Abstract

The concept of spatial ability has been viewed within the boundary of technology and engineering by many researchers and education experts undermining its relevance to Physics at the secondary schools level. Spatial ability gives a wider ability to the use of higher order thinking skills which are accounted valuable for analysis, synthesis and evaluation needed in solving problems and has the tendency to influence students’ attitude. Therefore,   the study examined the influence of spatial ability levels on the performance and attitude of Physics students in public secondary schools in Osun State, Nigeria. A descriptive survey design was used for the study. The population for the study consisted of all the students in public secondary schools in four Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Ife in Osun State of Nigeria. A representative sample of 270 Physics students was selected using multi-stage sampling technique. Three instruments used for data collection are: Adapted Spatial Ability Test (ASAT), Performance Test in Physics (PTP) and Students’ Attitude Physics Questionnaire (SAPQ). Content validity of the three instruments was ensured by experts’ judgments. The reliability coefficient of 0.75, 0.85 and 0.82 were obtained for ASAT, PTP and SAPQ respectively. The results of the study classified students’ spatial ability to low, average and high levels and  many students had low spatial ability. The results of the study further showed that that there is statistically significant influence of spatial ability levels on the performance of physics students in the study areas.  The finding showed that there is no statistically significant influence of spatial ability levels on attitude of students towards Physics in the study areas. Consequently, it was recommended that there should be ongoing research on spatial ability to provide information for physics teachers and that Physics students should be encouraged to take lesson on various spatial ability activities.

Abstract

Poverty is a man-made scenario which effects are devastating on humans and national development.  With the multi-dimensionality of the concept of poverty and its implications, the governments around the world came out with the vision of eradicating poverty in all its forms through Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. This paper systematically review literature and synthesizes on Physics education’s role in poverty alleviation. The paper underlines the importance of education particularly influence of Physics knowledge to envision and prepare individuals to come out from the clog of poverty. The paper reviewed the contributory nature of Physics knowledge in stirring up   humans’ mind towards problem solving, creativity, practical knowledge for entrepreneurial skills that could be useful to repair devices such as calculator, radio, television   and electrical installation of gadgets and wiring of houses, production of laboratory equipment, manufacture of knife edges for sale to schools.  Besides, the usefulness of Physics knowledge across all disciplines can enhance technical and technology development which could boost economic development. The study concluded that Physics knowledge should not be confined to Physics students alone but some of  the applied concepts to daily life should be taught to all learners at the foundational levels of education. However, with the usefulness of Physics knowledge to reduce poverty levels, the paper reviewed some of the constraints in achieving this which includes lack of adequate infrastructure, shortage of well-equipped Physics laboratories, lack of up-to-date textbooks, curriculum implementation deficiency and insufficient access to modern technology among others.
