Abstract

The research examined the impact of Moodle on the academic performance and satisfaction of distance learning undergraduates in Environmental Education. A repeated measures design was employed, involving 113 purposefully selected environmental education students. Data were collected using the Environmental Education Achievement Test (EEAT) and the Moodle Online Learning Satisfaction Inventory (MOLSI), both of which underwent validation and reliability testing. Students completed two pre-tests and pre-satisfaction assessments before the intervention, followed by two post-tests and post-satisfaction assessments afterward. Data analysis was conducted using repeated measures analysis of variance. The results indicate that Moodle significantly enhanced students' academic performance (F (3,336) = 193.189, P = 0.00, effect size = 0.963) and satisfaction (F (3,336) = 154.112, P = 0.00, effect size = 0.957). Additionally, Mauchly’s test of sphericity showed no violations for either achievement (W = 0.741, P = 0.621) or satisfaction (W = 0.604, P = 0.572). The study also found that variables such as age, gender, location, and device type did not significantly moderate the impact of Moodle on students' achievement. These findings suggest that incorporating Moodle into distance learning curricula could benefit environmental education lecturers, researchers, and policymakers in Nigeria by fostering the development of skilled and environmentally literate graduates

Abstract

Objective:  This study attempts to narrow the gap in the implementation of how people perceive, accept, and interpret challenges of color-coded waste bin systems in Nigerian cities, particularly in Lokoja, Kogi State, as a response to the challenges of municipal solid waste management. Method: This study employed a qualitative research design to investigate in-depth viewpoints, experiences, and recommendations regarding current waste management procedures and solutions. A total of twenty purposefully chosen participants were involved: ten residents (R1–R10), five local government representatives (LG1–LG5), three waste collectors (WC1–WC3), and two community leaders (CL1–CL2). Phenomenology was used to understand how different stakeholders perceive and experience issues related to waste segregation, focusing on the possibility of color-coded bins. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews and focus groups, then transcribed verbatim and analyzed thematically using NVivo 12. Results: The results indicated that the adoption of color-coded bins based on traffic signal colors that are already culturally familiar was viewed favorably, despite potential obstacles such as cost, low education levels, and enforcement challenges. Participants also highlighted the financial and environmental benefits, including increased recycling rates, reduced landfill reliance, and income streams. Overall, there was moderate awareness of waste management challenges, and the color-coded bins were seen as a culturally relevant and pragmatic solution to waste disposal issues in Lokoja. Novelty: This study presents a novel approach to addressing municipal waste management issues in Nigerian cities by introducing a color-coded bin system that is culturally familiar and practically applicable, aiming to improve waste segregation. The study also emphasizes the need for collaboration among government agencies, community stakeholders, academic institutions, and international partners to ensure the successful implementation of such interventions.
