Abstract

The study examined the relationship between withdrawal behaviours and administrative effectiveness of heads of academic departments of the universities in Edo State Two research questions were raised and two hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The study adopted the combination of survey method and correlational research design. A sample of 1,100 representing 40 percent of the population was drawn using the multi-stage stratified random sampling technique. The instruments used for the study were Absenteeism of Academic Staff (AASS) and Instrument for Measuring Lateness of Academic Staff (MLASS) and Head of Department Administrative Effectiveness Questionnaire (HODAEQ). Cronbach Alpha reliability was used to determine the reliability of the instruments. Hypotheses 1 and 2 were tested,  using the Pearson Product Moment Correlation Co-efficient. The results of the study showed that: there was a strong, inverse and significant relationship between academic staff absenteeism and administrative effectiveness of the Heads of Department. The study also found that there was a strong, inverse and significant relationship between academic staff, lateness and administrative effectiveness of the heads of department. It was therefore concluded that absenteeism and lateness withdrawal behaviour of academic staff has adverse effect on HOD’s administrative effectiveness. The study consequently recommended among others staff enlightenment on the adverse impact of Academic Staff withdrawal behaviours on Heads of Departments’ administrative effectiveness.

Abstract

Infant mortality from vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs) remains a public health problem. Low immunization coverage can hamper the effectiveness of infectious disease prevention in infants. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of immunization in preventing VPD, increasing the body's resistance to infection, and reducing infant mortality. This study used a quantitative approach with a descriptive survey design. The study population consisted of 150 women, with all of them being sampled using the total sampling technique. Data were collected through a questionnaire that had been tested for validity by health experts and tested for reliability using the test-retest method. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, including frequencies, percentages, and averages, with the help of SPSS version 22. The results showed that immunization is effective in preventing VPD, increasing infants' resistance to infectious diseases, and reducing infant mortality. The conclusion of this study confirms that immunization is a significant health intervention in reducing the risk of infection and infant mortality. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of educating mothers about the benefits of immunization and the need for community-based strategies to increase immunization coverage.

Abstract

This study addressed the problem of limited knowledge and varying attitudes towards assessment and testing among school and practicing counsellors in Nigeria. The research aimed to explore the relationships between knowledge and attitudes towards these practices. Using four research questions and hypotheses, the study targeted all counsellors in Nigeria, with a purposive random sample of 350 participants drawn from attendees at the annual APROCON and CASSON conferences. Data were collected through the "Knowledge and Attitude towards Assessment and Testing among School and Practicing Counsellors in Nigeria Scale (KAATSOPCNS)," developed after an extensive literature review. Analysis was conducted using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (PPMCC). The findings revealed significant relationships between counsellors' knowledge and attitudes towards assessment and testing, emphasizing the need for deeper understanding and professional competence. It is recommended that counsellors acquire requisite qualifications, gain practical experience, and participate in regular professional development programs to enhance their proficiency in assessment and testing. These steps are essential to ensure effective counselling practices in Nigeria.

Abstract

The focus of this study is the limited understanding of socio-demographic factors influencing assessment and testing practices among school counselors and other practicing counselors. This research aims to identify the socio-demographic variables that predict such practices. The study employed a quantitative approach with a survey design. The sample comprised 218 counselors selected through purposive sampling during the annual conference of a professional counseling association. Data were collected using an instrument titled “Socio-demographic Variables Predicting Assessment and Testing Practices of School and other Practicing Counsellors Scale (SVPATPSPCNS),” developed based on an in-depth literature review. Data collection was conducted by the researcher and six research assistants. Data analysis utilized multiple regression methods to identify predictive variables. The results indicate that socio-demographic variables such as qualifications, experience, location, and training significantly influence counselors' assessment and testing practices. The findings emphasize the importance of adequate qualifications, sufficient experience, and participation in training and conferences to enhance counselors' competencies in assessment and testing practices. Key recommendations include the need for counselors to obtain relevant formal education, participate in empowerment training, and continuously improve their professional competencies through conferences and advanced training programs.
