Abstract

The United Nations' global call for inclusive and equitable quality education has promoted many developing countries including Nigeria to focus on improving the quality of education. This has led to growing recognition of pivotal roles teachers’ quality play in ensuring high-quality teaching and instruction in the classroom. Therefore, this study examines the determinants of teachers’ effectiveness and their effects on students learning optimization in primary and secondary schools in Lagos State, Nigeria. A correlational research design was used for the study. Simple random sampling was used to select 480 respondents. Data were collected using questionnaire titled: Teachers Effectiveness and Students Learning Optimization (TESLO).   Descriptive statistics, T-test, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Pearson Moment Correlation were used to analyse the data collected. Instructional planning/delivery was found to be the foremost factor that determines teachers' effectiveness.  There was a significant difference in the effect of different determinants of teachers’ effectiveness on students' learning optimization (ANOVA at P 0.05). Correlation between teachers' age and teaching effectiveness was determined using Pearson Moment Correlation, the result showed that age has a positive correlation with teachers’ effectiveness (at r = 0.00). Students' learning optimization can be enhanced through instructional planning and teachers’ professional development. Instructional planning should be prioritized in teacher professional development programme. Teachers should individualize instruction, and modify their curriculum, teaching methods, and resources according to students' needs and questions to create a more effective learning environment for their students.

Abstract

As Nigeria’s artisanal gold mining (AGM) sector continues to expand, the environmental and socio-economic costs of this practice are becoming increasingly evident. This study examines the impact of AGM activities on aquaculture and livelihoods among fisherfolks with a focus on policy options for a more sustainable future. Multistage sampling was used to select 120 fisherfolks as respondents for data collection. Questionnaire was used for data collection. The findings revealed significant environmental degradation, including land degradation, water pollution and loss of biodiversity which in turn affected the livelihoods of fisherfolks. Thus, the productivity of fishery activities is limited and livelihood is affected, thereby leading to a low standard of life among fishers. Additionally, there was a significant relationship between mining activities and the productivity of the aquaculture industry in Nigeria (r = 0.624, p = 0.001). This study recommends community-led initiatives for environmental conservation and socio-economic development.
