Abstract

Examination anxiety has made students fail their examinations, causing many problems, including depression and suicide. The study aimed to investigate study habit strategies for overcoming examination anxiety as perceived by undergraduate students in Kwara State, Nigeria. The influence of gender, academic level, and age on strategies for handling examination anxiety were also investigated. A descriptive survey was adopted, with a sample of 250 respondents selected through a multistage sampling procedure to participate. Data was collected through Study Habit for overcoming Examination Anxiety Questionnaire (SHEAQ). The instrument was validated by four experts in measurement and has a good reliability coefficient obtained through test re-test. One research question and three hypotheses guided the study. Based on data analysis with t-test and ANOVA, hypothesis 1 was retained, while hypotheses 2 and 3 were rejected. Findings showed that overcoming examination anxiety as perceived by respondents are: reviewing what was taught, having adequate time for study, and testing oneself, among other strategies. Findings also showed no significant difference in the strategies for overcoming examination anxiety based on gender; significant differences were found based on academic level and age. Therefore, students should be counseled on the need to develop good study habits to pass examinations.

Abstract

The study investigated the need for career guidance in the Almajiri school system as perceived by teachers in Kebbi State, Nigeria. The population consisted of all teachers within the state. The researchers purposively selected six large schools in Brinin Kebbi which is the state capital, and another six large secondary schools in Argungu. Fifty teachers were picked in each of the schools using simple random sampling technique. Thus, a total of six hundred respondents partook in this study. Need for Career Guidance in Almajiri schools (NCGASQ) was the instrument used in this study. The questionnaire was the major instrument used to gather data from the respondents. This instrument was divided into two sections. Section A contains respondents’ demographic data, similarly, Section B comprises information that elicits responses on the need for career guidance among the Amanjiri in Kebbi State. The findings showed that the perception of the respondents based on gender and educational level were the same. However, respondents’ career perceptions differed according to age and religion. The information given by respondents between the age group of 42 years and above differed significantly from those of the other groups, while the differences were noted in the responses of those practicing African traditional religion. It was however recommended that the government should employ trained career counsellors in the Almanjiri school system this will equally assist these students.

Abstract

The rate at which Nigerian youths take up arms to perpetuate anti-social acts has become a major concern to the populace. This study investigated the influence of child abuse on youth restiveness as perceived by security personnel in Ilorin metropolis, Kwara State. The study was a survey research. The population of this study comprised all security personnel in Ilorin metropolis and 200 respondents were randomly selected for the study. A questionnaire entitled “Influence of Child Abuse on Youths Restiveness Questionnaire” (ICAYRQ) was used to collect data for the study. Percentage was used to analyse the demographic data. Mean and rank order analysis was used to answer the research question while the four null hypotheses formulated were tested using t-test and ANOVA statistical techniques. The findings of the study revealed that security personnel attested that child abuse on youth has a negative influence on the youth’s restiveness and it made victims exhibit antisocial behaviour and delinquency; lack empathy and compassion towards others; and exhibit aggressive behaviour towards others. The study further revealed that there was no significant difference in the influence of child abuse on youth restiveness as perceived by security personnel in Ilorin metropolis based on gender, age, educational qualification and years of experience. Based on the findings of this study, it was recommended that security agencies should establish and strengthen support services such as counselling and therapy for victims of child abuse. Counsellors should work closely with security personnel to ensure a coordinated approach to addressing youth restiveness.
