The study sought to ascertain the influence of risk assessment procedures on the financial performance of Anambra State's small and medium-sized companies (SMEs). Two research questions were developed, and one hypothesis was evaluated at a 0.05 level of significance. A correlational design was used in the study. The study's population included 2,895 managers of SMEs in Anambra State. A stratified sampling strategy was used to pick the sample. Thirty percent of small and medium-sized entrepreneurs were picked at random from each stratum, yielding an 868-person sample size. Three experts validated the two questionnaires used to gather data. A pilot test was done on 20 managers of SMEs in Enugu State to examine the dependability of the instruments. The Cronbach Alpha reliability technique was used, and the total reliability coefficient for internal consistency was 0.82, suggesting that the study was reliable. The Cronbach Alpha reliability technique was used to assess the data for each instrument cluster, providing values of 0.78 and 0.85 for clusters 1 and 2, respectively. Pearson's Product Moment Correlation and Multiple Regression were used to analyze the data. According to the findings, risk identification and risk analysis have a beneficial impact on the financial performance of SMEs in Anambra State. Furthermore, a substantial association was discovered between risk assessment techniques and the financial success of the state's SMEs. Based on these findings, several recommendations were made, including the suggestion that top management of SMEs should develop a risk assessment framework tailored to their business size, type, and financial capacity

Basic Science and Technology students need to be grounded well in the subject to enable them develop interest and become prepared for further studies in all branches of science, applied science and social sciences. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of transformation learning strategy on academic achievement of junior secondary three students in basic science and technology in Jaba-Kaduna state, Nigeria. Quasi-experimental research design was used and. The population for this study was 1,920 (915 males and 1,005 females) junior secondary three (JS3) students offering Basic Science and Technology in all the 22 public junior secondary schools. A total of 136 (69 female and 67 male) junior secondary three students in two public junior secondary schools was used as the sample using purposive sampling technique. Two research questions and two research questions guided the study. The instrument used for data collection was Basic Science and Technology Achievement Test (BSTAT) and scrutinised using two experts; the reliability of the instrument was established using Cronbach Alpha method and found to be 0.891. Findings revealed that the mean scores of experimental group achievement improved more than that of the control group after exposure to treatment d that male students had slightly higher achievement mean scores than female students. Among the recommendations that Basic Science and Technology teachers should adopt the use of transformation learning strategy to enhance students’ achievement in Basic Science and Technology subject and all students offering basic science and technology should be given equal opportunity of encouragement irrespective of their gender in learning the subject.

This essay identified peer victimization is a major societal problem that can have detrimental effects on kids' mental, emotional, and social development. It explores how peer victimization affects social behaviour and identifies coping mechanisms that can be applied to lessen these impacts. Examined along with the causes of peer victimization are the surrounding circumstances, including the family environment, community violence, and school atmosphere. The report emphasizes how crucial it is to address these issues to stop and lessen peer victimization. This study highlighted effective coping mechanisms to include self-advocacy and assertiveness, social support, mindfulness and relaxation practices, positive confession, problem-solving abilities, and cognitive restructuring. These coping mechanisms have been demonstrated to be successful in lessening the damaging effects of victimization and encouraging resilience in young children. The essay concluded that avoiding and reducing the prevalence of peer victimization requires the creation of a supportive, safe atmosphere that promotes children’s social development, mental health, and wellbeing. To foster strong relationships among students, encourage good parenting techniques, and support children's mental health and wellbeing, schools, families, communities, and society can play a significant role. Effective coping techniques should be incorporated into school curricula to aid students in handling victimization and bullying occurrences and fostering resilience.

The study investigated teachers’ perception and effectiveness of various behavior modification techniques employed by teachers in treating maladaptive behaviors among pupils in basic schools in Ojo Local Government Education Authority (LGEA) of Lagos State. Mixed research methodologies such as focus group discussions, interviews and questionnaire were used to collect information from respondents. Population included teachers in selected schools in the LGEA. A sample size of 100 respondents was selected. In each of the five selected schools, twenty respondents were selected as samples. The stratified random sampling technique was used to select the respondents from different strata. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to test hypotheses. Results revealed that, there is significant relationship between male and female teachers’ perception in the use of behavior modification techniques in the classroom. This means that respondents have positive reactions to behavior modification and its effectiveness as counseling technique in reducing maladaptive behaviors among pupils in the study area. In addition, empirical analyses from our findings revealed that, commending a covetous pupil made him to start attending lessons, promising a covetous a joke any day he comes to school will encourage him/her to come often. This by implication showed significant negative relationship between material and non-material motivations and behavior modification among primary school pupils in the study area. Based on findings, the study recommends the employment of more counselors in basics schools to provide counseling services and supports to pupils and individuals in the school system that require psycho- emotional assistance

Pearson's Product Moment Correlation and Multiple Regression were used to analyze the data. According to the findings, risk identification and risk analysis have a beneficial impact on the financial performance of SMEs in Anambra State. Furthermore, a substantial association was discovered between risk assessment techniques and the financial success of the state's SMEs. Based on these findings, several recommendations were made, including the suggestion that top management of SMEs should develop a risk assessment framework tailored to their business size, type, and financial capacity.","PeriodicalId":52277,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Evaluation and Research in Education","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134957846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A prominent feature in the pursuance of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the learning process in education is the evaluation and assessment of students. As part of the process of evaluating students’ learning outcomes, effective practice of cont inuous assessment is considered capable of influencing other factors that affect the improvement of teaching and learning. We used a strategy of continuous assessment to teach four Basic Science and Technology courses to minimize observed absenteeism to lectures, improve the active participation of students, and enhance learning during lectures. This study aims to find the relationship between the continuous assessment scores and the examination scores of students in the courses using a descriptive/correlational research design. The sample consists of all the students totaling 2,214 who were examined in the courses for three sessions 2010/2011, 2011/2012, and 2012/2013 in the College of Education, Agbor, Delta State, Nigeria. Their examination scores were correlated with the corresponding continuous assessment scores using Pearson’s product-moment correlation procedure for each of the courses in each academic session. All the correlation coefficients obtained are positive and statistically significant at .05% level, indicating a consistent and significant positive relationship between the continuous assessment scores and the examination scores for each of the courses, each academic session, and the overall sample. Based on this result, we encourage the use of continuous assessment in more pragmatic ways to enhance both the cognitive and non- cognitive correlates of students’ performance in courses in tertiary institutions.
