Item Assessment of good practices in blended learning as an institutional approach for enhancing students’ learning experiences in higher institution(Educational Assessment & Research Network in Africa (EARNiA), 2015) Babatunde, E. O.Methods used for teaching and learning have been found to directly affect and substantially enhance students' learning experiences but the extent to how good practices in blended learning has enhanced student learning experiences in higher institutions has not been sufficiently examined. This study assesses good practices in blended learning as an institutional approach for enhancing students learning experiences in higher institution. Mixed method was adopted for the study (qualitative and quantitative approach) qualitative approach made use of structural interview conducted on twenty coordinators and lecturers while the structured questionnaire titled “Good Practices in Blended Learning Questionnaire ” constructed by the researcher was pilot tested that yielded Cronbach Alpha reliability of r=. 79 was used for data collection. Simple random sampling technique was used to select 250 University of Ibadan Distance Learning students. Data collected from interview was analyzed using thematic approach while quantitative data was analyzed using independent t-test. The result shows a significant mean difference between face to face (M-9.87, S.D. =1.96) and on-line interaction (M = 5.40, S.D-1.91) in cooperation among student (t=2.334, p<0:05). Also, a significant mean difference exist between on-line (M= 7.95, S.D=1.96) and face to face interaction (M=13.30, S.D. =1.66) in course satisfaction among the students (t= 17.87, p<.05). Individual differences does not significantly influence student's learning in both on-line (M=8.50, S.D. = 67) and traditional face to face (M=8.31, S.D. =1.22) interaction (t = 1.87, p<.05). Thematic analysis revealed that range of learning resources; lectures, power point presentation among others were provided to support online quizzes, and class exercise. Hence, blended learning environment is judiciously implemented and hold promise for students learning achievement.Item Creative physical and health education as a tool for character training among secondary school students in Nigeria(West African Journal of Education 34, pp. 140-149, 2014) Babatunde, E. O.A strong belief exists that Physical and Health Education (PHE) have the power to promote the development of behaviors, ethical decision-making skills, and a total curriculum for moral character development as well as providing a social environment to acquire personal and social values and behaviors contributing to good character and good citizenship. There is dearth of empirical research supporting that participation in PHE leads to character training. However, Creative PHE has immense power to shape consciousness, values, and beliefs of students that could be passed on to selected aspects of the dominant culture. This paper therefore discusses the formal and informal processes of character training among Secondary School Students in Nigeria. Character training is seen in two different ways which are moral and social values which include loyalty, sacrifice, good citizenship, dedication, healthful living and cleanliness, while moral values include honesty, fairness, fair play, justice, and responsibility. Social values, which are highly esteemed in our society, are about the real world and how society views the importance of social character. Social values are positive assets but must be tempered by moral values. Character training through PHE should be systematic and involve formal and informal processes. Creative PHE provided powerful contexts for the teaching and learning of good moral habits and for this to succeed, students need both thinking and reasoning programmes, role models, a supportive environment, and the strong moral/philosophical commitment of community members, parents, teachers, students and the media.Item Investigating 21st century creativity skills through learning styles prevalence among secondary school students in Ibadan, South-West, Nigeria(Institute of Education, University of Ibadan on-behalf of Participating West Africa Universities and Ministries of Education, 2014) Otunla, A. O.; Babatunde, E. O.Investigating 21st century creativity skills through learning styles prevalence among secondary school students in Ibadan, South-West, NigeriaItem Evaluation of home type, abuse prevalence and care- perception on physical and emotional health among elderly people in South West, Nigera(Department of Educational Management University of Ibadan, 2014-01) Babatunde, E. O.; Oyegbade, M. T. O.Many countries may encounter a demographic change where the number of elderly people will increase. As a result, the number of very old people needing care, services and medical assistance will increase; Care in the private home is often described as providing the best alternative for many elderly people. The aim of this study was to evaluate elderly people's home type, different form of abuse experienced, perceptions of how they are cared for and its effect on their physical and emotional health. The was a survey research adopting expost facto research design. Multistage sampling technique was used to sample Three hundred and sixty elderly people living in a private home that participated in this study. Three instruments: Elderly Persons Care- Perception Questionnaire (EGPQ),r=0.87, Elderly Abuse Prevalence Questionnaire (EAPQ) r = 0.88 and A structured Interview with inter- rater reliability of 0.93 was used to collect data. Descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and Multiple Regression Analysis was used to determine possible effect among variables. The result revealed a positive and significant relationship between abuse prevalence, carer perception (6 = 0.247, t(629) = 6.383, P < 0.05), Care-Perception (6 = - .047, t = .55, and physical and emotional health. Furthermore, nearly a quarter or 25% reported significant levels of psychological abuse of neglect which affected their physical and emotional health. It is therefore recommended that strategies to monitor abuse among elderly people be put in place while arrangement is made for public home caregivers to reduce prevalence of abuse.Item Approaches to solving problems encountered by teachers and students in secondary school biology practical class in Nigeria(Institute of Education, University of Ibadan on-behalf of Participating West Africa Universities and Ministries of Education, 2014) Babatunde, E. O.Science is valuable both in acquisition of knowledge and in vocational training. The role played' by science cannot be overemphasized as the bedrock on which the bulk of present technological innovations are built. Biology is a science subject that deals with all living things and their existence as well as relationship with non-living things. In spite of the importance of the subject, students had shown continuous under achievement in the subject in secondary school level over the years which can be attributed to poor performance in practical examination. This study, investigated problems encountered by teachers and students in practical biology among secondary school students in Nigeria. Four research hypotheses were tested at 0.05 significance of difference. The study adopts an ex-post facto research design. Sample consisted of One thousand and three hundred (1,300) students and One hundred and thirty (130) Biology teachers from the selected schools. Two validated instruments: Biology Teachers Questionnaire on Practical Work (0.78) and Students Questionnaire on Practical Work in Biology (0.82) were used. Data collected were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. There is a significant difference in the perception of problems encountered in practical work in Biology by both teachers and students (t= 9.052, degree of freedom, df = 211; p< 0.05). Moreover, there is no significant relationships between teachers’ and students’ perception of problems encountered in practical work in Biology (r=-0.031, p>.05). Findings from the study are an eye opener to the problems encountered by teachers and students in practical biology. Regular seminar and workshops should be organized for teachers so as to incorporate into them new ideas and innovation for effective practical teaching.Item A collaborative approach to graduate preparation in higher institutions for global economy in Nigeria(Serials Publications, New Delhi, India, 2014-06) Babatunde, E. O.; Elemide, B. O.As the world becomes a global village, one expects that a young graduate will, exhibits, integrate and apply the knowledge-of technology effectively to solve societal problems. Barents, employers, and people at the corridor of power are interested in the quality of output provided by the universities. All of these expectations fall short in the quality of graduates that are- turned out in Nigeria. Institutional -leaders who hire hew graduates for various positions, 'analysts of higher education, and potential administrative staff raise questions about the appropriateness of graduate preparation for the changing workplace contexts. Without doubt, individuals expected to replace retiring workforce must demonstrate a wider array of talents than their predecessors, as well as higher levels of productivity. In this context, the experiences of these new graduates are characterized by stress, pressure, inefficiency ineffectiveness and uncertainty that made them unfit for the work available. It is therefore the aim. of this paper to address the question of whether or not the graduate preparation process is adequate and appropriate, and whether there will be provision of industrious and efficient graduates if higher institutions collaborate with community. The study is a survey type. A multistage sampling technique was used to select fifteen universities and three hundred participants. One instrument, Graduate Preparation Process Questionnaire (GPPQ) was administered to collect data from participants. The result revealed that 87% agreed that the learning period is adequate for producing quality, graduates. Moreover, 92% agreed that the curriculum is long overdue for review while majority of the participants 86% agreed that the academic environment is not conducive for learning. Lastly, 64% agreed that collaborative efforts with communities will bring about provision of quality graduates. It is recommended that innovative approach by higher institutions should be implemented to remove barriers to academic excellence and demonstration of skills sufficient enough for engagement in labour market.Item Effects of two methods of teaching badminton strokes on skill performance of children(2014-01) Babatunde, E. O.This study investigated effects of two teaching styles on leaching badminton strokes on skill performance of children ages 8-11 years. A sample of 120 boys was randomly selected from a population of 310 volunteers in a private school in Ikoyi. Lagos State. Nigeria. Forty children each from this group were then randomly assigned to form two treatment groups and one control group who participated in the study using three teachers and three different styles. The teaching styles: command/practice. reciprocal and guided discover) were selected from spectrum. An experimental pre-test- post-test-control group design was employed in which the effects of the two treatments were examined under laboratory-like conditions. The teaching behaviours were measured using a computer-coding system devised for Ames's guidelines on how to create a mastery climate with the significant level at p<0.05. The two experimental groups were subjected to the treatment while the control group was exposed to placebo. Results revealed that the treatments groups with repeated measures on the trials factor yielded a significant main effect on the entry behaviour F (2.117) = 190.28. P.<0.05 for overhead dear and within the treatment groups, pre-to-mid-test differences were all found to be significant P<0.05. (6.26. 7.84) for underarm stroke and (0.76. 8.87) for overhead clear. Practice style proved to be an effective instructional strategy (pre M = 6.70, mid M = 9.43. post M = 15.98) for Underarm stroke and (pre M = 6.38. mid M = 8.35. post M = 17.20) for overhead clear respectively as this treatment group showed considerable progress from the pre-test to post-test. These results showed that the reciprocal and the practice styles are effective in enhancing pupils' performance and learning development in primary school physical education.Item Motivation for participation of secondary school, students in sports and physical activities in Nigeria(Institute of Education, University of Ibadan on-behalf of Participating West Africa Universities and Ministries of Education, 2013-06) Babatunde, E. O.The study was to examined different motivations for secondary school students' participation in sport and physical activities in Nigeria. A sample of 1,800 secondary school students from 60 public schools in Nigeria was studied to determine what motivated their participation in sports and physical activities. The sample was stratified across public schools in the six geo-political zones of the country and all students completed the Participation Motivation Questionnaire (PMQ) as well as Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire (TEOSQ) with 0.79 and 0.84 respectively. The results revealed that the two achievement goal orientations were slightly but significantly correlated (r= . 18, p< . 01). Task orientation was most strongly related to skill development and team motives, whereas ego-orientation was related most clearly to status motives. Further, canonical correlation analysis showed skill development and team atmosphere incentives to be highly related to task-orientation Moreover, ego orientation was positively and highly correlated with status/recognition motives. Some 20.8% of the variance in participation motivation was explained by the two functions of achievement goal orientation. There were also significant sex differences in motivation to participate in sport activities for all students from the schools. Results of this study suggest that teacher, coaches, and others involved in the promotion of sport and physical activities with children and young people should promote intrinsic, self-determined forms of motivation, such as task orientation. It is therefore recommended that teachers should create a predominantly mastery climate that can be achieved by emphasising personal improvement, choice, and learning in sports and physical activities.Item Cumulative physical activities as correlates of fitness and health status of secondary school students(2011) Babatunde, E. O.Fundamental motor skill ability has been found to be positively related to performance in physical activity. Physical inactivity on the other hand, has [become a major public health concern, contributing to the chronic, non-communicable disease, epidemic. The rate of inactivity and lack of physical fitness prevalent in adolescents most often result in cardiovascular diseases which, had led to deaths of many adolescents at their prime age due to heart failure attributed to poor fitness and health. This study, therefore, assessed the) impact of cumulative physical activities, Health Enhancing Physical Activity (HEPA) and Recreation and Light Physical Activity (RLPA) on the fitness and health status of secondary school students. This study was a correlational type. A multi-stage sampling technique was employed in selecting two local governments, ten schools and 170 senior secondary school-students from Ibadan North and Ibadan North East Local Government Areas, Oyo State. The fort instruments used for data collection to answer the seven research questions, using test-retest reliability coefficient were: Exercise, Recreation and Sports Survey Questionnaire (r=0.82), Physical Activity Classification Questionnaire (r = 0,74). Anthropometric and Blood Pressure Characteristics Package (r = 0.80) and Fitness Test of Battery Package (r - = 0.68). Data were analyzed using mean, percentages and multiple regressions. The level of significance was set at P<0.05. Gender, HEPA and RLPA showed no significant influence, while age had a significant relative influence on body composition, (β=17, t = 2.20; P<0.05). There was a significant relationship of cumulative physical activity on physical fitness (r = .03; P<0.05). Moreover, only gender had significant relationship on physical fitness (β = -3.04, P<0.05). There was a significant relationship of cumulative physical activity and blood pressure (r = 0.015; P<0.05). There was an inverse relationship between body mass, age, gender and physical activities, while physical fitness increases in relation to increased physical activity.Item Assessment of adult awareness and perception of covid-19 vaccines on health status of urban dwellers in Nigeria(2016) Babatunde, E. O.The outbreak of coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has significantly inflicted a danger on health, economy and social relations globally covering the six continents and around 2.7 million people had died after contracting the respiratory virus. The global pandemic has necessitated some drastic measures to curb its spread. It is uncertain whether these measures are known and their perception about the measures cannot be ascertained. This study assessed the awareness and perception of COVID-19 vaccine on the health status of urban adult dwellers in Nigeria. The four research questions that guided the study. The study employed correlational research type of non-experimental design. Purposive sampling technique was used to sample 300 participants that took part in the study. Only participants that had taken the COVID-19 vaccine were included in the study. One instrument, Adult Awareness and Perception of Covid-19 Vaccines on Health Status Questionnaire (APCVHSQ) with Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient 0.85 was used for data collection. Data collected was analysed using descriptive statistic of frequency, percentages and mean as well as thematic analysis. The result revealed that majority of the adult population are aware of the various measures embarked upon to curb the spread of the virus (2.50<3.07). Moreover, adult population in Nigeria perception of covid-19 vaccine prevalence was relatively negative (2.50<2.60). In addition, majority 249 (81.6%) of the adult population believed that their health conditions were not worsened after taken Covid- 19 vaccine while 261 (84.2%) of the adult population in Nigeria did not find it difficult to cope with their daily activities after the vaccination. 48.4% had the higher cases of malaria associated with Covid-19 vaccination. It is suggested that more awareness campaign should be embarked upon by the agency responsible for mobilization to reduce the negative attitude of COVID-19 vaccine among the adult population.
