Abstract

The study investigated the rural socioeconomic impact of arms proliferation on criminality in Katsina-Ala local government, Benue state, Nigeria. Two research questions guided the study, and a cross-sectional survey research design will be used to examine arms proliferation and criminality in Benue State. Area of the Study Katsina-Ala Local Government, while the sample size for the study was 400, the research uses cluster and random sampling techniques to select the study population. By simple random sampling, the names of the ten (12) council wards were written on pieces of paper, wrapped, dropped into a container and shaken thoroughly. Five (6) council wards out of the original ten (12) wards were randomly selected. The data collected through the questionnaire were analysed using frequency counts and percentages. From the findings, it was concluded from the research findings that even though arms proliferation is caused by so many factors, profitability and utilisation of small arms have been singled out as the primary cause of the unrest in Katsina-Ala Local Government Area of Benue State.

Abstract

Purpose: This research examines the presence of Differential Item Functioning (DIF) in the NECO SSCE Chemistry Multiple Choice Test administered in Nigeria's North Central region between 2021 and 2022. DIF refers to differences in test item performance across various student groups. Methodology: Using Classical Test Theory (CTT) and Item Response Theory (IRT) frameworks, the study employed an ex-post-facto design to analyze existing data from 3,012 chemistry students. Statistical methods such as factor analysis, local independence testing, and ability estimation were used for data analysis. Findings: The findings revealed minimal DIF related to language. The study highlights the need to address biases and inequities in test items and provides recommendations for enhancing fairness, validity, and reliability in assessments. Significance: These include revising test items, collaborating with subject experts, offering training on inclusive assessment practices, applying robust sampling techniques, conducting continuous monitoring, and developing targeted interventions to support students affected by DIF.
