Two instruments used for this study were Social Factors Questionnaire (SFQ) and Perception to Teenage Pregnancy Questionnaire (PTPQ). The findings revealed that social media usage (β = 0.09, t = 2.32), parenting style (β =0.07, t = 2.14) and sexuality education (β = 0.11, t = 3.90) contributed significantly to the prediction of male proneness to pregnancy. Also, social media usage (β = 0.10, t = 2.27) contributed significantly to the prediction of female proneness to pregnancy. Parental support (β = 0.05, t = -1.24), parenting style (β = -0.07, t = -1.80), peer influence (β = 0.07, t = 1.62) and sexuality education (β = 0.06, f= 1.68) did not contribute significantly to female proneness to teenage pregnancy. The authors concluded that parents and tall: educational stakeholders should join hands to guide youth against the. menace of teenage pregnancy.Item Psychological factors as predictors of proneness to teenage pregnancy among public secondary school students in Ibadan, Oyo State(Institute of Education, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria and International Centre for Educational Evaluation, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria, 2020-08) Elemide, B. O.; Babatunde, E. O.Teenage pregnancy is one of the socio-economic challenges confronting this millennium. Therefore, this study explored the proneness of girls to pregnancy and the proneness of boys to impregnating the girls, The study is a correlational research type. The sample comprised 1200 respondents from 12 public secondary schools in Ibadan (six from city and less city each), Oyo State. Two instruments namely Psychological Factors Questionnaire PFO (α = 0.68) and Proneness to Teenage Pregnancy Questionnaire of boys and girls to pregnancy PTPQ with (α ,0.67) and (α =0.60) respectively used to collect data from the respondents and data collected were analyzed using multiple regression analysis. All the predictors accounted for 55% of the variance observed in proneness of boys to impregnating girls and 31% of variance observed in proneness of girls to pregnancy. Parental attitude contributed most significantly to the prediction of proneness of boys to impregnating the girls while students' attitude contributed most significantly to the prediction of girls' proneness to pregnancy. Based on the findings, it is recommended that sexuality education should be effectively taught at secondary school level so as to instill in the students' the necessary values that make them abstain from premarital sexual activities.Item Assessing determinants of students’ achievement in senior secondary school biology(Institute of Education, University of Ibadan on-behalf of Participating West Africa Universities and Ministries of Education, 2018) Babatunde, E.

Three instruments namely: Parental Role Scale (a =0.71), Grasha-Riechmann Student Learning Style Scale (a = 0.87) and Biology Achievement Test (KR20 = 0.88) were used to collect data from the respondents and data collected were analyzed using multiple regression analysis. Results indicated that a statistically significant linear relationship exists between the predictor variables (parental roles and students learning style) and the criterion variable (students’ academic achievement in biology). Parental roles accounted for 4.9% of the variance in students’ achievement in biology while learning styles account for 4% of the total variance observed in students’ achievement in biology.

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.
