Item African Social Values and the Contemporary Issues of Respect and Cooperation in Nigeria's Educational Process(2020) Meroyi, S. I.The interdependence of social values and education is mutual because one promotes the other. Whoever passes through the process of education is expected to acquire social values which will differentiate him/her from those without the opportunity. Thus, better social behaviour is expected from educated individuals, although there may be exceptions. In other words, the knowledge acquired from schools should expose recipients lo live rightly and harmoniously with others around them. This philosophical piece therefore examines African social values in relation to respect and cooperation as well as its place in the contemporary African society. The need for Teacher Education practitioners especially, in Nigeria to lay more emphasis on the affective domain of learning as recommended in the paper suggests a possible turn-out of learners from schools with better altitudes and display of characters necessary for desired growth and development of the society.Item Operationalisng Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 in Nigeria: Artificial Intelligence and Employability of Graduates(2020) Meroyi, S. I.Man's deficiency at applying acquired knowledge intelligently has prompted development of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.), a computer device designed to learn new concepts and tasks; it also possesses the ability to reason and draw conclusions about the world. This shows that man finds it difficult to articulate and stimulate knowledge appropriately which affected development. Products of educational institutions particularly in Nigeria have not been found employable. Man and his nature support acquisition of knowledge. However, intelligent application of this knowledge had been queried severally. Can it be claimed that human nature negates positive application of knowledge for the purpose of development? This paper expounded the concepts of human nature, Artificial Intelligence, employability, and education in relation to operationalising United Nation's Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4. The paper employed the speculative, historical, analytic and prescriptive methods, and concluded that operationalising the SDG 4 has become imperative, therefore, every means must be utilised to ensure its success through the process of education. The paper therefore recommended that teachers should discard the 'banking' method of teaching and develop learners said that they are allowed to discover knowledge and endeavour to apply same intelligently with the government providing appropriate environment for education and its process to thrive.Item Perception, attitude and use of indigenous stories among yoruba parents in Lagos State, Nigeria(Joytal Printing Press, Ibadan, 2020) Akintemi, E. O.; Amosun, M. D.In the traditional African societies, indigenous storytelling was a regidar practice where children were told stories by their parents and other members of the family and community. Storytelling played an important role in the family and it was a daily activity in the evening. Recently, many Nigerians do not like to speak their indigenous languages with their children and as a result, these children may not know their indigenous stories even though they know lots of foreign stories. This study therefore, investigated parents’ perception, attitude and use of Yoruba indigenous stories in Lagos State, Nigeria. The study adopted descriptive survey research design. Four research questions were raised and answered. Three hypotheses were formidated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. Two hundred and eighty nine (289) Yoruba parents were purposively selected from both public and private schools in Lagos State. Self- designed questionnaire with reliability index of (a -0.84) was used to collect data for the study. Frequency counts, percentage, mean and standard deviation and t-test were used to analyze the data collected. Findings indicated that parents’ perception and attitude to Yoruba indigenous storytelling is positive, however the frequency of use is still below expectation. Parents with children in public schools significantly used indigenous stories better than parents with children in private schools. Based on the findings it was recommended among other things that storytelling in indigenous language should be used at home by parents, also Nigerian authors should be encouraged to write indigenous storybooks for children.
