Item Reading interest and attitude as correlates oi: students' performance in junior secondary school Yoruba language reading competence in Oyo state, Nigeria(His Lineage Publishing House, 2014) Abijo, J. A.Performance of students in Yoruba Language in both internal and public examinations is a serious concern which has attracted the attention of stakeholders of language education. In spite of different Research studies to investigate the cause and proffer solution, the problem persisted. It was on this basis, that this study investigated the extent to which reading interest and students' attitude account for students 'Yoruba language reading competency of Junior Secondary School Students in Oyo State. The study adopted non-experimental survey design. The sample consisted of one hundred and twenty Junior Secondary school students randomly selected within Ibadan Metropolis. Two instruments were used for data collection, namely; Reading Interest Scale in Yoruba Language (RISY) and Student Attitude Scale in Yoruba (SASY). The psychometric properties of the instrument used are: Reading Interest Scale in Yoruba Language (r = 0.8) and Students Attitude Scale in Yoruba (r = 0.8). Two research questions were generated and answered The data collected were analyzed using correlation and multiple repressions. The significance level was set at 0.05. The result revealed that the relationship among the predictor variables and the criterion variable is low. Hence, Attitude to Yoruba Language (r = 0.001, p> 0.05) and Reading Interest (r = 0.043, p>0.05) has a negative and low correlation with students' learning outcome in Yoruba Language. This indicates u weak significant and opposite relationship between the predictor variables and criterion variable. Based on these findings, it was recommended that teachers should update themselves through seminars and workshops from time to time on how to make Yoruba leading interesting to students so as to be able to correlate it with students learning outcomes. Schools, teachers and Guidance counselors should counsel students not only to associate reading Yoruba Language to tests, assignments and examination but that it should be a tool for relaxation, enjoyment, pleasure, self- development and advancementItem Investigation of factors that induce premarital sexual intercourse among adolescents in secondary schools in Nigeria(European Scientific Institute, 2019-03) Babatunde, E. O.Adolescence is a period of life that is characterized by dramatic changes in biological processes in physical and social contexts. The period can be demanding and challenging because adolescents are pre-occupied with self- identity, self-image and acceptability in the society as well as self- awareness since the action to be taken is a big part of person’s life in the future particularly on whether or not to engage in premarital sexual intercourse. This study investigated factors that induce adolescents to engage in premarital sexual intercourse among secondary school students in Nigeria. The study was guided by three research questions and one hypothesis and adopted survey research design. Multistage sampling technique was used to sample 600 students from all the six geo-political zones in Nigeria. One instrument with reliability coefficient of 0.79 was used for data collection. Descriptive and Inferential statistics was used to analyze the data collected, Finding shows that previous sexual abuse experience (75%) was the most potent factor that induces premarital sexual intercourse and four of the of the independent variables showed significant contribution to the dependent variable: previous sexual abuse experience ((3 = .290, p<.05), smoking of prohibited drugs ({3 = -.345, p<.05), peer influence (p = .225, p<.05), poor housing condition (p = .126, p<,05). It was recommended that adolescents should avoid engaging in premarital sexual intercourse and reduce curiosity about sex.Item Social-demographic factors as predictors of tuberculosis patients non-compliance to treatment in Nigeria(Educational Assessment & Research Network in Africa (EARNiA), 2019-06) Babatunde, E. O.Tuberculosis (TB) is a potential fatal contagious disease and is mainly an infection of the lungs. Pulmonary and extra pulmonary tuberculosis are the two kinds common in Nigeria with Pulmonary TB accounting for 80% of all cases. The Direct Observation strategy on Treatment of Tuberculosis (DOT) is an international adopted strategy to improve adherence among patients. In spite of this strategy, tuberculosis cases are on the increase in Nigeria. The study investigates Social-Demographic Factors Predicting Non-Compliance of Tuberculosis Patients to Treatment in Nigeria. The research design is ex-post-facto. Four research questions guide the study and participants are 250 patients and health workers. Two instruments: Tuberculosis Treatment Compliance Questionnaire (TTCQ,) r= 0.82 and Health Facility Records of TB Patients are used to collect data which is analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics at 0.05 level of significance. It is found out that irregular visit to treatment centers, patients' partial recovery and decision to discontinue treatment are the characteristics that highly affect TB patients' non-compliance to treatment. The patients' characteristics that mostly influence TB treatment compliance and contribute to the model are educational level (P -.539, p<.05) and attitude of health workers (V -.315, p<.05). It is recommended that government should ensure that TB treatment centers are located across health centers which are in close proximity to enhance patients’ regular visits and treatment compliance. Patients should develop positive attitude towards Completing their treatment to avoid relapse.Item Teacher competence and students' attitude as correlates of Students' acdemic achievement in mathematics in Ibadan Metropolis(Institute of Education, University ofIBadan, Ibadan, 2019-06) Ajijola, B. O.; Babatunde, E. O.Item School facilities, Parental Subject Perception and Teachers’ Professionalism as Correlates of Students’ Learning Outcome in Agricultural Science in Bayelsa State(Institute of Education, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria., 2018) Babatunde, E. O.Students' poor performance in science generally and Agricultural science in particular has been considered a serious problem in senior secondary school education by the major stakeholders in spite of various governmental efforts and instructional resources employed in the classroom to teach. The study carried out empirical investigation on school facilities, parental subject perception and teachers' professionalism as correlates of students' learning outcome in Agricultural Science. Four research questions that were raised and answered. This study adopted survey design of correlational type. Purposive sampling technique was used to sample 40 SS2 students per school and 400 parents of agricultural students as well as 20 teachers giving a total of 820 respondents. The three independent variables include school facility, parent subject perception and teachers’ professionalism while the dependent variable is student learning outcome in Agricultural Science. The four instruments for data collection are: School Facilities Inventory (SF!) (r=0.86), Teachers' Professionalism Questionnaire (TPQ), (r=0.71), Parental Subject Perception Questionnaire (PSQ) (r =0.76) and Agricultural Science Achievement Test (ASAT) with reliability coefficient of 0.83. Inferential statistics was used to analyse the data collected. Results revealed a positive and negative significant relationship among the predictors (School Facility (r = .0.248, p< 0.05), Parental Subject Perception (r a -.0.244, p< 0.05) and Teachers' Professionalism (r = .0.250, p<0.05). Moreover, there is a positive multiple correlation among the three predictors(R = 0.343). Also, the model was found to be statistically significant (F 0, 3%) = 17.651, p < 0.05). It is therefore recommended that teachers should ignite student interest and increase student motivation to learn by making connections between what the students are learning and what is going on in their own lives.Item School facilities, parental subject perception and teachers’ professionalism as correlates of students’ learning outcome in agricultural science in Bayelsa State(Institute of Education, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria., 2018) Babatunde, E.

O.The current state of education in Nigeria as evidenced by student’s performance at the undergraduate level examinations has been worrisome. The low performance has generated much concern for stakeholders in education. Varied problems might be responsible for this poor performance which includes parental involvement and emotional intelligence. This study investigated parental involvement and students’ emotional intelligence on academic achievement among undergraduate students in Nigerian Universities. The study is a survey research using multistage sampling technique. Three instruments- Parental Involvement Rating Scale (r= 0.75), Students’ Emotional Intelligence Scale (r=0.73) and General Study Achievement Test (r=0.69) were used for data collection. Data collected from 500 respondents selected proportionate to size from three universities owned by federal, state and private owners was analysed using frequency counts, percentages, Pearson product moment correlation and multiple regression at p<0.05 significance level. Results show that 358(71%) respondents claimed that they helped their children make good grades in school. More students 383(78%) reportedly agreed that they understood their emotion. The highest relationship was between social awareness and academic achievement. (r= 0.188). Among the predictor variables, self-awareness was the most potent and contributed most to the model (that parental involvement and students’; emotional intelligence should he improved in the university system.: Town and gown should be encouraged in ensuring that parents' are f involved in: university collaboration. Lecturers should monitor and understand their students’ emotional intelligence in the process of teaching and learning. = 0.324); followed by social awareness (β = 0.13,6); and then academic support (β = 0.115). There existed a linear relationship between the predictor variables and the criterion variable. Seven predictor variables accounted for 13.6% (Adjusted R2= 0.136) of the variance in students’ academic achievement. It was recommended that parental involvement and students’; emotional intelligence should he improved in the university system. Town and gown should be encouraged in ensuring that parents' are involved in: university collaboration. Lecturers should monitor and understand their students’ emotional intelligence in the process of teaching and learning.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. O.; Elemide, B. O.The study is a correlational research type. The sample for the study comprised 200 respondents from 5 public schools in Ibadan North West Local Government Area of Oyo State. 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. Based on the findings, it is recommended that parents should be deeply committed to activities that connect with the schooling process of their children to foster academic achievement.Item Influence of school absenteeism, peer influence and parental factors on students’ achievement in basic science and technology in Ibadan Metropolis(Department of Human Kinetics, University of Ibadan, 2018) Babatunde, E. O.A school is a place of learning in morality and inculcating discipline in students. It is established as the agent of the society to mould the habits, interest, attitudes and feelings of children and transmit societal norms, culture, values’ and traditions from one genera/ion to another. In spite of the advantages of schooling, some students do not attend classes and the situation in the secondary schools regarding the issue of absenteeism has damaging effects on students’ academic achievement. Therefore, this study examined the impact of school absenteeism, parental factors and peer influence on the academic performance of junior secondary school basic science and technology students in Ibadan metropolis. Five research questions guided this study. The study is a survey with a population of 143,692 junior secondary school students in Ibadan metropolis from where 800 students were selected using simple random sampling technique. Three instruments used are: “Students Attendance Record” (SAR) obtained from the school register. “Parental Factor and Peer influence Questionnaire (PFPIQ), r=0.82 and “Students Achievement Test” SAT) r=0.79. Data collected was subjected to descriptive analysis of frequency counts, percentages and mean and inferential statistics using Pearson Product Moment Correlation and Multiple regression analysis at 0.05 level of significance. The result showed a significant relationship between absenteeism and students’ achievement (.r=.284*, N=1091, p. 05). There was a positive significant relationship between peer influence and students’ achievement (r = 247*, n - 1091, p<. 05), absenteeism from school, lack of positive support from parents and peer influence affects students’ academic performance. Therefore, parents should support their children and monitor their activities while strong ties should exist between the school and the home to prevent absenteeism and negative peer influence.Item Influence of Health Education and Healthy Lifestyle on Students' Academic Achievement in Biology in Nigeria(Institute of Education, University of Ibadan, Nigeria, 2017) Babatunde, E. O.The positive effects of health education and healthy lifestyle on adolescent academic achievement cannot be over emphasized as learning experiences to help students accurately assess the level of risk-taking behaviour among their peers, emphasis on the value of good health that reinforces health-enhancing attitudes and beliefs are paramount. Little effort had been made by researchers to examine the influence of health education and healthy lifestyle on students’ academic achievement. This study examined the influence of health education and healthy lifestyle on students’ academic achievement in Biology. Seven hundred and twenty (720) students of both sexes participated in the study. Three instruments used in the study are Health Education Efficiency Questionnaire (α=0.89), Adolescent Healthy Lifestyle Questionnaire (α=0.94) and Biology Achievement Test (r=0.88). Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics of Multiple Regression at p<0.05. The result showed that three independent variables were found to have significant relative prediction on students’ achievement. Health Education, β = -0.097, t (715) = 2.102, p<0.05, Risk Behaviour, β = 0.011, t (715) = 0.241, p<0.05 and Value for good Health, β = -0.138, t (715), = 3.843, p<0.05. It is therefore recommended that health education should be made mandatory for all students in the secondary school to enable them form and develop a healthy lifestyle.
