Innovative teaching and assessment during covid-19
(Educational Assessment & Research Network in Africa Faculty of Education, Yaounde 1 University, Cameroon, 2021) Akorede, S. F.
As numerous countries of the world experienced lockdown, due to the COVID-19 pandemic schools in Nigeria were closed in March 2020. Though schools started partial-reopening seven months after the lockdown in September, severe restrictions remain the order of the day in schools, as it is in some other sectors like sports. Any assurance on when the restrictions will completely be removed appears to be barely feasible at the moment. As a result of the situation, course facilitators in Nigeria were only able to sustain minimal face to face interactions with learners, and they were forced to subscribe to online instructional delivery which poses some substantial predicaments. In view of this, the paper investigates innovative teaching and assessment (selection of YouTube videos, email-based consultation, online mock quizzes and Google classroom) strategies during COVID-19. Different teaching and assessment methods were discussed, and the following lessons from COVID-19 circumstance were highlighted: The Pandemic lockdown offered learners opportunities to access different learning materials to aid their study of the subject area; learners acknowledge the physical presence of visual instructors for their learning of the course resources; another lesson is the significance of a precise and dependable work-book for the course delivered. The paper then recommends that academic organisation should embrace innovation in technology in order to tackle the issues of pressure on server, inadequate computer gadgets, and lack of technical know-how in software installations. Similarly, institution should have an alternative strategy in place to combat the challenges posed by the pandemic without prejudice to students learning and in readiness for future crisis.

(Centre for Research in Nigerian Languages, Translation & Folklore, 2018) Maude, L. K.; Akorede, S. F.
The World Education Forum in Dakar, Senegal in 2000, countries across the world declared that “no countries seriously committed to Education for All (EFA) will be frustrated in their achievement of this goal by lack of resources”. Yet, only 0.2% of the over 9.3 million nomads in Nigeria are literate who are just a part of other social groups that are termed educationally disadvantaged thereby deepening the challenges facing the educational sector in Nigeria cum Africa due to their non-sedentary nature. Consequently, the nomadic primary education programme was established to bridge the challenges facing the sector by providing quality education service to the nomads. This study, using 5 research questions sought to End out the perception of the respondents on the challenges facing the effective implementation of the nomadic primary education programme. The instrument used to collect data was the questionnaire which was administered to 400 respondents selected from twenty different nomadic primary schools in Kaduna State, Nigeria. The design was a survey. Data collected were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential method of statistics. The study showed that there is dearth of teachers in the nomadic primary schools; instructional facilities are grossly inadequate, lack of adequate grazing reserves, inadequate funding and the problem of constant migration among others. Summary and conclusion were

The study investigated nexus among health literacy, reproductive health and lifestyle modifications among women of reproductive age in teaching profession in Osun State, Nigeria. Purposive and simple random sampling techniques were employed to selected one-hundred and eighty-six teachers. A self-designed instrument was used to elicit information from the participants. Both descriptive and inferential statistical tools were explored to analyse the generated data. The findings of the research demonstrated a moderate positive association between health literacy and reproductive health of women of reproductive age in teaching profession. The study further revealed a significant relationship between lifestyle modifications and reproductive health among women of reproductive age in the teaching profession. The findings indicated that the top strategies included simplifying health information using plain language, providing training for healthcare providers, and using visual aids like diagrams, pictures, and videos. Other notable strategies included offering reproductive health services and counselling, providing access to accurate information, and promoting physical activity, healthy eating habits, stress management, and healthy sleep habits. The study concluded that health literacy, reproductive health and lifestyle modifications of women of reproductive age go a long way in enhancing their well-being and overall effectiveness in teaching profession.

Integration of artificial intelligence in industrial education: a review of current trends and future directions
(Stecab Publishing, 2025) Momoh, A. M.; Olajide, F. O.; Ogundipe, R. O.; Adesina, A. D.
Digital revolution and the resultant emergence of Industry 4.0 has driven the incorporation of Artificial intelligence (AI) in Industrial education to enhance skills development in the industry. However, there is a lack of adequate empirical evidence on the integration of Artificial intelligence in industrial education. To fill this gap, this study reviewed previous studies on the adoption of AI in Industrial education and examined the frequency of occurrence of variables obtained in the studies reviewed. Relevant literature was screened and reviewed to find empirical evidence to support findings. A systematic review of 14 studies provided insights into the current applications, benefit and challenges of AI integration in industrial education. The study found that the most cited applications of AI is Adaptive and personalized learning systems, which customise workers/learners’ information based on their interaction with learning content. Other applications are augmented simulators for real-time feedback, virtual mentors, and intelligent tutoring systems which replicate real-life interaction with professionals among others. Majority of the studies found increased engagement and improved learning outcomes and skills development as benefit of AI integration in Industrial education. Other benefits are promotion of early identification of learning challenges and timely intervention and feedback, improvement in administrative efficiency and support, personalisation of learning. Notable challenges were skills and capacity gaps, lack of infrastructure and AI resources, curriculum issues and difficulty in integrating AI into current curriculum, ethical and privacy concerns among others. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended that the skill gap should be filled with training in AI applications and use, investment in AI infrastructural development should be explored, industry collaboration and partnership in the area of needs should be considered, AI marketing and literacy should be adopted in industries, all AI intervention should be a continuing and lifelong process to ensure sustainability.
The economics of health and agency: analysing the impact of women's economic empowerment on reproductive health outcomes in Oyo State, Nigeria
(Stecab Publishing, 2025-08) Fatoye, H. A.; Afolabi, A.; Arowolo, S. M.; Adejuwon, A. M.
This study used a cross-sectional quantitative survey design. Two randomly selected Local Government Areas (LGA) are Egbeda and Ibadan North East. The study population was women of reproductive age. Amartya Kumar Sen’s Capability Approach provided the framework. A five stage sampling technique was adopted for the selection of these women. Utilising a structured questionnaire administered to 233 women across Oyo State, the research explores the types of reproductive health services accessed, perceived barriers, and the relationship between economic autonomy and ealth outcomes. Findings reveal that maternal care (88.8%), delivery services (82.0%), postnatal care (81.5%), and family planning (79.8%) are the most commonly accessed services, indicating strong engagement with maternal and preventive health care. Despite positive perceptions of access, particularly regarding confidentiality (mean = 3.55) and affordability (mean = 3.37) some gaps persist, especially in service availability during convenient hours (mean = 3.07) and regular health information dissemination (mean = 2.93). Women reported high levels of economic empowerment, with strong agreement on heir ability to work or run businesses (mean = 3.55) and access to financial resources (mean = 3.60). A significant positive relationship was found between women’s economic empowerment and access to reproductive health services (r = .708, p < .001), especially in areas such as family planning and reproductive health education, which enhance productivity and business opportunities. Barriers to empowerment and health access were linked to cultural, social, policy, and financial factors. Respondents strongly supported strategies such as increased government funding (mean = 3.90), policy integration (mean = 3.88), and community engagement, particularly involving men and traditional leaders. The study concludes that strengthening the link between reproductive health and economic empowerment through policy reform, education, and inclusive community strategies is essential for advancing women’s wellbeing and economic growth in Oyo State. The government should prioritise the integration of reproductive health and women’s economic empowerment into national and state-level development policies.
