Assessment of resource inputs and service delivery in school library media centers in Nigeria: implications for basic and post-basic education
(Nigerian School Library Association, 2013) Aramide, K. A.; Elaturoti, D. F.
Resource inputs into school library media programme have been identified as major determinants of the success of service delivery in School Library Media Centres (SLMCs). The quality of outputs from any system cannot be better than the quality of inputs supplied. Therefore, this study investigated the state of resource inputs provision and service delivery in SLMCs in Nigeria. The study is part of a larger study on the assessment of school library media programme in Nigeria. The sample population for the study comprises of 163 respondents drawn from the participants that participated at the 25th and 26th Annual conferences of the Nigerian School Library Association held at Abeokuta, Ogun State and Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State in year 2010 and 2011 respectively. Four research questions were answered in the study. The instrument of data collection was the questionnaire designed for the study. The trial test of the questionnaire and analysis of responses revealed a reliability coefficient or 0.71 which was considered appropriate for the study. The findings from the study generally revealed a poor state of quality and quantity of resource inputs such as accommodation, learning resource, personnel, and ICT resource into SLMCs in Nigeria. Specifically, the study established a poor state accommodation and space provision in SLMCs in state government owned and privately owned schools in Nigeria. With regards to human resource inputs into SLMCs, the study established a poor state of qualified personnel inputs into SLMCs in Nigeria especially in federal and state government owned schools though privately owned schools fared better in this area. Furthermore, the availability of unbalanced state of learning resources that consist mainly print media was established as the predominant situation in SLMCs in Nigeria. The dearth of computerized library and Internet facility was discovered in SLMCs in government owned schools in Nigeria. The study recommended the need for government and proprietors/proprietresses of schools in Nigeria to be more committed to the various guidelines on the minimum requirements for SLMCs to ensure better learning and teaching environment in schools.

The level of social media addiction among the students was found to be low. The study revealed that there is no significant difference in the level of addiction to social media between undergraduate and postgraduate students. On the other hand, the study established a significant difference in the level of social media utilization between undergraduate and postgraduate students in Nigerian universities as the undergraduate students were found to utilize social media more than their postgraduate counterparts.
Computer self-efficacy and computer attitude as correlates of internet use of secondary school students’ in Nigeria
(African Journals Online, 2016) Oyewusi, F. O.; Sokoya, A. A.; Aramide, K. A.
The Internet as a useful tool that supports teaching and learning is not in full use in most secondary schools in Nigeria hence limiting the students from maximizing the potentials of Internet in advancing their academic pursuits. This study, therefore, examined the extent to which computer self-efficacy and computer attitude influence Internet use among senior secondary school students (SS1 and SS11) in public secondary schools in Lagos State, Nigeria. This study utilized the descriptive survey research design of the ex-post-facto type. Instruments used to collect data were Computer Self-Efficacy (CSE) (r=0.73), Computer Attitude (CATT) (r=0.85), and Internet Use (IU) (r=0.78)) scales. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation and Multiple regressions at 0.8 level of significance. The relative contributions of the independent measures of Internet use were: CSE (β= .319, t=7.712), and ATC (β=-.099, t=3.085). The Computer Self-Efficacy, and Computer Attitude of senior secondary school students significantly influenced Internet use (F (3,559) = 60.064) respectively.

(Nigerian School Library Association, 2012) Elaturoti, D. F.; Aramide, K. A.
This study investigated the dearth of collection and reading promotion programmes in school library media centres (SLMC) in Nigerian schools. The survey research design method was adopted for the study while questionnaire was used as the major instrument of data collection. One hundred and thirty seven (137) copies of questionnaire were administered on school librarians/school library media specialists/teacher-librarians, heads of library, and proprietors/proprietress of schools that were among the participants that attended the 25th and 26th Annual Conferences of the Nigerian School Library Association at Abeokuta, 2010 and Ado Ekiti, 2011 respectively. However, only ninety two (92) copies of the questionnaire were found to have useful responses that were used for the study. The findings of the study revealed a dearth of learning resources such as periodical literature and audiovisual resources to be used in promoting and developing favourable reading culture among pupils in Nigerian schools. Also, the study revealed a dearth of reading promotion programmes such as story hour and book talks in SLMC in Nigerian schools. The study highlights the need for the provision of adequate funding for schools and SLMCs in Nigeria to enable schools stock their SLMCs with adequate and relevant collection and also to enable them carry out programmes that will help in developing the reading culture of Nigerian children.
Effect of parental background factors on reading habits of secondary school students in Ogun State, Nigeria
(Information Technology Application Group (ITAG) International, 2015) Aramide, K. A.
Purpose: This study was carried out to investigate the extent to which parental background factors predict reading habits among secondary school students in Ogun State, Nigeria. This is part of a larger study carried out to investigate factors predicting reading habits of secondary school students in Ogun State. Design/Methodology/Approach: The survey research design method of the correlational type was adopted for this study. Three specific objectives were set for the study while four research questions were answered. The multi-stage sampling technique was used to select a sample size of 595 senior secondary school two students to form the respondents for the study. The main instrument of data collection was the questionnaire designed by the researcher for the study. Five hundred and ninety five copies of questionnaire were distributed to the students out of which only 384 were returned with useful responses giving a response rate of 64.5%, The descriptive technique using frequency counts, percentages, mean scores and ranking as well as inferential technique of pearson product moment correlation were adopted for data analysis. Findings: The results of the study revealed that the secondary school students’ demonstrate high interest in reading as revealed by their keenness in reading and that the students read mainly for the purposes of passing examination, getting information, personal development, and knowledge acquisition. The results of the study also revealed that family income and father’s occupation are the only background factors that positively affect or influence reading habits of secondary school students. On the other hand, findings from the study revealed that background factors when taken together do not significantly jointly affect reading habits of students. Implication: In order to address the negative effects which parents’ occupation, educational level and family type are having on reading habits of students, it is suggested that government should provide a kind of safety nets through provision of monetary incentives to parents with low socio-economic status to enable them make provision for relevant reading materials for their wards/children. Originality/Value: It is, therefore, recommended that school libraries/school library media centres should be adequately stocked with relevant library and information resources to enable students from both high and low parental background have access to more library and information resources to improve their reading habits and ultimately bring about improved achievement in their academic endeavours.
