Abstract

This study investigates junior secondary school teachers' perspectives on integrating life skills into the basic science curriculum to enhance students’ upskilling in Anambra State. Employing a survey design, self-structured questionnaires were distributed via Google survey to 80 participating teachers. The research instrument's content validity was ensured through professional input, and reliability was confirmed with a Cronbach's coefficient alpha of 0.77. Demographic data were analyzed using frequency counts and percentages, while mean, standard deviation, and t-tests were employed to assess research questions and hypotheses. The findings provide a comprehensive understanding of teachers' viewpoints on life skills integration, emphasizing challenges and opportunities in the context of basic science education. This study contributes to educational discourse, offering insights that can inform curriculum design and support systems to enhance student upskilling through effective life skills integration.

Abstract

This study evaluated the insecticidal potentials of two botanicals, Chilli Pepper (Capsicum frutescens) and Guinea Pepper (Xylopia aethiopica), in controlling the Bean Weevil (Callosobruchus maculatus). The research was conducted at the Laboratory unit of the Zoology Department, Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka, and the Phytochemical Analysis was carried out at Docchy Analytical Laboratory and Environmental Services Awka, Anambra State. The experiment spanned from December 2023 to February 2024. The efficacy of the botanicals was assessed using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) method, treating cowpea seeds (Vigna unguiculata) infested with C. maculatus. The study involved the rearing of C. maculatus from a laboratory culture derived from infested cowpea seeds. Experimental cowpea seeds were prepared, sterilized, and treated with various concentrations of the botanical powders. Data on mortality were collected over 120 hours. Phytochemical analysis of the plant materials was conducted using Gas Chromatography with a Flame Ionization Detector (GC-FID) to identify and quantify phytochemicals present in the extracts. Results revealed significant insecticidal properties in both Capsicum frutescens and Xylopia aethiopica. Mortality rates of C. maculatus were observed to increase with higher concentrations of the botanicals, indicating dose-dependent effects. The findings suggest that Capsicum frutescens and Xylopia aethiopica hold promise as natural insecticides for controlling bean weevil infestations in cowpea storage. Further studies are warranted to explore their potential as alternatives to synthetic insecticides, considering their eco-friendly nature and potential benefits in sustainable pest management practices.
