Item In our match towards scientific and technological advancement, we need nothing short of good performance in mathematics at all levels of schooling. In an effort to achieve this, this study investigated the impact of motivation on students’ school academic achievement in mathematics in secondary schools using motivation for academic preference scale (α = 0.82) as a measuring instrument and achievement test in mathematics (ATM) Two hypotheses were tested for significant at 0.05 margin of error using t-test and analysis of variance (ANOVA) Results showed that gender difference were significant when impact of motivation on academic achievement was compared in male and female students. Also other result indicates significant difference when extent of motivation was taken as variable of interest on academic achievement in mathematics based on the degree of their motivation. Implications, suggestions and recommendations on students, parents, government, counsellors, educational stakeholders, etc were discussed.(MOMENT Kazim Karabekir Cad., Ankara-Turkey, 2007-04) Akinsola, M. K.; Tella, A.; Tella, A.Procrastination is now a common phenomenon among students particularly those at the higher level. And this is doing more harm to their academic achievement than good. Therefore, this study examined the correlates between academic procrastination and mathematics achievement among the university mathematics undergraduate students. The study used a total sample of 150 part 3 and 4 students in the department of mathematics and mathematics education students in the university of Ibadan and university of Lagos, Nigeria. The 35 items academic procrastination scale developed and validated by Tuckman (1991) was used for the collection of data, in conjunction with the subjects GPA scores till date in mathematics. Findings indicates that: a significant correlation was found in the academic procrastination and academic achievement of the subjects in mathematics, significant difference also exists in the levels of procrastination and mathematics achievement of the subjects, with low procrastinators performing better than the moderate and the high procrastinators. Results further reveals the subjects procrastinate the same way irrespective of their gender. Implications of procrastination on academic achievement of students at all levels generally and some effective ways of remediation of procrastination were suggested.Item Emergency remote teaching during covid-19 pandemic and undergraduates’ learning effectiveness at the university of Ibadan, Nigeria(2022-12) Muibi, T. G.; Akinyemi, A. L.The study investigated the influence of Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT) components (Zoom, Google Meet, Telegram forum, and LMS) on undergraduates’ learning effectiveness at the University of Ibadan. The descriptive survey research design was adopted and the population comprised 100 to 400 level students - with a sample size of 200 students who were randomly selected from the Faculties of Arts, Education and the Social Sciences. A 30- item questionnaire titled “Influence of ERT on Students’ Learning Effectiveness (IERTSLE)” was developed and validated by experts, and its reliability coefficient was 0.81 with the use of Cronbach alpha. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics of frequency counts, simple percentages, analysis of variance (ANOVA), mean and standard deviation analysis at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed that the ERT components (Zoom, Google Meet, Telegram Forum, and LMS) significantly influenced students’ Learning Effectiveness (F (4, 174) = 6.512; R2 = 0.13), and jointly accounted for 11.0% of its variance. Based on these findings, it was recommended that the Management of the University of Ibadan embark on full integration of online educational platforms to cater to both lecturers’ and students’ progressive skills and technical knowledge acquisition to help sustain them for the 21st century digital teaching and learning procedures. The study recommended that seminars, workshops, and other relevant programmes should be put in place to help improve students’ and lecturers’ adaptation to ERT teaching and learning in the institution.Item Nature of HIV/AIDS information shared on social media sites by undergraduate students in Southwestern Nigeria(Centre for Promoting Knowledge (CPK), UK, 2017-10) Alonge, A. J.; Ndati, N.; Kiai, W.In the past 5 years, there has been a phenomenal increase in the use of social media for health information communication, despite this, not much study has looked at the type of HIV/AIDS information shared on social media platform. The study therefore assessed the nature of HIV/AIDS information shared on social media sites by undergraduate students in southwestern Nigeria. Structured questionnaire copies were administered to 355 undergraduate students in Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), University of Lagos (Unilag) and University of Ibadan (UI). Data gathered from the administered questionnaire were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Result showed that 71.3% of the students across the selected universities were aware of social media and made used of it. Facebook was the most favourite social media platform followed by Instagram and WhatsApp, while Kinschat, Linkedln, Skype and BBM were least preferred social media sites. Independent samples test result showed there was no significant gender difference in the preference of social media sites (t = 1.039, p>0.05). The result showed that 81.4% of the students had come across HIV/AIDS information on social media, while only 24.8% had shared HIV/AIDS information on social media. Prevention methods and general HIV/AIDS knowledge were the main types of information shared. ANOVA result further revealed significant variation in the type of HIV/AIDS information shared on social media among the three universities (F = 5.177; p<0.05). The Post Hoc Test of multiple comparison indicated that type of HIV/AIDS information shared in UI differed significantly from those shared in OAU and UNILAG respectively.Item ICT literacy among undergraduates in Nigerian universities(Springer, 2011) Adetimirin, A. E.The purpose of this study was to investigate the availability, use of Information and Communication Technology and the ICT literacy skills of undergraduates in seven Nigerian universities. The descriptive survey research design was adopted and seven universities were selected based on distribution of ownership of university. Four faculties were purposively selected with a study population of 8,497. Random sampling procedure was employed using a sampling percentage of 20% to give a sample size of 1,702. Results revealed that computer, telephone and the Internet were the three ICT mostly used by the undergraduates, although more on an occasional basis. The undergraduates in the state universities (BSU and IMSU) were found to have poor ICT literacy skills in the use of the three ICT with over 25%, while those with average ICT literacy skills were in the federal universities (ABU and UNIMAID). Three major factors affecting the ICT literacy of the undergraduates were identified as irregular power supply, inadequate ICT and limited duration of the use of the ICT. For increased ICT literacy of undergraduates, the university administrators must introduce courses on ICT competency to all students especially first year students and encourage all lecturers to use ICT for teaching and learning. The article contains original work carried out on the ICT literacy competencies of undergraduates in selected Nigerian universities and the result would be useful to library staff and university administrators.Item A survey of undergraduates’ use of library resources in university of Ibadan: does discipline affect library use?(2012) Adetimirin, A.; Ojetola, A.Use of library resources and factors that hindered use by undergraduates in Social Science and Science disciplines in University of Ibadan was investigated. Random sampling was used to select two and three departments from social science and science respectively and a sample size of 218. Questionnaire was used for data collection. Results showed that print resources were more available for use than electronic resources in both disciplines. Majority of the social science students used the resources for examination and assignment (52.6%), while those in science used them more for examination purposes (57.8%). Books were accessible to students in both disciplines but journals, research projects and dictionaries were more accessible to social science students than science students. Social science students used books, journals, research projects and dictionaries more frequently than science students. The undergraduates in both disciplines expressed that unavailability of library resources, erratic electricity power supply, and improper preservation of library resources, obsolete materials and inadequate ICT facilities hindered their use of library resources. The use of library resources was determined by their accessibility and discipline of the undergraduates.Item Patterns of journal use by undergraduates in university of Ibadan, Nigeria(2010) Adetimirin, A.; Chukwuka, N.Journal use by undergraduates in University of Ibadan was investigated to determine the purpose, frequency of use and challenges militating against its use. Undergraduates from Education, Science, Social Sciences and Technology were randomly selected to give a sample size of 154 and a questionnaire was used for data collection. Undergraduates in Technology were the highest users journal for class work (50.0%) and research work (42.2%), while 83.3% of those in Science used CDROM as access point to journals. Weekly use of journals was found to be highest for those in Technology. Undergraduates in all the disciplines attributed power supply as a major factor affecting journal use, while those in the Social Sciences agreed that inadequate ICT skills (36.0°/o), inadequate ICT (35.0%) and difficulty locating journals (27.8%) were the major factors that affected their use of journals. Improved use of journals would be achieved when these challenges are eradicated.
