Abstract

This study examined the effect of test-taking skills training counselling techniques on test anxiety among secondary school students in Ilorin metropolis, Nigeria. The study aimed to determine the technique's effect on physiological, cognitive, behavioural, and emotional components of test anxiety. The research employed a quasi-experimental design, focusing on 15 SS2 students identified with high test anxiety. Using a Test Taking Anxiety Checklist and Student Test Anxiety Scales, the study measured anxiety levels before and after a 6-week test-taking skills training treatment. Data were analysed using paired sample t-tests to compare pre-test and post-test scores. The findings of this study revealed that test-taking skills training counselling technique had a significant effect on physiological (t = 20.68, p = 0.000), cognitive (t = 16.61, p = 0.000), behavioural (t = 16.55, p = 0.000) and emotional (t = 19.23, p = 0.000) components of test anxiety among secondary school students in Ilorin metropolis. This study therefore concludes that test-taking skills training counselling technique significantly reduced the physiological, cognitive, behavioural and emotional components of test anxiety among secondary school students. Based on this, it was recommended among others that, Professional Counsellors and Psychologists should include the use of test-taking skills and training techniques in secondary school programmes and training to assist the students in learning how to manage their time effectively, have adequate preparation before any test and to read test instructions carefully and attentively

Abstract

This study investigated the prevalence of work stress and its impact on marital stability among married lecturers at the University of Ilorin, Nigeria. A descriptive correlational survey design was employed, and 100 married lecturers were selected through a multistage sampling technique across five faculties. Data were gathered using a researcher-designed instrument titled “Work Stress and Marital Stability Questionnaire (WSMSQ),” which demonstrated strong reliability with a Cronbach Alpha coefficient of 0.81. Descriptive and inferential statistics, including Pearson Product-Moment Correlation, independent samples t-test, and one-way ANOVA, were used to analyze the data at a 0.05 level of significance. Results revealed a significant negative correlation between work stress and marital stability (r = –.426, p < .05), indicating that increased work stress is associated with reduced marital stability. However, no statistically significant differences were found in the relationship between work stress and marital stability based on gender, academic rank, or religion. These findings suggest that work-related stress affects marital relationships broadly, regardless of these demographic variables. The study recommends the establishment of faculty-based counselling services, institutional stress management policies, and marital support programs to help academic staff maintain healthy work-life balance. The study uniquely examines the marital implications of occupational stress among Nigerian lecturers, whereas prior studies have focused mainly on occupational outcomes.

Abstract

The study investigated the need for career guidance in the Almajiri school system as perceived by teachers in Kebbi State, Nigeria. The population consisted of all teachers within the state. The researchers purposively selected six large schools in Brinin Kebbi which is the state capital, and another six large secondary schools in Argungu. Fifty teachers were picked in each of the schools using simple random sampling technique. Thus, a total of six hundred respondents partook in this study. Need for Career Guidance in Almajiri schools (NCGASQ) was the instrument used in this study. The questionnaire was the major instrument used to gather data from the respondents. This instrument was divided into two sections. Section A contains respondents’ demographic data, similarly, Section B comprises information that elicits responses on the need for career guidance among the Amanjiri in Kebbi State. The findings showed that the perception of the respondents based on gender and educational level were the same. However, respondents’ career perceptions differed according to age and religion. The information given by respondents between the age group of 42 years and above differed significantly from those of the other groups, while the differences were noted in the responses of those practicing African traditional religion. It was however recommended that the government should employ trained career counsellors in the Almanjiri school system this will equally assist these students.

Abstract

This study examined the teachers’ perceptions on the pattern and consequences of examination malpractice among in-school adolescents in Kwara State. The descriptive survey design was adopted for this study. In each of the Senatorial districts in Kwara State, one hundred respondents took part in this study. Thus, a total of three hundred teachers participated in the study. Simple random technique was used in selecting the respondents. The researchers developed questionnaire titled Pattern and Consequences of Examination malpractice (PCEMQ) was administered to teachers. Six null hypotheses were tested using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and t-test statistical tool at 0.05 alpha level. The outcome of the study revealed that all the hypotheses were accepted. However, a significant difference was found in the pattern of examination malpractices based on gender. It is therefore recommended that school administrators should clearly spell out the rules and regulations guiding the conduct of examinations in schools. A constant reminder of these rules is expected to further strengthen compliance.
