Choice of career is one of the most important decisions that everyone makes in life. This choice in most cases determines placement in the workplace. The determinants of the choices students make career-wise include parents, peers, passion and perceived prospects among others. The choice of career made by individuals have long-term implications on their employability status most especially in the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) which aims at raising global income levels and improve the quality of life for populations around the world through applied science and technology. The descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The multi-stage sampling procedure was used. A purposive sampling technique was used to select five faculties out of the existing thirteen faculties at Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria. Five hundred (500) undergraduates were selected across the five selected faculties using simple random sampling technique with 100 students selected from each faculty. Descriptive and Inferential statistics were used to analyse the data collected for the study. The study found out that parental values and expectations has significant influence on the career choice of students and that career choice in turn has significant relationship with their employability prospects. The paper recommended among others the need for students to be allowed to make their career choices based on interest and ability with proper guidance by parents and surrogate parents.

Abstract

Sexual harassment in universities undermines gender equity, safety, and learning. This study assessed the level of implementation of the anti-sexual harassment policy and the influence of implementation of the policy on gender protection of students and staff of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Nigeria. The study was hinged on the feminist theory. The feminist theory considers the plight of any person or people not just women, with a view to destabilizing systems of power and oppression, especially in an academic environment as in this context. The study adopted cross sectional survey research design. The population comprised of 450 students and 200 members of staff (100 teaching and non-teaching staff each) making a total of 650 participants, using a stratified random sampling to ensure proportional representation from the 10 selected faculties. Data was collected using questionnaires and gathered data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results identified gaps in initial awareness and understanding of the anti-sexual harassment policy among students and staff which constituted a setback for the implementation. It was equally noted that the policy development process lacked inclusivity, and implementation activities were perceived as insufficient. Since the implementation process was faulty, the policy has not been able to significantly achieve gender protection on the Campus. The students had uncertain views on the policy's impact, while staff had mixed opinions. The study recommended the need to strengthen policy implementation by way of improving communication channels, transparency, stakeholders’ involvement, and monitoring while punitive measures must be enforced when necessary.

Abstract

Transitioning from high school to university is one of the challenges undergraduates face when navigating their studies. This study assessed the management of welfare services and determined the level of students’ educational stability in Nigerian universities. The research was based on Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, providing insights into how students’ welfare needs impact on their educational stability. The study utilized descriptive research survey design. Two universities, namely Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) and Oduduwa University (OUI) in Nigeria, were purposively selected for the study. A sample of 500 students was chosen from six out of the thirteen faculties in OAU and two out of the four colleges in OUI using a simple random sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The study revealed that while clear policies guide the management of students’ affairs in the universities, there is inadequate engagement with the students by the authorities in managing students' welfare services, leading to student unrest at times. The study recommends the necessity for proper engagement and more responsive efforts to address the welfare needs of students by relevant authorities.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is making impact in every field of study, various aspects of human life, and the higher education sector. The functioning of the university revolves around three main functions which include teaching, research and community service. This study examined the impact of AI on the performance of the three core functions of the university teacher. The theoretical framework for the study is the connectivism theory, which is of the view that technology plays a crucial role in connecting teachers, researchers, and learners to a vast amount of information. Using the thematic review approach and available secondary data on impact of AI on teaching, research and community service, the desktop design was employed for the paper. The desktop design is concerned with cross-referencing and collection of data from existing resources such as academic publications, empirical reports and bulletins. The findings of the study established that the emergence of AI in higher education is a positive development which has made the task of teaching, research and community service easier with the various AI support tools. The study concluded by emphasizing the need for education stakeholders to use various AI tools responsibly.
