Abstract

The age long tradition of Field-Based Excursion (FBE) is being eroded as effective learning strategy in secondary schools. This study considers investigating FBE and the teaching and learning of geography in some selected secondary schools in Akoko Southwest, Ondo State, Nigeria with a view to examining; the practice of FBE in the selected secondary schools,  students’ perceptions to FBE practice in secondary school, FBE and perceived relationship with geography subject, and FBE and learning impacts on secondary school students. The sample population consists of students of secondary school offering Geography as a subject in Akoko Southwest Area of Ondo State, Nigeria. Purposive sampling technique was adopted in selecting twelve (12) secondary schools, while ten (10) students each were randomly selected from sampled schools. This sample gave a total of one hundred and twenty (120) respondents in this study. Learning and Excursion Questionnaire (LEQ) was built using four points Likert scale with Mean Weight Values (MWV) and Grand Mean Value (GMV) for perception analysis. The decision states, accept the perception if the MWV is greater than the MWV; and reject, if otherwise. Results show that; responses denote excursion is no longer part of school curriculum, group excursion could be a preferred mode of FBE for optimum productivity, all aspects of  geography require FBE for better understanding” was ranked 1st on MWV=3.55, which signifies high level of relationship,  It is worthy of note that significant impacts of FBE has far enriching impacts on students’ learning habits.  The study concludes that efforts are needed to reintroduce FBE for quality educational delivery. It therefore recommends that there should be a reintroduction of FBE into secondary school curriculum so it can be made compulsory for students. Government and stakeholder at different levels should ensure adequate sponsor of FBE to bridge the cap for less privileged students. Teachers should introduce field-based approach to teaching methods.

Abstract

Urbanization and industrial development have intensified pressure on forest reserves in cities and settlement areas, increasing the vulnerability of urban forests to land-use change. This study examines the effects of land-use changes on forest encroachment in Akure City, Ondo State, Nigeria. A remote sensing and GIS-based approach was employed using satellite imagery obtained from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) for 2000, 2010, and 2020. The images were processed and analyzed using ArcMap 10.5 and Environment for Visualizing Images (ENVI) software to assess changes in land-use and land-cover patterns over the study period. The findings reveal notable changes in Akure City’s land-use structure, with less dense forest accounting for 41%, 66%, and 58% in 2000, 2010, and 2020, respectively, while built-up areas increased from 1.53% in 2000 to 3.28% in 2010 and 5.28% in 2020. The loss of natural vegetation also increased substantially from 4.4 km² in 2000 to 9.34 km² in 2010 and 12.01 km² in 2020. Surface water bodies were nearly absent in 2000 but accounted for 0.93 km² in 2010 and 0.66 km² in 2020. These findings indicate that continued urban expansion and associated land-use changes are likely to accelerate forest encroachment in Akure City. The study contributes to urban environmental management by highlighting the need for government authorities at all levels to implement sustainable forest conservation strategies and integrated city management policies.
