Abstract

This study investigates the role of community-based schools in enhancing access to quality education in rural Nigeria and South Africa. A descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The population comprised individuals actively involved with community-based schools in selected rural communities across both countries. A total sample of 300 respondents (150 from Nigeria and 150 from South Africa) was selected using a multi-stage sampling technique involving purposive, stratified, and simple random sampling methods. Data were collected using a structured instrument titled Community-Based Schools Educational Access and Quality Questionnaire (CBSEAQ). The instrument’s validity was established through expert review for content and face validity, while its reliability was confirmed through a pilot test, yielding a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.82. Trained research assistants administered the questionnaire and ensured informed consent and respondent anonymity. The researchers analysed the data using SPSS, employing descriptive statistics and inferential tests such as t-tests and chi-square tests to compare responses between countries. The findings revealed that community-based schools improve access to quality education, reduce educational disparities, and enhance school effectiveness through active community participation. However, inadequate infrastructure and weak policy implementation continue to limit access to education, while Nigeria shows greater access to education through community-based schools than South Africa because of stronger community involvement. The study recommended strengthening the implementation of community-based education policies through adequate funding, effective monitoring, and improved rural infrastructure. It also emphasises promoting community participation in school governance, continuous teacher development, regular evaluation, and enhanced collaboration between Nigeria and South Africa to share best practices and improve educational access and quality.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of cooperative learning strategy on Social Studies pre-service teachers' attitudes toward cybercrime prevention. The study employed a quasi-experimental research design of the pre-test, post-test, and control group design. The population comprised pre-service teachers enrolled in Social Studies education departments across three universities in the Southwest region of Nigeria. A multistage sampling procedure was employed, selecting intact classes from each university. The research utilized a comprehensive set of instruments, including the Cooperative Learning Strategy Guide and Lecture Note (CLSG), Conventional Method Guide and Lecture Note (CMG), and Attitude to Cybercrime Prevention Scale (ACPS). Data analysis was conducted using descriptive and inferential statistics. All Hypotheses were tested at a significance level of 0.05. The findings showed that using cooperative learning strategies positively affects Social Studies pre-service teachers' attitudes toward cybercrime prevention. This approach encourages active engagement, collaboration, group discussions, problem-solving, and sharing learning experiences. These results revealed the necessity for tailored approaches to address attitude change effectively. Integrating cooperative learning strategies into higher education can help pre-service teachers take a proactive approach to cybercrime prevention. This will improve their knowledge and skills while promoting a safer digital learning environment for students.
