Descriptive survey research design was employed in which a total sample of 120 Principals, Vice – principals, HOD’s, Subject Heads were randomly selected from a population of 2,224 teachers in Akure South Local Government Area of Ondo State, Nigeria. One research question and two hypotheses guided the conduct of the study. Findings revealed that both teachers and principals unanimously agreed with all the item of the ESTQQ (Educational Supervision Teaching Quality Questionnaire) that is, teachers’ qualification, experience, mastery of subject and classroom management and how it affects teaching quality in junior public secondary schools in Akure South LGA, Ondo State, Nigeria. Based on the findings, it was discovered that there is a wide array of challenges that educational supervision encounters in its mission to elevate teaching quality. Among these challenges are, the lack of adequate training programs for teachers, insufficient channels for effective communication between supervisors and the teacher, and a pervasive organizational climate that often stifles open dialogue and feedback. It was recommended that supportive environment promoting open communication among teachers and fostering trust and collaboration among staff is more effective and responsive toward educational supervision process.

Abstract

The debate between nature and nurture is a long-standing and highly deliberated concept in fields ranging from psychology to education. This research therefore sought to determine the effects of nature and nurture on academic performance, learning approaches, behaviours, and educational expectations among students within the context of Ogun State, Nigeria. The study adopted a quantitative research design where data was collected from 240 students and 60 teachers from three local government areas using structured questionnaires. Descriptive statistics, correlation analyses, and independent sample t-tests were used to analyze data. In this context, both direct genetic effects and indirect environmental influences on the investigated educational outcomes were identified. However, the level of using environmental factors including socioeconomic status, family, teaching approaches and resources was higher with significantly more frequency. The correlation analyses and t-tests also corroborated these findings, suggesting a connection between environment and academic performance, learning styles, behavioural patterns and educational achievements. The study adds to the current body of knowledge on the nature-nurture debate within the context of the education system in Nigeria. The findings underscore the role of socioeconomic status in children’s achievement and readiness to learn, emphasizing the need for equal opportunities in education and support for their aspirations. In the same respect, the study emphasizes the importance of a bio-psychosocial model that considers both genetic predeterminations and environmental conditions to explain educational processes and performance.

This study examined negative attitude of public secondary school students towards education in Ife South LGA, Osun State, Nigeria. Five research questions and five research hypotheses was raised. The study adopted the descriptive research design. The population of this study consists of all public senior secondary principals, teachers, students and parents in Ife South LGA, Osun State. Two hundred and thirty (230) respondents were randomly selected as sample for this study but only One Hundred Ninety – Six (196) questionnaires were retrieved for data analysis. A structured questionnaire was constructed and administered to the respondents for data collection. The data on the bio-data of the respondents were analyzed using simple percentages, frequency distribution tables and Chi-square (X2) statistical tool at 0.05 level of significance used for analyzing the hypotheses raised. The study found no significant relationship between planning and management and negative attitudes of public secondary school students in Ife–South LGA, Osun State. However, the school environment significantly impacts students' negative attitudes. Teachers' working experience, qualifications, and physical infrastructure also play a role. A conducive learning environment should be provided by both the Federal and State Governments in Nigeria, including well-equipped laboratories, workshops, classrooms, libraries, staff offices, and classroom accommodation. In conclusion, the study highlights the importance of addressing these factors to improve students' attitudes towards education in Ife–South LGA, Osun State. The study recommends that Nigerian leaders adopt the UNESCO recommendation for funding education, taking adequate remuneration and motivation seriously for teaching staff.
