The paper pointed out that the Internet can be used for quality Social Studies Education for sustainable development in Nigeria. Suggestions on how to use the Internet for quality Social Studies Education for sustainable development were made. The paper employed a qualitative study approach. It discussed the Internet and quality Social Studies Education for sustainable development. It further discusses Social Studies Education and the concept of the Internet. It also looked at various scholars’ views on sustainable development. It went further to x-rayed the interaction with the Internet and the Internet for quality Social Studies Education for sustainable development. These include, among others, exposure of Social Studies teachers to internet usage for quality Social Studies Education for sustainable development and making school Net, Nigeria Dig Net a reality in Nigeria.

Abstract

The study explored innovative instructional strategy: effect of computer-aided instruction on social studies students’ achievement and retention outcome. The study was an experimental study. The sample of the study was 180 students. The instrument used for the study was the scholarly achievement test (SAT). Descriptive statistics were utilized to provide answers to the research questions and analysis of variance (ANOVA) was employed to test the hypotheses. The result established that computer-aided instruction (CAI) impacted social studies students’ achievement. The result also established a significantly improved retention of students instructed with CAI and that gender-wise, female students achieved better than the male students in the university. It was suggested that teachers should incorporate CAI into social studies lessons. Educators should be educated on the use of CAI.

Abstract

This study ascertained the influence of gender, locality and age on metacognitive reading strategies of secondary school students. The sample size consists of 440 students randomly selected from 23 secondary schools. An adopted questionnaire tagged “metacognitive reading strategies questionnaire,” was used as the data gathering instrument, with a logical validity of 0.88 and Cronbach alpha of 0.73 as internal consistency. The data collected were analysed statistically using descriptive statistics and t-tests. Data analysis revealed that females' reading strategies outnumber males'; females' global strategies ranked highest, while females' problem-solving strategies ranked lowest; and students in urban secondary schools tended to utilise metacognitive reading strategies more frequently than their rural counterparts. This study also shows that students with higher age brackets make more use of metacognitive reading strategies than lower-age students. Therefore, it is recommended that educators should be prepared to educate students how to effectively utilise various components of metacognitive reading strategies.

Abstract

The study dwelt on the analysis of implementation challenges of universal basic education (UBE) in public primary schools. The expose facto research design and survey method were adopted to carry out the study. The multistage sampling technique was adopted to select 414 teachers. A self-constructed instrument was used to conduct the study. The instrument’s reliability was tested using Cronbach alpha statistics, which gave a 0.75 alpha coefficient and was deemed reliable. The researcher and six research assistants administered the instrument. Descriptive statistics was used to analyze the research questions, while the hypothesis was tested with t-test statistics. The findings revealed many challenges facing the implementation of UBE in Delta state, which emanate primarily from parents and the government. It was recommended that the government provide adequate funds to provide a conducive environment for learning in school; the government should ensure that parents send their children to school by giving UBE more publicity, enlightening parents on the benefits of educating their wards, and enforcing sanctions to erring parents, among others.

Abstract

This study investigated the correlation between excessive exposure to digital media in the formative years and how children respond to the schooling environment in Nigeria. This study employed the correlational research design. The study sample involved 150 primary school pupils. The instrument for the study “digital media usage, types of digital media, and response” was used for data collection. The research questions were answered with Pearson product moment correlation, while hypotheses were tested with linear regression. The study revealed a statistically significant negative correlation between digital media use and how children respond to the schooling environment in Nigeria, as well as a positive relationship between the type of digital media use and how children respond to the schooling environment in Nigeria. Founded on the findings, the study recommended that parents should encourage a healthy mix of activities. Limit screen time, designate media-free zones, and promote activities like reading, outdoor play, and face-to-face socializing; schools should integrate technology strategically to enhance classroom learning. Explore educational apps, games, and online resources suitable to different learning styles. The government should consider developing age-appropriate guidelines for healthy digital media utilization in partnership with educators, parents, and health professionals.

Abstract

The study looked at how conceptual modelling (CM) and conceptual blending (CB) affected students’ achievement in chemistry. This study employed a quasi-experimental design. In this study, 274 seniors secondary (SSII) chemistry students from six coeducational secondary schools in the state were randomly selected using simple random sampling. The information was gathered using the chemistry achievement test (CAT). It was used for pre-test and post-test to evaluate students’ achievement in chemistry. All groups received these tests before and after a six-week course of therapy. The mean/average scores of the 3 groups on the pre-test and post-test were compared using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) of the CAT data. The study discovered that CM, as opposed to CB, had a significantly bigger effect on students’ achievement in chemistry. Chemistry achievement was significantly higher with CB than with the lecture approach (LA). According to the study, when compared to the LA, CM and CB are more effective teaching strategies for raising students’ achievement in chemistry. Furthermore, it was discovered that CM was the most successful approach. It was suggested, among other things, that chemistry instructors incorporate CM into their chemical lessons.
