The paper examined street hawking as predictor of truancy among secondary school students in Ondo State, Nigeria. The population of the study comprised all the secondary school teachers. A simple random sampling technique was used to select 200 teachers. The instrument for data collection was self-constructed questionnaire titled “Street Hawking and Truancy” on four-point Likert scale. Pearson product movement correlation was used to determine the correlation coefficient which was 0.76. Three hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The hypotheses were tested using analysis. The result indicated that there was a significant relationship between street hawking and truancy amongst secondary school students. The result also showed that there was a significant relationship between street hawking and academic performance of secondary school students, and finally the result revealed that there was a significant relationship between street hawking and academic performance of secondary school students. The study concluded that there was a positive relationship between street hawking, truancy and academic performance due to so many factors such as inability to pay school fee, unauthorized extra fees being charged by school authorities, poor socio-economic status of the students. The study recommended amongst others that the state’s constituted law enforcement agents should further intensify efforts towards apprehending any student found roaming about the streets during official school hours.

Productivity in any organization is dependent on workers’ performance. The wellbeing of workers in any organization is therefore very essential for effective performance. This study explores the psychological effects of job burnout on Technical Education lecturer’s job engagement and performance in Nigeria universities. A descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The study was guided by three research questions and two hypotheses were tested. Adapted validated scales were employed for data collection in the study with an overall reliability coefficient of .90. The population for the study comprised all Technical Education university lecturers in Nigeria. Data collected in the study was analyzed using descriptive statistics of mean and standard deviation (SD), Correlation matrix (Pearson Product Moment Correlation, PPMC), and Multiple regression analysis. The study found a moderate and positive correlation between job burnout and job engagement (r = 0.32; p ˃ 0.05), but a very low correlation between job engagement and performance (r = .01; p ˂ 0.05) among the lecturers. Furthermore, the study found that job burnout (β= .324; p ˃ 0.05) has a non-significant effect on lecturers’ job engagement but a significantly negative psychological effect (β= -.651; p ˂ 0.05) on their job performance. It was concluded that job burnout contributes in no small measure to stress of the lecturers which seemingly has undesired implications on their levels of job engagement and performance. It was therefore recommended that university management teams across the country as well as important stakeholders in the education sector should pay rapt attention to Technical Education lecturers’ wellbeing by introducing measures and work strategies which could reduce job burnout and relatively low stress experience at work.

The study determined the extent of utilization of e-learning teaching strategies by Computer Science Educators in Colleges of Education in South-South, Nigeria. Two research questions guided the study while four null hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. A descriptive survey design was adopted. A total of 219 Computer Science Educators from 10 Colleges of Education in South-South, Nigeria made up the population of the study. There was no sampling as the population size was manageable by the researcher. A structured 20-item validated questionnaire was used for data collection. Three experts validated the instrument and an overall reliability correlation co-efficient of 0.79 was obtained using Cronbach Alpha method. Out of the 219 copies of the instrument distributed, 210 copies were successfully retrieved and used for data analysis. Data related to the research questions were analyzed using mean and standard deviation while z-test statistic was used to test the null hypotheses. The findings from the study revealed that blended learning tools were utilized as e-learning teaching strategies but to a moderate extent, while telecommunication was utilized to a small extent. The study also revealed that type of ownership of institutions i.e., state or federal, do not significantly affect the utilization of e-learning teaching strategies (blended learning and telecommunication) by Computer Science Educators in Colleges of Education in South-South, Nigeria. It was concluded that Computer Science Educators utilized blended learning tools as teaching strategies to a moderate extent as a result of insufficient training and retraining given to them, but telecommunication tools were utilized to small extent. To encourage the use of e-learning teaching strategies by Computer Science Educators, it was recommended, among others, that Computer Science Educators should develop themselves by way of in-service training. They should also constantly use e-learning tools provided by the government through the administrators of institutions in carrying out their teaching tasks.

Issue related to divorce and separations has become a global concern which deprives many school children the opportunity to attain academic excellence in their lives Many misconceptions are surrounding parental separations and divorce in every society which has assumed a worrisome dimension in the last two decades. Though many explanations have been advanced for the dramatic increase in the rate of divorce and separations from the ‘90s. While some individuals claimed this to be unconnected with the changes in the divorce laws in the ‘80s, others contested this submission. The study looks at the ‘psychological influence of parental separation and divorce and how it affects the student’s academic performances in some selected secondary schools in Ijebu North Local Government Area of Ogun State. Descriptive survey research was adopted in the study, whilst 100 students who were identified to be living under single parenting were randomly selected from five secondary schools within the local government areas. The instrument used for data collection was solely questionnaires. The findings of the study revealed that a larger percentage of the respondents are sometimes psychologically depressed with unstable emotions which makes them feel uncomfortable in their academic pursuit whilst the result from the findings revealed that separated parents do not have enough time to either monitor or regularly supervise the academic progress of their wards whilst these children are normally not provided with the necessary learning materials to aid their learning. It was concluded that separation/divorce is social cancer that leads to poor academic performance while recommendation was made based on the outcome of the result from the findings that parents should be more enlightened knowing that the aftermath of divorce and separation always bounce back on the children. Hence couples should adopt dialogue and mutual discussion in resolving family related issues.

Zakāt is one of the principles of Islam which aims at improving the socioeconomic condition of the poor by distributing the wealth of the society in such a manner that no member of the society is left uncared for. In Nigeria, the problem of multi-religious nature of the country makes it difficult to have a well-functioning zakāt management institution provided by the government to manage zakāt collection and distribution. Thereby, zakāt management is left to private Islamic organizations and mostly to the individual zakāt payers which rendered the management of zakāt ineffective as many Muslims still live in abject poverty since they do not feel the impact of the distributions of zakāt by Muslim groups. This paper is thereby designed to root out the factors inhibiting the proper functioning of zakāt management in the Southwestern Nigeria with the hope of putting forward appropriate solutions. The paper adopts a descriptive method where interview was used majorly to collect data from poor Muslims and the Muslim organizations that are involved in zakāt collection and distribution. Findings revealed that zakat institutions in the southwestern Nigeria have not achieved the aim of eradicating poverty among Muslim simply because, it is very difficult for the Muslim organizations to determine the rate of Nisāb of the wealthy individual that is due for the payment of zakāt since it is not managed by the government. This brings about the problem of insufficiency in the annual zakāt funds at the disposal of the groups. The paper recommends some of the things needed for the government to establish a ministry headed by the Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) that will manage the collection and distribution of zakāt in order to take care of the poor, needy, and those put by the Qur’an under the beneficiaries of zakāt.

This study explores how the use of chemical games can convey understanding of chemical concepts to secondary school students. The study therefore focused on the effect of teaching chemistry concepts with the use of games on the achievement of secondary school students. A sample of 40 students was randomly selected from a population of 78 chemistry students of Federal College of Education (Technical) Omoku, Rivers State, Nigeria. The sample was grouped into ‘A’ (experimental) and ‘B’ (control). Solutions were proffered as to the levels of achievements of students taught with chemical game (group A) and those taught without chemical game (group B)Data collected from the tests administered were analyzed by the use of arithmetic mean and t- test of significant difference between two independent group means at 5% level of significance with 38 degrees of freedom and critical table value of 2.021. Results revealed that group A (experimental) performed relatively higher than group B (control) and there was a significant difference between the two groups. Results were discussed while suggestions and recommendations for future research were made.
