each for experimental groups and two for control group were used. A total of 176 senior secondary school 2 Chemistry students participated in the study. A validated Chemistry Student Achievement Test (r = 0.77) was used for data collection, while Analysis of covariance and Bonferroni post hoc were used to analyze the data collected at 0.05 level of significance. There was a significant main effect of treatment (F(2, 175) =11.84; p<0.05, partial η2 = 0.13) on student’s achievement. The participants in concept mapping strategy obtained the highest post achievement mean score (12.71), followed by guided discovery instructional strategy (9.24) and conventional strategy (8.60) groups. There was no significant main effect of gender on student’s achievement. There was no significant two- way interaction effect of treatment and gender on student’s achievement in Redox concept of chemistry. Concept mapping and guided discovery instructional strategies enhanced student’s achievement in Redox concept of chemistry. It is therefore recommended that chemistry teachers should adopt these strategies to improve student’s achievement in Chemistry.Item Using service learning instructional strategy in teaching social studies for improving students’ creativity skills and reducing unemployment(The Department of Adult Education, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, 2019-07) Gbadamosi, T. V.; Ajayi, O. M.This study examined effect of service learning instructional strategy on students’ creativity skill. Three hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The study adopted the pretest-posttest control group quasi experimental design Two local government areas, which include Ibadan North and Akinyele local government were randomly selected from five local government in Ibadan metropolis while two schools were purposively selected in each of the local government. The participant were JSS1 students and a total number of 230 (131 female and 99 male) participants were used. Three validated instruments were used for the study. Namely, Student Creative Skill Scale (r= 0.71); Teachers Instructional Guide for Conventional Strategy and Service Learning Guide. Data collected were analysed using Analysis of Covariance. There was a significant main effect of treatment on students’ creative skill (F (1,219) = 6.166; p<0.05, partial η2 = 0.027). There was no significant main effect of gender on students’ creative skill There was no significant two-way interaction effect of treatment and gender on students’ creative skill (F (1,219) = 0.083, p>0.05, partial η2 = 0.000). It was therefore concluded that service Learning Strategy enhanced student acquisition of creative skill through entrepreneurial related topics in Social Studies. Social studies teachers should adopt this strategy when teaching entrepreneurial related topics.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. V.This study investigated the relationship that existed between attitude and ICT utilization level of Social Studies teachers in secondary schools. The study adopted descriptive survey research. A validated questionnaire was used to collect data from 198 respondents drawn from ninety private and public junior secondary schools in Oyo State using multi stage sampling technique. The data collected was analyzed using inferential statistics of Pearson Product Moment Correlation PPMC and t-test at 0.05 level of significance. The study revealed that teachers' attitude towards ICT have a positive but low correlation with ICT utilisation (r = 0.217; N= 198); there was no significant difference between the attitude of male and female teachers towards utilisation of ICT in secondary schools (t(196) = 1.968; D = 0.138); there no significant difference between the ICT utilization ofmale and female teachers in secondary school (t (196) = 0.423; p>0.05; D=0.030). Recommendations were directed toward government assistance in equipping schools with adequate facilities and effective monitoring of schools; ICT use for instructional delivery should be given greater consideration than it currently receives among others.
