Abstract

Arabic and Islamic education are inseparable as the knowledge of Arabic Language significantly complements that of Islamic Studies. The population of this study comprised all the senior secondary students offering Arabic and Islamic studies in Kwara State. To get the respondents, we used purposive sampling techniques with a population of students who sit in public and private high schools and have a record of studying Arabic and Islamic studies at WAEC and NECO SSCE. Research questions were answered with the percentage, mean and standard deviation, while the hypotheses were tested with the Person’s Chi- square at 0.05 alpha level, and the symmetric measure of Crammer’s V was used to determine the degree of relationship between the variables. Findings revealed that majority of students performed at the credit level (A1 to C6) in Arabic and Islamic Studies, Also, a significant correlation occurred between students’ performance in Arabic and Islamic Studies SSCE.

Abstract

Despite the fact that the certificates being awarded by senior school WAEC and NECO are said to be comparable, yet, stakeholders in the education sector doubt their correspondence in terms of students’ learning outcomes. While some students only register for NECO believing that they could not pass WAEC. This was part of what necessitated this study by determining the correspondence between students’ learning outcomes in senior school WAEC and NECO Arabic Language examinations in North-central from 2015 to 2019 academic sessions. This study was a descriptive study of the correlational type. Only the results of candidates that sat for WAEC and NECO Arabic Language examinations were logically selected for this study via a researcher-designed proforma. Thus, 948 students constituted the sample size for this study using a multistage sampling procedure. Data collected were analyzed using the percentage to answer the research questions while the Pearson’s chi-square at 0.05 alpha level was used to test the hypotheses. Findings indicated that a significant association existed between students’ learning outcomes in WAEC and NECO Arabic examinations in North-central Nigeria. It was therefore recommended that teachers of Arabic should work harder to sustain their students’ performance in Arabic Language.

Abstract

Background: Student engagement is crucial for academic success, yet many undergraduates exhibit low participation, poor attendance, and disengagement in General Studies (GNS) courses. Traditional teaching methods often fail to address the needs of diverse learners, particularly in large classes. The University of Ilorin recognizes the need for innovative approaches to improve academic engagement and outcomes. Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the development and implementation of an Interactive Digital Manual (IDM) tailored to the specific needs of GNS students. It examined the effects of the IDM on student attendance, engagement, and academic participation, alongside students’ perceptions of its impact on learning and retention. Method: A mixed-methods approach was employed, involving 1,332 participants selected from 200-level GNS courses across 17 faculties. Quantitative data were collected through surveys and attendance logs, while qualitative data were gathered via open-ended questions and focus group discussions. Statistical analyses were used to evaluate the IDM's impact. Results: The findings reveal significant improvements in attendance and engagement following the IDM's implementation. Median attendance increased by 866, while engagement scores rose from a mean of 32.5 to 75.8. Students highlighted features such as self-paced learning, interactive exercises, and real-time feedback as critical to their improved understanding and retention of course material. Conclusion: The IDM effectively enhances student engagement, attendance, and learning outcomes in GNS courses. Its innovative design addresses diverse learning needs, offering a structured, accessible, and interactive platform. This study underscores the value of digital tools in fostering academic success and calls for their broader integration into educational strategies.
